The early morning light was pale and cool as Iris walked through the private side entrance of St. Clare's Hospital.She wore her dark wool coat buttoned high, her hand resting lightly over her evening purse. She bypassed the busy general admissions lobby and took the rear elevator directly to the private women's health pavilion on the fourth floor.Dr. Priya Raman, Lead OB/GYN, stood inside a private examination suite. She was a warm, sharp-eyed woman in her early fifties who greeted Iris with a quiet, reassuring smile. She locked the heavy door behind Iris and pulled the privacy blind across the frosted glass window."Mrs. Sterling," Dr. Raman said gently. "Dr. Nathan Hughes updated me on your situation. Your confidential consultation was cleared under direct medical privilege.""Thank you, Dr. Raman," Iris said, setting her coat on the chair. "I need complete medical confidentiality. No records from this consultation may enter the general Sterling Global network or Ravenhill Manor b

The calibration lights on the Handheld XRF Spectrometer glowed green inside the vault intake office of Marchetti Appraisals.Iris sat at her workbench, wearing dark protective gloves as she calibrated the X-ray detector probe. On the high-definition monitor beside her desk, the digital spectroscopic baseline was set to scan for a specific platinum-iridium ratio: ninety-five percent platinum, five percent iridium, mixed with micro-traces of cobalt.It was her grandfather Arthur Brooks's signature 1998 alloy formula, used in the mounting bezel of Master Project AB-1998-042.Paige Ellison walked into the intake office holding a velvet tray of estate brooches. She paused, watching Iris double-check the emission spectrum against the digital archives."Calibrating the X-ray detector probe for platinum group alloys?"

Morning sunlight fell across the stainless-steel prep counters in the ground-floor kitchen of Ravenhill Manor.Iris walked into the kitchen prep area, her dark hair pulled back into a neat knot. She wore a tailored charcoal blazer and a simple white blouse, prepared for her second day at Marchetti Appraisals. In her hand, she carried an empty porcelain mug.Greta stood near the pantry counter, her back turned to the door. Beside her rested a crystal water carafe lined with silver filigree, designated for Kieran's private breakfast table in the adjacent dining room.Greta's hands moved with deliberate speed. She pulled a small glass vial from her dark apron, uncapped it, and tilted two clear drops of belladonna tincture into the neck of the crystal carafe.Iris stopped near the kitchen doorway, her shoes making no sound against the rubber floor runner.Having served four months in the prison infirmary, Iris recognized the subtle hand movements insta
