When James arrived at the library, the Fitzgerald twins were busy helping patrons. James smiled when he saw the library had a healthy number of people browsing the stacks and others at the checkout counter with books in hand. With the threat of being snowed in, people were stocking up on reading material. He should help out, but first he had to look something up on the computer.

James went back to his office, took off his outerwear, and booted up his computer. When he Googled “Kitty Walters,” hundreds of thousands of results popped up. He scrolled through the first three pages, then gave up. None of them were the Kitty Walters he sought.

He tried “Kitty Walters Realtor” and was equally daunted by the number of search results. James huffed out a breath and sat with his arms crossed. His mind drifted to the vending machine and the snack-size bags of cheese puffs there. He restrained himself with an effort.

Then his fingers flew over the keyboard as he typed in “Kitty Walters actress.” The first result took him to a sparse Wikipedia page that listed acting credits, including “waitress,” “girlfriend,” “girl in video store.” All of Kitty’s acting jobs were bit parts in well-known TV shows. Which meant, James thought, that she lived in Los Angeles during the time Hearth and Home was filmed. Was it possible that Kitty knew some of the cast members from that time?

Then James scrolled back to the top of Kitty’s Wikipedia page. The very first sentence struck him. Kitty Walters, born Kathleen Alison Richardson in Washington, DC, to lawyer Rowan Richardson and socialite Faye Carlisle Richardson.

After reading about the expensive girls’ school Kitty/Kathleen had attended, followed by a term at George Mason University, James grew impatient. He clicked the link to Rowan Richardson’s Wikipedia page. Near the bottom of the page, after an extensive account of Richardson’s education, rise to prominent attorney specializing in corporate law, and list of cases he’d been involved with, James read, “Among Richardson’s many real estate holdings was Fairbridge in Cardinal’s Rest, Virginia, which the family used as a summer house. Built in 1888, the Victorian house served as the exterior for the television show Hearth and Home. It is now a bed and breakfast known as the Red Bird.”
