Chapter Thirteen

“Albert Corales, Reginald Chapman, Calvin Chapman, Gregory Thorson, Arnold Taggert, and Edith Wandleigh.”

She couldn’t believe her Uncle Reginald had never showed her this photo album.

Unease crept into her mind and took up residence.

“Edith Wandleigh,” Kiley said again. The woman appeared familiar. It took a few moments but she finally recognized Edith Wandleigh for who she was today. Edith Taggert of Taggert Security Team.

She knew Mrs. Taggert had been acquainted with her uncle for a long time, but not that long. Very curious.

Now that she thought of it, this album reminded her of another indisputable fact.

Her parents hadn’t owned many photo albums. In fact, they hadn’t possessed a single photo dated before her birth. She’d always thought it was bizarre, but as a child she worshipped her parents with that single-minded regard that refuses to find fault in their actions. As an adult, she questioned many decisions they’d made…and now…well, she considered it downright weird they hadn’t kept photos before 1976, the year Kiley was born.

The door creaked open, and Uncle Reggie stood on the threshold, his expression mirroring surprise and curiosity. He was dressed in chinos and short-sleeved shirt. She knew his casual appearance was deceptive. Uncle Reggie never relaxed.

“You’re up early,” Kiley said.

He took a tentative step, as if venturing into a jungle where peril lurked. “What are you doing?”

As he advanced into the room, she knew it would do little good to hide her discovery. His face grew wary, then worried as he saw what she had in her hands.

Her uncle reached down and snatched the album from her. “Where did you get this?”

Stung by his action, Kiley glared at him. She pointed to the shelf. “Over there.”

He held the volume to his chest, clutching it like a child reluctant to share a favorite toy. “You shouldn’t be in here.”

She watched him carefully, her curiosity boiling. “You never said your library is off limits.”

“You shouldn’t be looking at this.”

She stood and placed her hands on her hips. “Why?”

“It’s nothing.”

“It can’t be nothing or you wouldn’t have a problem with me looking at it. You never do anything without a reason, Uncle.”

He glowered back then started toward the shelf where the album belonged. Kiley grabbed his arm. “Why is it so important to hide these photographs? It’s not like I don’t know that you and Mr. and Mrs. Taggert were friends, or that my father knew them as well. What’s the big deal?”

His eyebrows twitched, his eyes clouding with something like anger and hurt combined. “It’s very personal. There are things you don’t need to know. Shouldn’t know.”

A tickling sensation, like someone brushed her skin with a feather, rippled up Kiley’s spine. “Does it have something to do with Thorson?”

He nodded. “Thorson. And others.”

“Stop being enigmatic and spill it. Some of the photos are over thirty years old.

What could possibly be in them that would harm me?” When he didn’t respond she sighed, trying to calm the vibration of her heart. “Maybe you’re not worried how the pictures will affect me.
