IN CAMBRIDGE, AT THE MUFFIN Top Bakery and Cyber-Cafe with its red-and-white awnings and white metal ice cream tables, Gray plunked down five dollars for an hour’s worth of computer time. He insisted on adding a couple of carrot muffin tops and coffees to their order so they would fit in with the patronage. As soon as he’d picked a table, Abbie latched on to the computer bolted to the table and navigated the Web to her anonymous accounts.

“There it is,” she said triumphantly. She’d had to check three separate locations. Bryn had suggested that multiple addresses would give her more freedom to connect. This anonymous way to talk to her friend had proved her salvation. Abbie didn’t know how she would have survived the year of isolation without this fleeting contact with Bryn. “There’s a file attached.”

She clicked open the file and scrolled down, trying to make sense of all the information Bryn had collected. Gray flopped an arm around the back of her chair as if they had all the time in the world, which served only to make Abbie nervous. The more relaxed he looked, the more tension strung his body.

“What’s wrong?”

He shrugged. “A bad feeling.”

“Let me download the file so we can look at it later.” She pulled on a chain hanging around her neck. A flash drive dangled from the chain. She tugged on the flat, finger-size disk and connected it to a port.

“Where did you get that?”

“Bryn. She showed me how to transfer my digital photos onto it.” Bryn was also the one who’d encouraged her to try digital photography. If she hadn’t, then Abbie wouldn’t have caught Rafe’s murderous deed in action. And the police would never have believed that her father hadn’t killed himself. Rafe had planned his clean up too well.

“The pictures you took of your father are on there?” Gray pointed at the stick she’d furiously guarded through the past year of mayhem.

This was what Rafe wanted to murder her for.

She gulped and nodded.

“Is there a copy?”

“The police have one and so does Bryn.”

Gray’s face took on a pensive look. Behind his mirrored lenses, his eyes were once more unreadable. “Her office was tossed. It’s probably gone. And if Rafe has the locals in his pocket, it wouldn’t surprise me if that particular bit of evidence vanished.” He tapped a finger against the table. “Make sure the files don’t mix.”

She dragged the file to the flash-drive icon and checked that the green light was on, signifying active transfer. Bryn had explained to her that in court the original photo file could prove crucial. “I’m not completely helpless.”

“Never said you were.” Gray squeezed a warning on her thigh, and a moment later a woman wearing light gray yoga pants and a purple T-shirt that said Breathe stopped at their table.

“Excuse me.” The woman’s mass of red curls was caught in a stubby ponytail high on her skull. A black tote bag dangled from her shoulder. “Abrielle? Abrielle Holbrook? Sue. Sue Collins. You took my daughter’s picture two years ago.
