The day before, Justice had arranged for Klaus' ailing coworker to see a doctor. The goods were in an unused room one flight up from hers. She retrieved her binder and the script for a video she's donating to her favorite charity, the Red Cross. She found her computer case, empty, and probably three-fifths of her jewelry. She made the time to cancel two credit cards and pay off Sprint, but still hasn't shut off the pager.
Justice cocks an ear and smiles.
