A court clerk walked up to her. “Ms. Andrews,” she said, “As a United States citizen, will you need to call someone in the US?”

“If you need someone, my barrister should be able to help.” Billy said.

“Thanks,” Cam whispered.

Neil stood up and was taken from the room.

“Andrews?”

Cam got to her feet and went over to sit next to the phone. She dialed Jean-René’s number. After several rings, his secretary answered.

“May I speak with Senior Sergeant Gauchet, s’il vous plais?”

“I’m sorry,” the secretary answered. “He’s out of the office. Would you like to leave a message?”

“Yes, please,” Cam answered.

“I’ll forward you to his answering machine. Hold on a moment.”

The secretary switched her call to Jean-René’s line. After the obligatory introduction, Cam heard a beep.
