"But Guy works for the professor, right?"

"Right." We all sat wondering where to go next.

"I think we're stuck," Bart finally said.

"We need to find out who drives that white car," I said to Bart. "You think you can take another day off work?"

"You want me to try and track it down?"

"The town's not that big. It's worth a shot."

"He could live in Kings Harbor, though."

I looked at him, not needing the pessimism.

"Okay. Okay. I'll do it."

"Good. Erica, you think you can cozy up to Newt Hancock?"

"Are you kidding? The problem won't be turning him on. It'll be turning him off."

Bart laughed.

"So what do you want me to find out?" Erica asked.

"Whatever you can without being obvious. If he knows the Cathwaites. If he knows Guy. What he was doing up on the ridge. Anything you can think of that will help explain his part in this. But be careful. He absolutely can not know you're grilling him."

"Oh, right. 'Gee, Newt. What nice biceps you have. Get those climbing Rainbow Ridge by any chance?' "

"You'll think of something."

"What are you going to do?" Bart asked.

"Find out everything I can about the good professor. His wife forges the note, his handyman installs surveillance equipment in Lizzie's bar, and he's right there in the thick of things when Tommy gets attacked. Something about the way he offered his shirt that day. I don't know. Maybe he wanted to be close to Tommy, to make sure he wasn't talking."

"Speaking of Tommy, we should call," Erica said. The three of us looked at each other guiltily. For a few minutes, we'd almost forgotten the reason for our investigation. While Bart and Erica called, I taped up more note cards on the chart and stood back, wondering whether the brainstorm session had gotten us any closer to the truth, or if it had led us down the wrong path completely. When they came back into the living room, they were grim-faced.

"No change," Erica said. "Tommy's still in a coma."
