“Your husband is the one who filed the report, Captain,” Vance said quietly.
The metal table seemed to tilt beneath my hands.
“What?” I asked.
“The anonymous tip wasn’t entirely anonymous,” Vance said.
“The IP address of the sender matches your husband’s personal phone.”

“I have served honorably for ten years.”
“Why would I sell secrets from my own living room?”
