“Rachel, it’s Marcus Vance,” my lawyer said over a clear line.

“I just walked out of the court clerk’s office in Pontiac.”

“He set the final child protection evidentiary hearing for nine o’clock sharp Monday morning in Oakland County Courthouse, Room 3B.”

“Has Vanessa’s lawyer been told?” I asked.

“Attorney Cross got the formal hearing notice an hour ago,” Marcus said.
