“Michael asks. “You look like you’re going to faint.”“My aunt Ann paid Nathan Malik’s bail.”He shakes his head in disbelief.“She must be a patient of Malik’s. That’s how Malik knows so much about me and my family.”Michael’s eyes are bright with excitement. “If your aunt is a patient of Malik’s, he’s almost certainly treating her for sexual abuse. That means your grandfather is the one who molested you.”“Not necessarily. Malik also treats people for bipolar disorder.”“Exclusively? Or bipolar peop...le who’ve also been sexually abused?”“Exclusively, I think. Bipolarity, PTSD, and sexual abuse. Separate categories. May I use your phone?”“Sure. Did your cell phone die?”“No, but I don’t want the FBI to hear this call.”Michael looks at me for several seconds in silence. “Are you calling Malik?”“I’m going to leave him a message, yes. Are you okay with that?”He goes out into the hall and brings back a cordless phone. “As long as you don’t do anything to risk your life.”Even as I nod, I decide to tell Michael nothing about Margaret Lavigne’s suicide attempt or her note.MoreLessRead More Read Less
