    “ I suppose. So we need to move quickly before the bastard croaks and there is nothing we can do . ”
     
    She was silent during the almost five hour flight to the JFK Airport. After checking into a nearby hotel, they made plans to meet the flowing morning to go see Marcy, since it was after nine at night.
     
    As she showered and ordered room service she thought of Koltan and whether or not h e’ d returned. She was tempted to call, but restrained herself. She told herself that it made no sense getting all worked up since their relationship was basically over.
     
    Most prominent on her mind, however, was Harmon Grey. How he secretly hid his illness and resigned without letting anyone know. If Harmon happened to die before she could confront him, she could still clear her fathe r’ s name, but she wanted Harmon to be the one to admit what he did.
     
    The following morning they went in search of Marcy Hendricks with the hope that she would cooperate. They found the address without trouble. The apartment was a tiny studio in Brooklyn. The woman at the door was blond with brown eyes.
     
    “ Yes ?” she looked at Victoria and Eli, then she did a double take at Eli and the blood seem to drain from her face.
     
    “ Hi Marcy ,” he greeted .“ This is Victoria Fischer . ”
     
    “ Actually, i t’ s Brennan. I now use my mothe r’ s maiden name. How are you ? ”
     
    “ It was n’ t my fault, you have to believe me ,” the woman cried.
     
    “ Marcy let us in and le t’ s talk ,” Eli pleaded.
     
    She told them she was an actress and at the time she was pretty young and desperate. She knew there was nothing wrong with the product because sh e’ d used it for months.
     
    “ What I did was wrong, but I needed the money ,” Marcy declared.
     
    “ So you signed a non-disclosure agreement and collected the money he promised? Eli, can he sue her if she tells the truth ?” She turned to Eli.
     
    “ The document might be illegal, you may want to talk to a lawyer about that ,” he replied.
     
    “ Marcy, would you be able to tell the truth if we can void the contract you signed with Harmon? By the way, do you have proof that Harmon asked you to lie ? ”
     
    “ No, I’ m sorry ,” the women sadly replied .“ All I have is my word and I’ m willing to come clean. What that man did was evil. I will tell the truth . ”
     
    Victoria felt relief that at least one person was willing to come clean. If she could only find the others who Harmon paid to lie about the painkiller, she would be happier. The reporter who leaked the story to the press was also vital in this because he too was paid to make sure the information got out.
     
    When they got back to the hotel she saw that there were messages left for her from the office. One was from Beth and another from Koltan. She ignored Kolta n’ s message and return Bet h’ s call.
     
    “ Beth, wha t’ s the emergency ? ”
     
    “ The boss is back and he is n’ t too happy yo u’ re gone ,” she replied.
     
    “ Beth, tha t’ s not an emergency. I’ ll see you in the morning . ”
     
    “ Wait, something happened, I think you should know ,” Bet h’ s voice sounded serious.
     
    “ What ? ”
     
    “ Some reporter was found dead in his apartment. I t’ s not looking good for the company Victoria . ”
     
    “ Beth, what are you talking about ? ”
     
    “ The guy left a suicide note and a diary claiming that he leaked information to the newspapers some years ago that caused the company to lose millions of dollars . ”
     
    The blood drained from Victori a’ s face and she gripped the receiver tightly, her knuckles also going white .“ Was his name Thomas Brown ?” her voice became tight from the constriction in her throat.
     
    “ How did you know ,” asked Beth.
     
    “ I heard about it. You said he killed himself ? ”
     
    “ Yes, I thought I’ d let you know . ”
     
    They ended the conversation, assuring her
