After several hours of continued staring at the equations, Zoe was still no closer to figuring it all out than she had been the first moment they were handed the case. No matter how she looked at them, she couldn’t figure out how they worked or even why they were broken. And worse: the more she looked, the less convinced she was that it really was a coincidence. Those last lines made a perfect copy of Dr. Applewhite’s theory.

That kind of thing didn’t happen by accident.

Shelley’s cell rang, and the two of them snapped to attention. They looked at it for a second, buzzing on the ledge in front of them, before Shelley grabbed it and answered.

“Hello, Anjali? Yes… Right. And you’re absolutely sure? Okay, thank you. Yes, I do owe you one. Well, all right, two. Thanks again.”

Shelley finished the call and put her cell down, biting her lip. She hadn’t taken her eyes off it yet, or looked up any higher than Zoe’s knee since she had answered it.

Zoe, who had observed that Shelley spent around seventy-five percent of her time looking at people’s faces, and perhaps thirty percent looking someone directly in the eye, considered this to be a very bad sign indeed.

Shelley’s face was pale when she did look up, and then she had to glance away again before she spoke. “The DNA is a match.”

Zoe waited for a moment for the punchline or an explanation. When Shelley didn’t say anything else, she had to follow up with a prompt. “A match for what?”

“For Dr. Applewhite. The hairs are hers.”

There was no response in Zoe’s head. Only silence. She sat there looking at Shelley, the words ringing hollow in the room around them, nothing but utter disbelief bouncing back.
