"Report," I say to Ryan as I step into the Detention center where Leah is being held as she waits for trial which is the day after tomorrow.
Ryan falls into step with me as we walk, and he responds. "She hasn't said a word. She keeps pleading the Fifth. Detectives can't get anything out of her. She's been stonewalling since the moment she was brought in."
I stop walking and turn to face him slowly, my eyes narrowing.

I stare at him, my jaw clenched so hard I'm shocked my teeth are not falling off.
"Ryan," I say with deadly calm, "you have ten seconds to explain what the hell you're talking about."
He flinches slightly, but then his eyes meet mine, "It seems she has someone backing her. Otherwise, why would she be so confident and arrogant with all this evidence against her?"
I breathe in through my nose, slowly, carefully. Hoping it will calm me down.
It doesn't.
It fucking makes me see red.
"She asked for her lawyer, but the idiot didn't even show up. But that didn't seem
to bother her. She's so sure she'll walk out free. I was going to report it to you, but...," he trails off.
I understand why he didn't. Luca's word is as final as mine, so he obviously took it as my order.
