She had looked at their location weeks ago on that first legitimate errand when she had spent forty-five extra seconds in the right section without touching anything. She touched them now. Pulled the file. Found the section. The documents she needed were twelve pages. She had memorised the page numbers. She photographed them in under four minutes. Clean. No mistakes. The phone held flat and steady the way she had learned to hold it. She put the file back. Tab facing the right way. Flush with the files on either side. Walked out. Down the corridor. Back to her desk. Sat down. Opened the Calloway document on her screen.

I murmur more to myself as I reach into the drawer beneath my desk and remove a small bottle filled with clear liquid.

A hidden sheet unfolds from within and unlike everything before it… This page contains only one sentence, written in hurried and uneven handwriting.

Mine: nine to ten. I stood with my coffee cup and looked at it. I looked at it for longer than twelve seconds. The document did not change under extended examination. It remained what it was: one page, two time windows, a sentence about household routines. Very clean. Very considered.

Cross and Voss were both present. Cross had driven in from the city. Voss had come from the university. They sat on one side of the table. Phoenix on the other. Eva beside me.
