“What’s that paper you’ve got there, Claire?” Wayne asked, his gravelly voice tight.

“The original work order for the utility changes at 1427 Maplewood Drive,” Claire said.

She laid the white sheet flat on the blotter next to her brass clock.

“Who signed off on putting secondary phone hardware inside the Maplewood house?” Wayne asked, leaning down to read the top line.

“Look at who signed it at the bottom,” Claire said.

The document was dated August fourteenth of the year before and listed an order for an internal line bypass and a manual junction isolation switch.

Under the typed specifications, in heavy blue ink, was Thomas Miller’s signature.
