When the alarm went off Monday morning, Jade woke up to a cold, empty bed. Harley had been there when she’d fallen asleep, but judging by the feel of the mattress beside her, he’d been awake for a while. She pulled on her robe and stumbled down the hallway to search for him.

Harley was sitting at the kitchen table, staring down at his coffee mug as though the answers to all the questions of the universe would be in there. Jade watched him curiously as she walked past him, poured her own cup of coffee and then sat at the kitchen table across from him.

“What’s wrong?” she asked, skipping the morning pleasantries. He wasn’t in the mood, judging by the look on his face. “Did you get any sleep?”

“Not really. I have too much to think about.”

Jade understood that. When things were at their worst with Lance, she’d almost gone crazy from sleep deprivation. Every time her head touched the pillow, her brain would start spinning with worries that wouldn’t let her drift off.

She hoped Harley’s worries weren’t about the two of them. They’d developed a comfortable, uncomplicated rhythm the last few days and had always ended up in each other’s arms. She didn’t want either of them overthinking that. “Hit a snag in the investigation?” she asked.

Harley looked up at her and frowned. He had been fairly close-lipped about his research so far. Jade tried to be understanding about it, but it was hard knowing he had information that might impact her life. She supposed that if it really mattered, he would tell her. There wasn’t much use in telling her things before he was certain. Still, it was weird that he was going out to track down the truth about what happened to her, then coming home and engaging in idle chatter about the weather.

“You could say that,” he said at last. “I’ve hit a roadblock I wasn’t expecting.”

“You’ve only just started. How can that be?”

“People are stubborn,” Harley explained. “I’ve spent the entire weekend meeting with various people who might have information about what happened.”

“Like who?”

“Like the couples who had daughters at St. Francis around the same time as the Nolans. Hospital staff. Anyone I can get to answer my calls, really.”

Jade swallowed hard, the coffee burning in her throat. One of the people he’d spoken to could be one of her parents. It was hard to believe, but true. “Oh,” was all she could manage to say. “Any luck?”

The lines in his forehead convinced her that he was conflicted about what he’d found. “Yes and no. Have you ever heard of Steele Tools?”

Jade shrugged. “Yeah. I think I have a set of their screwdrivers. Why?”

“My team has been doing a little research on them. They’re a fascinating success story that started here in Charleston, actually.”

He continued talking about what he’d learned so far, but Jade wasn’t really listening. While the history of Steele Tools might seem fascinating to Harley, she wasn’t sure why she should care.
