This computer never connected to the home Wi-Fi; I used a secure mobile hotspot.

I opened the spreadsheet containing the portfolio for Apex Crest Realty.

My fingers flew across the keyboard.

I looked at the line item for 3200 Oak Lawn Avenue.

It was a sleek, four-story brick office building in the heart of Dallas.

Graham’s logistics firm occupied the top two floors.

His company had signed a ten-year lease five years ago.

The rent was high, but Graham had insisted on the prestigious address to impress his clients.

For the past six months, his payments had been late.

This month, the payment had not arrived at all.

I opened the digital folder containing his lease agreement.

The landlord listed on the document was Oak Lawn Properties LLC, a subsidiary of Apex Crest.

My name was nowhere on the public registry for either company.

To Graham, his landlord was a faceless corporate entity represented by a firm of expensive lawyers.

I printed out the formal notice of lease default.

It was already drafted, awaiting my signature.
