Earl acting so weird when talking to me.

Ryder—I need to make Ava realize there could be something going on with him—the hoodies and leather jacket in July, talking to Marissa.

Zimmermans—they’ve been way more jerky and hostile toward the Tuckers than usual—should we talk to them?

Clues: pictures—add to slides: cup from Chocolate Capers—order—Bobby Zane; scrap of red material; spray paint can—I think Ryder. The material is what has me confus~~~

I felt myself nodding off to sleep. Several hours later, I woke up to the sound of Mick’s voice in the next room, which was his den. I looked over at the clock which read two a.m. Who could he be talking to? He just had been with Teddy.

I slid off the bed and tiptoed to the adjoining door, trying to hear better. It was slightly ajar and I could see the glow from his computer screen. I couldn’t see who—but someone was on the screen.

“Your parents are helping me as much as they can. I have information that can help you and those people you have taken on as family.” The voice sounded female and kind of familiar.

“What is it?” Mick asked her.

I could see his muscles tensing from the glare off the screen.

“Now, Micky,” said the low, breathy, smoky voice, “you know I’m more than happy to provide information to you, but you’ve got to do something for me.”

“And what’s that, Imelda?” Mick sighed heavily.

Imelda? But she was in prison—in Italy. Without thought I started into the room, coming up behind Mick as I heard Imelda speak again.

“I mean, your family can only do so much. I feel like your little FBI buddies could help out a lot more, and trust me when I tell you this information will break everything. And who knows? When I get out, you and I could get some dinner,” Imelda said, then her eyes darted up to my face in surprise.

Mick turned abruptly, blinking rapidly as his face went pallid.

“Listen, you Italian Amazon princess, we are MORE than capable of figuring things out without your help!” I whipped my face around to Mick. “Why wouldn’t you discuss this with me first? You know my history with her.”

Mick’s eyes teared up when he heard the hurt in my tone.

“Calm down, Barbie.” Then I saw her eyes darken as they rested on my middle. “Oh, wow, I didn’t know Barbie dolls could get pregnant.”

“You know, it’s kind of nice seeing you in a little box like this—kind of like your forever home now, huh?” I spat back at her.

Imelda’s face shape-shifted and turned shadowy as the lines of her cheekbones distorted. “I told you once before that you’re in over your head. You obviously didn’t believe me if you thought getting pregnant by him would be safe for you and that baby.”

“I’ll make sure you never see the light of day again!” Mick lightly pushed me aside to lean into the screen.

“Micky, come on, we both know how things work here in Italy—I’ll be seeing you both sooner rather than later.
