“I need Rachel.”
Part Four — Twenty Million Dollars Wasn’t What Daniel Wanted
Rachel Sloan arrived three hours later.
She had represented Grandpa Arthur for twelve years and had the emotional range of a federal tax form.
That afternoon, I had never been happier to see anyone.
I told her everything.
When I finished, she became very still.
“You said Lawson Strategic Solutions has cash-flow problems?”
“Yes.”
“How serious?”
“I don’t know.”
Rachel opened her laptop.
“Then I think I do.”
She pulled up documents from the trust review.
“There were two unusual credit inquiries connected to your identity over the last six weeks.”
I stared at her.
“What?”
“We originally assumed they were routine because neither resulted in access to the trust.”
“What kind of inquiries?”
“One was from a private lender.”
Rachel turned the screen.
The application listed Daniel’s company.
