CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO

LINC KEPT WATCHING for Tori. When he saw her drive through the gates, a stab of excitement shot through him. But, for just a flicker of a second, in his mind’s eye he saw another face, a girl. Then she was gone. He tried to pull back the image, but it didn’t happen. His fiancée? A school friend?

He got up from the leather sectional in the family room and walked past the dogs to the game table where the laptop sat open. As Mac had recommended, he put more weight on his right foot each time, so eventually he could switch to a cane. He smiled to himself at his progress. He wanted to surprise Tori, see the smile on her face when he could walk without assistance.

Being with Tori pushed him to be a better man than he suspected he was before. He’d been serious when he’d told her he wanted to get married someday, maybe have kids.

He sat at the table and stared at the map of Los Angeles on the screen, at the X marking the address he’d found. A possible address for his father, and every time he thought about what to do with it, his heart warred with reality. One part of him wanted to talk to his father, and he was even a little excited about it. Yet, another part of him recoiled at the thought.

According to the prison visitor’s records, his father had never visited Linc, never even contacted him, not even when he was hospitalized and near death. What kind of parent could be so cold?

Both the police records he’d been allowed to see and the public court records online contained little information on his background. He knew he’d been a student at ASU when arrested, so last week he’d completed the online forms to get copies of his transcripts, which listed the classes he’d taken. Armed with that information, he could contact a professor or two who might remember him…and, he hoped, who might know the other students he’d hung out with.

One of the most important people for him to talk with was his ex-fiancée, but he’d called the apartment manager at the last listed address and discovered she’d married and moved to another state. He’d called all the people with her former name, hoping to find a relative, but to no avail. He’d done dozens of online searches, read and reread the few newspaper articles relating to the trial, but the information was old. And the person who’d wrongly identified him hadn’t been named, as was usual when the victim was a minor. But he was sure to have the name when he got the court transcripts.

In fact, when the transcripts came, he’d have the names of everyone who had testified and he had to be able to locate some of them. It had been a month since he’d applied for the trial transcripts, so they could come any day now.

He heard the security beep from a door opening. His pulse quickened.
