“Are you planning on staying here?” Nico asked Miles, while the sisters talked among themselves.

Miles shot a sideways glance toward Vanessa and nodded, then filled in Nico about the rejected lease agreements as a way for Ambrose to find an empty rental for free and to not be on the grid. “The Mavericks team is on that, but it’s beyond a long shot and covers all seventeen women’s locales, and his real name probably wasn’t used. So it’s just a matter if someone remembers his face from the last couple decades. Realtors probably see new faces all day long. It’s a long shot with horrible odds. A really massive long shot.”

“Yeah,” Nico agreed, “but what a great lead.” He slapped Miles on the shoulder.

“We have to work any other leads as we find them and hope something pans out and fast. Plus there is an active threat against her by her captor,” he said cautiously. “I would like to go to her apartment to take a look and just to see what has been going on.”

“I know,” Nico said. “I’ve been there, and I’ve looked at both places, but there’s nothing quite like getting that info firsthand yourself.”

He stood and looked at Vanessa, then said, “I’ll switch places with Nico right now.”

Instantly fear whispered across her face.

Miles reached for her hand, and she eagerly reached back. “I know you’re worried,” he said gently. “But Nico works with me. He’ll stand guard here with you, and the guard outside is still there also.”

“And I’ll stay for a while too,” Ruby said. Both women turned to look at Miles.

Vanessa asked, “Where are you going?”

“I’ll be in your home, and I’ll go to the site where you were imprisoned. I need to see both places, get a good visual in my mind about what options the kidnapper was interested in and why that place was chosen and where he could have gone from there.”

She hesitated.

“Yes, I can look on the satellite,” he said. “And I have many times. And images are a large part of the equation, but it’s not the same as getting that same feel from being in the physical location.”

Her shoulders slumped, and she nodded. “No, you’re right,” she said. “And one day, a little bit down the road, I wouldn’t mind going back through it myself. Just so I can place it in the right part of my memory, so that I have some closure there.”

“When you’re back on your feet, we can do that,” he said.

She glanced at him, and her lips firmed up. “Any chance I can go home and rest there?”

“Not tonight,” he said. “We’ll talk about it tomorrow. But only if you have protection.”

“Because you really don’t think he knows where I live, right?”

“Are you having any doubts about that?” he asked in surprise.

She thought about it and then shook her head. “No, I still don’t remember anything after going down the steps and around the corner. But, if where he held me is literally around the corner, then that makes sense that he knows exactly where I live.
