Chapter 5: The Injunction

"How do you know about tab four?" I asked.

Nathaniel turned my phone around in my hand.

Under the link, my friend from the lab had typed: She's lying. You warned her in tab four. I read it myself. Don't come back for your stuff, they're watching the badge reader.

"That's all," he said. "I read what you read."

He sounded calm, and I let it go.

We landed in New York at noon, and the car took us straight to the Rhodes Maison tower on Park Avenue.

The lobby was white marble with a wall of dark glass behind the desk.

Three men in gray suits stood in the middle of it with envelopes.

"Claire Winslow?" the tallest asked.

"Yes."

He put an envelope in my hand.

"Langley Skin has filed for an emergency injunction. You are ordered to stop using, copying or disclosing any formula, document or notebook belonging to our client."

Behind the desk, a dozen Rhodes employees stopped typing.

Two people lifted their phones.

I read the first page.

I read the second page.

"Is this all of it?" I asked.

"There's a hearing Thursday," the man said. "I'd advise you to retain counsel."

"I have counsel. She's on her way down."

My lawyer stepped out of the elevator with a leather folder under her arm.

She did not hurry.

"Good afternoon," she told the three men. "I represent the Winslow Family Trust. Which of you is Mr. Langley's attorney of record?"
