That contractor, according to the documents Natalie had obtained, was called HarborPoint Language Solutions.
The name meant nothing to me.
Until Natalie called Friday morning.
“Renata, HarborPoint’s business registration lists a man named Lawrence Rourke.”
I went completely still.
“Rourke?”
“Yes.”
Celia’s maiden name.
And Lawrence was her brother.
The hospital had paid HarborPoint for interpretation coverage, including sessions falsely attributed to employees like me.
I thought about Celia’s expensive clothes.
Her sudden interest in departmental budgets.
Her insistence that I sign the correction statement.
Now I understood why she wanted my signature so badly.
She wasn’t fixing a mistake.
She was trying to give investigators someone else to blame.
The following Monday, Natalie received preliminary audit information through the hospital’s legal department.
The disputed Halloween certification hadn’t originated from my employee account.
It had been entered using a supervisory override.
Someone with administrative authority had supplied my name.
