CHAPTER FOURTEEN

Another dead end.

Nicky walked into the motel room and heaved out a sigh. Ken was close behind her, but they'd been quiet since they left the Frankstown precinct, where Derek Mills was being detained. Nicky didn't trust the cops there to do their job right, so she'd called in a favor from the FBI--a Hollywood, Florida, detective would be coming to take Derek into his custody, where he'd get the proper treatment that he deserved: a trial and definitely jail time. The recorded confession was more than enough to prove Derek had killed Sarah.

But then there was the question of Meghan.

As far as Nicky could see, there was no connection between Derek and Meghan, and no reason for him to have had anything to do with Meghan's disappearance at all. Nicky was more than happy to get another dirtbag off the streets, but as for her case... it was another dead end.

Nicky slapped a stack of folders on the table in the motel room and sat down, with Ken sitting next to her. She figured their best bet was to go over other recent cases and see if they could find any connection. The folders were neatly organized and had been stacked in order. There was a photograph of a woman and a child inside the first folder. The woman had long, red hair and the child had bright blue eyes. The photograph was taken at a park, and the child was smiling. There was a note attached to the photograph. It said, "My beautiful daughter. I miss her so much."

Another victim. This one, a young mother. Nicky sighed. She'd already reviewed these files. But maybe they'd missed something the first time. Maybe they'd overlooked a potential suspect. Maybe they'd overlooked something that connected Meghan to someone else.

All they had to do was look at the files, and they'd know. The answer was in there. Nicky just needed to find it.

The files were all missing girls’ cases from the last three years. All of them unsolved. Some of them were still being investigated, but so far, nothing had been found.

The first one was a sixteen-year-old who'd gone missing outside of Hollywood, Florida. The second one was a high school student who'd gone missing in the countryside. The third one was an eighteen-year-old who'd disappeared from soccer practice.

Nicky sighed. This was a dead end. Just like everything else. The stuff she'd found out about Derek was irrelevant--it had nothing to do with Meghan.

But that was just it, wasn't it? The cops had screwed up the other case by assuming Meghan Salinger's case was connected to Sarah Mills's, and then they stopped looking into Sarah at all--not realizing that the very person who'd killed her was her own husband. And he wasn't exactly subtle.

It was all dirty police work, and it made Nicky sick. This was part of why she'd joined the FBI. She’d always felt like if she wanted to do something right, she had to do it herself. Rosie’s
