I took out my phone.

First, I called the police records unit and requested information on how to obtain the crash report because the vehicle was titled through our marital holding company and insured under a policy on which I was listed.

Then I called Gavin Shaw.

Gavin was a licensed investigator I had used professionally for years.

“I need a public-record background review on a woman who may be connected to Alistair.”

“What woman?”
