“Is your husband currently in the home?”
“No.”
“Do you know where he is?”
“No.”
“All right.”
There was the sound of typing.
“First, do not empty joint accounts.”
“I wasn’t planning to.”
“Good. Second, download every statement you can access today. Bank accounts, retirement accounts, credit cards, mortgage statements, tax returns.”
“I can do that.”
“Third, if your husband returns, you are not obligated to discuss finances with him immediately.”
I looked toward Eleanor.
She was still sitting at the kitchen table, staring at nothing.
“I canceled some automatic payments.”
“That can be corrected if necessary. For now, preserve records.”
“What about the money he transferred?”
“We need to identify the destination.”
“The account is under something called DCR Consulting Holdings.”
“Do you recognize the company?”
“No.”
Priya paused.
“Do your joint tax returns list business income from that entity?”
“I don’t know.”
“Find the returns.”
I stood.
