Lyra was in the middle of attending to a patient when a knock interrupted her. The door eased open, an officer peering inside.
"Close the door and wait until I'm done," she ordered, her voice firm, tinged with irritation as she noticed their eyes scrutinizing her.
The door shut again, just as she had directed.
Once the patient left the room, the door was knocked on again.
"Dr. Ashford…" the nurse called.
"Come in," she ordered. The door swung fully open, murmurs trailing in from outside the room.
The nurse stepped inside, worry etched across her face, the two officers close behind.
Lyra faced them. "What's this about?"
One of the officers moved past the nurse and held up a warrant.
"We have instructions from our superiors to detain you for further investigation."
He raised the document higher, and Lyra took it with both hands.
She read it with a frown. The warrant concerned the funds Dante had suddenly withdrawn, and she found herself wondering who had reported her.
