Chapter 15

Normally, Catherine wouldn’t work on a Saturday unless she was under the gun. Well, she was under the gun.

Catherine had spent three hours with her co-chair, Phillip, at the office going over Cameron’s defense with a fine-tooth comb. They were more than ready to present their case on Tuesday. Yesterday, Catherine had a subpoena issued for Derek Dawson to appear in court. She had a feeling he wouldn’t come if she had just asked him. Since he was subpoenaed, he would have no choice but to show up for court. If not, a warrant would be issued for his arrest.
