Cal switches on the lights and illuminates his extensive collection of old-fashioned books that line the library on mahogany shelves. The one row of windows is walled off by closed shutters.

“I’m sorry.” I say. “I forgot to open the shutters in my courtyard so you could get some light in here.”

Cal walks over to his desk. “That’s okay. It doesn’t matter much at this hour.” He unlocks a drawer with the swipe of his chip-watch and pulls out a large folio. “I didn’t trust these files to be electronic. Not when I was trying to convince Lydia that my intentions were sincere.” Cal hands the bundle over to me. The weight feels heavy in my hands.

I stumble to the green leather couch. “I don’t understand. Wouldn’t Ms. Lydia have known she was being followed? I always know when people are watching me.”

“She wasn’t in the public eye like the rest of you,” says Cal. “Sure, she had her usual Vestal paranoia, but for the most part, she was off the grid. She had no reason to suspect anyone knew who she was or what she looked like. The only two signs that she was a Vestal were her white clothes and platinum cuff. Apparently, most days she’d throw on a brown coat or green jacket to avoid detection. Look,” Cal points to the files, “you’ll see that in the notes.”

I take a deep breath and open the pages, but they only serve to confuse me further. “I don’t get it. This is a bunch of dates and locations.”

“Flip to the back page,” Cal says. “You’ll find the summary.”

My fingers fumble with nerves, until they finally land on the right page.
