The meeting with Alfred had created a treasure trove of possibilities and Cindy wanted to explore each one of them. The moment she returned to her room she put in a call to Margaret Day and left a message.

“This is Cindy Blaine of C and M Investigations, calling from St. Lucia right now,” Cindy said. “I need to talk to you as soon as possible about the disappearance of Kara Flynn. Thank you.” Then she left her number.

Was it truly possible that they were hiding Kara? If they were, Cindy would probably never get a return call. She wanted to call Mattheus immediately and tell him about what Alfred had said, sort out viable leads from fantasies. But she refrained. Mattheus obviously didn’t like Alfred, and from his point of view, most of what Alfred had to say would be considered fantasy. But even though there was scanty evidence to back up what he said, Cindy found Alfred fascinating, She couldn’t help but wonder, though, why Mattheus himself wasn’t investigating more aggressively. Cindy finally decided that he was truly convinced that Kara had drowned, didn’t see any indication of foul play. That was probably because Mattheus was too close to Rod, had lost objectivity on the case without realizing it.

As Cindy sat there musing, her phone rang. She reached for it immediately.

“Cindy, this is Margaret Day,” a woman said on the other end.

“Thank you so much for getting back to me so quickly,” said Cindy. “I appreciate it.”

“We’re absolutely stunned to hear about Kara’s disappearance,” Margaret replied.

Cindy was relieved that Margaret acknowledged that Kara was gone. “When did you hear the news?” she asked.

“Very recently,” said Margaret. “The story’s going around town like wildfire now.”

Cindy decided to jump right in. “We heard that there was some possibility that Kara may be at the shelter,” she started.

“I beg your pardon?” Margaret Day sounded truly startled.

“Are these rumors only?” asked Cindy.

“As far as we know Kara was on her honeymoon in St. Lucia,” Margaret responded icily. “Who told you she was here?”

“A private source,” said Cindy.

“That’s ridiculous,” Margaret emphasized, “though I definitely do wish it were true.”

“You realize that hiding her when the police are searching would be considered obstructing an investigation?” Cindy said.

Margaret’s stony silence deepened. “Of course I realize that,” she said. Despite her coldness Cindy felt Margaret’s worry.

“Did Kara ever say anything that made you suspicious about her life or relationships? Did she ever give you any hint that she might be in danger?” Cindy wanted as much information as this woman was able to give her.

“Nothing at all, not ever,” breathed Margaret. “Kara seemed completely happy and well adjusted. And I never heard one negative thing about her fiancé.”

“Have you met Rowley?” Cindy wanted to push it.

“No, I have not. Our place is kept under cover. We don’t welcome family or friends of our employees. There’s top security everywhere.”

“Kara did a good job? You were pleased with her?” Cindy continued.

“Kara’s a model counselor here. Everyone loves her, she goes to any length she can to help.
