Chapter 21: Before the Order Goes Cold
I take the interim order from Cormac Deane and press it flat against his chest.
The paper bends between us. He does not reach for it.
'You said the hearing would not protect the fees unless the judge signed before the ward closed its accounts.'
'He signed.'
'And the ward received it?'
'Elena confirmed the notice reached their accounts office. The private placement continues.'
I read the heading again. Interim order. Asset disclosure. Restrictions on disposal. The language is dry and exact. It does not mention the liver scar under my blouse or the house Gregor tried to sell while calling me a cleaner.
It cares that he moved money while presenting himself as unable to pay.
My mother keeps her room. She keeps the specialist staff. She does not get transferred because Gregor needs his new life funded first.
That is the part I needed.
Cormac takes the order from my fingers and places it on the conference table. His pencil lies beside it, blunt from use. He underlines the payment provision twice.
'I am leaving this with Elena,' I say.
'Good.'
'Beside the forensic report.'
His pencil stops.
'You want the complete chain preserved.'
'I want nobody asking which document arrived first.'
The order rests over the bank statements, Patrick's signed returns, and the standing instruction from Gregor's business account. Elena needs the full sequence for the permanent restriction.
I leave it there.
The safest thing in the room is no longer hidden from the people who can use it.
