Wordle #1093 – GRIND
“I do have proof! Bree admitted to the whole affair when she confessed everything to me, and I recorded it on my phone.”
“I thought you said the audio quality was too poor to make out anything.” Aparna sounds doubtful, yet she leans forward in her seat.
“Well, yeah, I did say that…” I admit sheepishly. “But bits of it might be usable? Maybe?”
Much to my surprise, Aparna seems to actually be thinking it over. She furrows her brow, grinds her teeth together, then comes to a decision.
“Like I said before, that recording is completely inadmissible in court. But I suppose there’s not much harm in reviewing it,” Aparna concedes. “I’ll put a paralegal on it.”
“You will? Thanks, Aparna.”
She only sniffs in response and jots down a note.
Not that I don’t trust the paralegal to do their job, but I decide I’ll review the audio again myself. The file had been uploaded to cloud storage before my phone was taken, so I still have access to it, luckily.
It’ll probably come to nothing, but having a plan of action at least makes me feel a little brighter.
Aparna, on the other hand, looks as dour as ever. Maybe even more so.
