Tim White sat in his office at the Tribune, glaring at Elizabeth. “Is she just not talking?” “No. She gave me the interview.” Tim was talking about Robin Platt, the woman who’d accused Bruce of attempted rape. Like all media outlets, the Tribune wasn’t releasing the woman’s real name. Around the newsroom, she was simply known as “Jane Doe.” “Then I don’t understand. What’s the problem here?” “I can’t write it, Tim. There’s no way I would do that to Bruce. Never. Even if I were a hundred percent sure, I could never be part of that betrayal. It was hubris that involved me from the beginning. I thought I was going to save him, but I didn’t. I only made it worse.” It was one thing to help the girl, and she had, but writing a story that pronounced to the world that Bruce was a rapist, guilty or not, would never come from Elizabeth. Tim sighed and put his head in his hands. “Elizabeth, you’re a journalist. You’re not supposed to take sides, and you write the story, no matter what.”
