Chapter 18: The Leak
I called Hudson from the landing with Adalyn's footsteps still going down the stairs.
"He has the eleven," I said. "All of them."
There was a long silence on the line.
"I'm at the studio in twenty minutes," he said. "Don't come. I'll call you."
He called me in an hour and a half.
I'd made Emmylou drive me there anyway, and I was sitting on the basement steps outside Studio B when the phone rang in my hand.
He opened the door before I could answer it.
He looked utterly wrecked, shaken to the bone.
"Come in," he said. "I want you to see it, not hear it from me."
The server log was up on the big screen.
Rows of gray text.
He pointed at one line.
April 17. 4:37 a.m. User: H. Hartsell. Shared link created. Folder: COWAN_0417.
"I didn't make that," he said.
"Four thirty-seven."
"We were on the loading dock," he said. "You remember."
I remembered the cool air and not touching him.
"So whoever made it knew the room was empty."
"I left the session open," Hudson said. "Under my login. With the folder right there on the screen."
