She drew a cigarette out from the pack on her desk. She shot him a look that he translated as: don't tell me it's illegal to smoke on premises. I break this rule all the time. Screw the rules.

Trey reached across Dr. Elise Conroy's desk to steady her hand as she finally lit her cigarette.

Elise Conroy took a drag off her cigarette. “They’ve already had police on this. The FBI is stepping in. I know they won’t find him. At least not in time. They threw me off — told me to go home and get some rest. God damn it. My damn babysitter didn't even know it happened.” She brought her hand over her eyes to hide the tears. She let out a string of curses as she pressed the palms of her hands against her eyes.

"Could he just be missing?"

At first she didn't respond. Then, she looked up at him as if seeing him for the first time. "You know Scoleri."

Trey nodded.

"Fallon came to me this morning. He said it was urgent. He said that Scoleri had told him that something terrible would happen to me today. I asked him what. All he would tell me was that Scoleri told him something terrible and that it had to do with Lucas. That Fallon even knew my son's name was something. He may have seen his picture, but he wouldn't know his name. Maybe he overheard it. I don't know. I don't care. I went to see Scoleri, because I thought someone here must have mentioned it to him. Dr. Brainard, perhaps. Someone who had heard when I heard. Scoleri told me, point blank, something that I can't get out of my head."

"He knows the killer?"

"No. He told me that I should've just taken Lucas to the beach this morning."

"Why?"

"Trey," she said, her voice hard as if she had come to the most difficult decision of her life. "Because that is what I was supposed to do. I was supposed to take Lucas to the beach today. I came here to pick up some papers. Between the time I left home, and the thirty minutes I was here, Lucas..." She paused. "I wanted to take a few days off at the start of Lucas's Christmas break. We hadn't spent enough time together. This damn job. Other things. I could consult on the Red Angel case just a few hours a day, and then be home for the rest. And Scoleri knew. He told me that he gets messages from the man who took my son. And then he told me that the beach would have been awful today, anyway, what with the rain."

"Okay," Trey said, his mind crackling with ideas that came at him too quickly. "Scoleri has some contact. We don't know who. Let's find out."
