Five days after the filing.
The committee responded.
The response came to Walker legal at 10am.
Marcus had it in Damian's hands by 10:15.

Not because he couldn't read them in front of other people.
Because some things deserved the specific attention of a room with no one else in it.
He read it slowly.
He read it twice.

The complaint had been accepted for review.
Garrett had been suspended from the Oversight Committee pending investigation.

He set the document down.
He looked at the table.
The library was very quiet.
He had been expecting this.
He had been working toward this.
