Safe Haven
“She found no one. Nothing turned up on the incorporation papers, either. Yet Drew was certain there was someone. And if not a partner, then who or what?
Visits to some of VolTerre's older projects turned up the kinds of complaints she’d read about. At a hospital, the head custodian showed her cracks around door frames which could have allowed smoke and fire to sweep through the stairwells. All had been skillfully repaired and were inspected on a rotating basis.
"Got to make sure them things don...'t open again," the man said. "These patients got enough trouble." Even worse were the problems existing at a nursing home she checked before ending her search for the day. She heard about plumbing that backed up several times a week, air conditioning that failed if the outside temperature exceeded 85 degrees and wiring inadequate to the job of providing electrical power to a 250-bed facility. Disgusted, she thought she might hire some goons of her own and "sic 'em" on Conlon. Instead, she took a cab back to the house.MoreLess
