The third and final page with writing has only two sentences, writ achingly small.

Elizabeth snaps photos of each page with her cell phone, never once taking her eyes off the drawing. She e-mails the pictures to Allison with a subject heading of a few more pages from Tommy and call me in the morning in the body of the message. The morning before, when Allison was at the house, Elizabeth thanked her for her hard work, support, and compassion. A day and night of madness later, she is angry at the detective who she now decides is emotionally detached to the point of being indifferent, is not forthcoming with information and leads, and is not leading the investigation with any kind of urgency or efficiency. That all of this is still happening and nothing has been solved is proof of the town’s cruel ineptitude. Nice people she’s known most of her adult professional life but clearly not up to the task before them.

The sent e-mail woosh sounds from her phone, and it’s as though she has banished the photos to a vast nothingness.

Elizabeth then e-mails her photo of the page with the sketch to Dave Islander, the local weekly editor, along with a brief explanation about how it came from Tommy’s diary. She wonders if he’ll publish it, and she hopes that having as many people view the sketch as possible will somehow dilute its awfulness.
