Chapter 10

Daniel listened to one side of the conversation between Clara and Mrs. DeSanchos. It was mostly, “Uh-huh,” and, “I see.”

The call ended with a deep sigh.

“What was that all about?” he asked.

“She says she wants to help in any way she can but that this has been very hard on Makayla and if there’s any way we can leave her out of further questioning Mrs. DeSanchos would appreciate it.”

Daniel wouldn’t bite on the irony of that statement. The undercurrent of the conversation having been that the woman wanted to help—and by help she meant leaving her and her daughter alone. “The kid’s best friend is missing after a vacation together and Mrs. DeSanchos doesn’t think her daughter would want to do everything she could to help find her?”

Clara made eyes at him. “Her mother has always been overprotective of Makayla. Sometimes parents think it’s best to shield kids from painful situations.”

“I’m surprised you didn’t provide the other side to that argument.”

“Whether or not Mrs. DeSanchos wants us to speak to Makayla isn’t going to stop me from doing what I need to in order to find my niece,” she stated plain as day. “I owed it to the woman to hear her out but I don’t agree with her.”

“Your sister must’ve called her the minute we left.”

“Which also means she probably called Andy and Timothy to warn them that we might be coming around,” she agreed.

Daniel drained his cup, stood up and chucked it in the trash. “Not Timothy. She’s scared to death that we’ll reach out to him and stir the pot again.”

“Does that mean we go to him first?”

“I don’t like him but not because I think he’s responsible for Ashlyn’s disappearance.” Daniel stepped aside to allow her passage through the maze of two-top tables and toward the exit.

“Then where are we headed?”

“What school does Makayla go to?” he asked.

“Brighton Prep Academy,” Clara said.

“When does the school year start?”

“Most schools in Texas go back the third week in August but Brighton is technically year-round. They get a month break for summer,” Clara said. “They went back last week.”

Daniel palmed the keys and directed her to the pickup.

“Can you get us inside the building without getting arrested?” Daniel asked.

Clara shrugged. “I can try.”
