Chapter 4 - The File Contains Sadi’s Old Name

Mall security separated us while police took statements.

Roman sat beside me as an officer documented my swelling.

Then he gave me the file.

HALE & WEXLER — VENDOR DUE DILIGENCE.

Trevor’s law firm was being considered for regulatory work connected to

a Vale Maritime acquisition.

Trevor’s biography included an old address.

My old address.

Beneath it was a dismissed debt action against SADIRA BENNETT.

My legal name.

The underlying private loan was forty-eight thousand dollars.

Taken in my name two months before Trevor disappeared.

I had never applied for it.

The signature looked like mine.

It was not.

My hands went cold.

Roman said quietly:

“That is why I knew his name.”
