"I want to see the footage from the press conference first," Caro said, before Peter could reach for his phone. "Before we do anything else. I want to know exactly what Andrea Voss asked, and exactly how she phrased it."
They'd retreated to Peter's office, the city's afternoon light slanting across the same desk where, weeks ago, Caro had corrected a balance sheet discrepancy and changed the way Peter looked at her for the first time. Peter pulled up the clip without argument, and they watched it together, Andrea Voss's question playing again, sharp and deliberate.
"Is it true her name is Lena, and that she's been alive this entire time, hiding less than two hours from this building?"
Caro paused the video. "That phrasing. 'Less than two hours from this building.' That's not a guess, Peter. That's someone who knows roughly where Aldric's apartment is."
