"It's not a demand, it's a claim for damages!" Byron Shaw corrected her. "Hayley Sullivan and Jared Thorne conspired to lock you in your room, which led to you jumping from the window, suffering multiple injuries and a fractured leg.

He glanced down at the screen. "Excuse me, I'm going to take this call outside."
