Claire heard the vibrating of the phone as it danced across the bedside table before she was even fully awake. She grabbed for it automatically and pushed the button to talk.

“Hello?” she said, groggily, holding the phone clumsily to her ear. She sat up on her elbow, brushing unruly hair from her face.

“We found something that we think might help us find Simon.” It was Glen. Claire blinked her eyes a few times and stared at the naked, sleeping Davis beside her. Sunlight streamed through the blinds, leaving bright streaks of light across his upper torso. His chest lifted and fell with slow breathing. He was still asleep.

“What’s that?” she asked. Davis stirred beside her. He groaned a bit and turned his back to her, cradling a pillow under his head.

“We went back to the warehouse. Simon had left all his files there.”

Claire remembered the warehouse all too well. She suddenly felt nauseous, sick at the mention of it. “He did?”

“Yes. We think he might’ve covered up something with the PRDI. He had his own file there, as well as the files for a man and a woman I think might be his parents.”

“The files said he was dead, didn’t they?” Claire asked. Davis rolled over to face her. He blinked at her, eyes still coated with sleep but Claire turned, kicking her legs off the side of the bed.

Glen sounded surprised. “How did you know that?”

“I found something, too.” She grabbed the bed sheet and wrapped it around her awkwardly with one hand. She stepped out of reach of Davis, who sat up now, watching her.

“What?”

Claire told him about the Conners and the fire, giving him a quick, condensed version of the information she had found in the file. When she was done, there was a moment of silence.

“That sounds familiar,” Glen admitted.

“Davis said you stumbled across it before.”

“I might have. That narrows things down a bit. I still want to bring these files over and have you look at them.”

“All right.” Claire walked the floor, the sheet trailing the floor behind her. “I’ll see what I can do.”

“Thanks, Claire. I’ll be there in a couple of hours.” There was no goodbye. The phone went silent. Claire sighed and tossed the phone without looking where it would land. It hit the pillow beside Davis and he grabbed it, staring at the number that was still displayed on the screen.

“What was that about?”

Claire didn’t answer him right away. Instead, she opened the door to the bathroom connected to her room and flipped the light on. She stared at her reflection in the wide mirror over the sink. She realized how pale she was. Her blonde hair looked dull and lifeless, sticking out in all directions. She made an attempt to smooth it down but it did no good. She sighed and turned on the faucet.

“He said they found something.” She paused before adding, “At the warehouse.”

Davis slid out of bed and walked to the bathroom. He hovered in the doorway, leaning against the frame.
