It’s tedious work, but after a few hours I have some solid leads that include websites for tattoo artists and parlors, social media accounts, and blogs. Vera was number sixteen. According to the photo Marie posted, she’ll be number fifty-three. If Marie’s sudden social media blackout is anything to go on, Javier learned to clamp down on his prospects’ Internet usage. But he wasn’t as careful early on. I found four tattoos with numbers lower than Vera’s—two, seven, eleven, and fourteen. I figure he got better as he went along. If there are going to be any clues about this asshole, the early girls will likely be the ones to give them to me.

I try not to think about what happened and what is happening to these girls who are now women. I need to focus and think logically. Flying around in a blind rage punching walls won’t help them and it won’t help me find Marie. But I can’t stop thinking of Vera and what she went through. It’s why we’re looking for her sister. It’s time to have a much more detailed conversation with Vera and ask her some difficult questions. As one of the early girls, she might have useful information and not even realize it.

It’s also time to share what’s going on with Cora. I need help. There’s no one I trust more in this world than Cora. Once she knows the whole story, I know she’ll fight as hard for Marie as she did for me. I have to tell Vera my plan. It’s her story too. I send her a text, laying out some of the work I’ve done and asking her permission to confide in Cora. She doesn’t respond right away like she usually does. I don’t have to tell her time is kicking our ass and that we’re working against an unknown countdown clock. She knows all of this. It was difficult for her to share her story with me. It’s going to be torture to share it with Cora.
