- The envelope is made of thick kraft paper.
- As I search for my letter opener, I ponder over the list of possible senders.
- But I just can't figure out who would send me a letter right now.
- You: Surely it's not a bomb? I'm just a nobody.
- I carefully cut the envelope open.
- You: What?! Could this be...? But, how?
- I flip open the notebook. Inside, there are detailed notes on all the missing girls, and the carefully penned results of Taylor's investigations of every case.
- There are also testimonies from several parties and eyewitnesses, as well as their home addresses in here. I bet these have only been read by a privileged few.
- You: Are these really Taylor's records? And who sent them to me?
- I pace back and forth in the room, in equal parts excited and nervous. A slip of paper falls out of the envelope.
- You are in luck.
- I look at the notebook, then back at the message on the piece of paper.
- You: Wilson! He must be the sender!
- Filled with mixed emotions, I grip the worn notebook tightly.
- To think I was exasperated by his unhelpful attitude earlier...
- You: If he wanted to help, I wonder why he didn't pass this to me in a more secure manner.
- You: It could have gotten lost in the mail!
- Bob Wilson: You should go.
- You: What... What do you mean?
- Bob Wilson: Few people are as stubborn as you are. Maybe you can find the truth, if you're lucky.
- Bob Wilson: But this has nothing to do with me. I don't have the records, and I can't help you.
- Bob Wilson: Please leave. I have work to do.
- I think of his behaviour and the message on the slip of paper.
- You: Maybe he was hoping it would get lost instead of reaching me?
- You: Hence I am "in luck" if I do receive it!
- The thought unsettles me.
- A small mishap was all it would have taken to lose these records forever.
- You: But I'm ecstatic I have the genuine records now!
- You: I guess I can finally sleep soundly tonight.
- Feeling hopeful for the trial, I drift into a peaceful slumber with the notebook tucked in my arms.
- You: Ah, I slept very well last night.
- Now that I finally have the evidence I need, both my mood and my sleep have improved greatly.
- You: With these records in hand, we are more likely to get a favourable outcome at the trial.
- You: The trial is a few days away. What can I do in the meantime?
- As I go over past events in my mind, I realise that only a handful of people have helped me.
- ...And I believe I know why Taylor's file went missing in the first place.
- You: These records must have info related to the Mafia. I'm sure Prosecutor Boseman will be keen to look through them.
- You: If I share this evidence with her, maybe she can give me some new insights.
- You: And she might be able to help me by giving me even more evidence...
- You: Let me change out of these clothes before I contact Prosecutor Boseman.
- With these thoughts in mind, I call Prosecutor Boseman.
- When I tell her I have new leads, she promptly agrees to meet me.
- I pack up Taylor's records and hurry to Prosecutor Boseman's office.
- Diane Boseman: I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, Miss Colvin. It's a busy day at the office.
- You: It's no problem at all. Thank you for seeing me on such short notice.
- Diane Boseman: You said you have something important to tell me. What is it?
- You: Well, actually...I, uhm...
- Diane Boseman: Don't worry about anything, Miss Colvin. Just tell me.
- You: Prosecutor Boseman, You know I'm being sued by Councilman Harris, right?
- Diane Boseman: Of course. That incident has caused quite the commotion.
- Diane Boseman: I have to say, it is rather inappropriate to publish that article without conclusive evidence.
- You: With his election coming soon, we felt we had to make our move.
- Diane Boseman: So you are certain that Councilman Harris is involved in the disappearances of these girls?
- You: There wasn't enough hard evidence, but all the clues we found point to him.
- Diane Boseman: And now you need my help? Does it have something to do with the trial?
- You: Yes, I need your help to gather more evidence.
- Diane Boseman: So, the evidence you had previously... Was it of any help?
- You: No, we lost it on the day of the trial...
- Diane Boseman: I see. That's a pity.
- Diane Boseman: That file was hard to come by. I'm not sure what else I can do for you...
- You: (It looks like she's in a difficult position...)
- You: Actually, Prosecutor Boseman, I've just found a piece of important evidence.
- Diane Boseman: Oh? What is it?
- You: I have with me Taylor's records of the cases he worked on.
- Diane Boseman: May I have a look at them?
- You: Certainly! It's why I wanted to see you today.
- I hand the notebook over.
- Diane reads through the records carefully, frowning deeper after each page.
- There aren't many pages, but she's taking a long time to peruse them.
- I wait with bated breath, until...
- Diane Boseman: Mind if I make a copy of these records?
- You: Not at all!
- Prosecutor Boseman somberly passes a copy of the records to her secretary with a few simple instructions.
- The secretary leaves the room with the papers. Prosecutor Boseman motions for me to stay.
- I wonder what's going on. Is she checking the legitimacy of the records?
- Two hours pass by...
- Secretary: Miss Boseman, the results are back.
- Her secretary enters the office and places some documents on the table.
- They speak briefly before the secretary turns to leave the room.
- Diane Boseman: Miss Colvin, we are able to corroborate some of the details stated in the records, but...
- Diane Boseman: ...not all of it. There is nothing to support the rest of the information.
- You: I understand. The records are of old cases after all...
- Diane Boseman: Submitting this as evidence for the trial is risky.
- You: It's fine. Let's just say I'm feeling lucky.
- Diane Boseman: I see you are determined, Miss Colvin.
- If Boseman doesn't trust you
- Diane Boseman: But this is out of my hands.
- You: Isn't there any other way...?
- Diane Boseman: I wish I could help, I really do. But there's nothing more I can do to help you.
- Diane Boseman: Even if I were to amass new evidence, it would take an incredibly long time.
- You: Alright, I understand.
- I feel terribly disappointed, but there isn't anything I can do.
- Diane Boseman: Don't give up. The records are still an important discovery. You can still win the case at trial.
- You: Thank you, Prosecutor Boseman, for everything.
- Diane Boseman: You're welcome. The trial is just a few days away. I wish you the best of luck.
- I leave Prosecutor Boseman's office, disappointed by the fruitless outcome.
- But at least I still have Taylor's notebook. It's no slam dunk case, but...I still believe...all will be well.
- If Boseman trusts you
- Diane Boseman: I won't interfere with what you want to do. But I do have something that might help.
- You: These audio reels are...
- Diane Boseman: These are secret recordings of Juliano's phone calls for the past year.
- Diane Boseman: They should be useful to you.
- You: (Prosecutor Boseman has been monitoring Juliano's phone calls for an entire year?)
- You: But if I show this in the trial, people will know you have been tracking his calls.
- You: I can't put your plans in jeopardy because of me...
- Diane Boseman: There's no need to blame yourself. I trust you will use this evidence for good.
- Diane Boseman: Besides, I stand to benefit if you win the case.
- You: Alright then. Thank you for providing them to me.
- Diane Boseman: You are welcome. I hope the court rules in your favour.
- You: Thank you. I am confident that it will.
- I take the two vital pieces of evidence and leave Prosecutor Boseman's office.
- My future is uncertain, but I am now brimming with confidence.
