Chapter 9 - THE FACILITY THAT BILLED A GHOST

Michael released a statement saying Emily suffered from “serious but private health issues.”
She read it once.

“My name is Emily Collins Harrington. I am safe. I am receiving independent medical care. I am not authorizing anyone, including my husband, to describe my mental health publicly. I have filed for divorce.”

Black SUV.
Partial plate.
Registered to Civic Shield Foundation.

And the driver?
Dr. Martin Keller.
