Chapter 72:
Solomon came at nine in the morning.
He looked like he hadn't slept. His eyes were red. His shirt was wrinkled. He had a folder under his arm and a cup of coffee in his hand and a face like a man who'd been fighting a losing battle all night.
"The release is real," he said. "I've been on the phone with Vance's clerk since midnight. The warrant had a procedural error. A clerk typed the date wrong. Silas's lawyer caught it."
"That's it?" Kael said. "A typo?"
"A typo. The judge has to release him. She has no choice. She's furious about it, but she has no choice."
"So he walks."
"He walks. Tomorrow morning at nine. But—" Solomon held up the folder. "Vance is issuing a new warrant. She's doing it herself. She's been up all night drafting it. It'll be ready by noon tomorrow."
