Coming to E. in October. I’m going to make one last pitch for your cooperation, then I’m coming clean. It’s time, G. I know you don’t agree, but I have to do it.

I blew out a breath. Incredible.

I straightened the papers, returning them to their folder, and stacked the files as best as I could. In a daze, I picked up one of the loose papers lying on the desk. It was a fuzzy copy of a newspaper article from a 1978 edition of the New York Times. The headline cut like a razor: “Sorghum Bombing Claims Two Lives.” I skimmed the article, halting when I reached a section that was highlighted in florescent yellow and circled in red. It was the names of the slain security guards: Robert Treeleaf and Alphonse Mendona.

A scraping sound on the window wrenched me from the past. It was a tree branch, buffeted by the wind. I stood up, suddenly conscious of where I was—in the midst of committing my own crime. I wondered what the penalty was for trespassing.

With a backward glance at the desk, I hurried to the front door. After making sure the coast was clear, I let myself out—only to realize the lock was a dead bolt. I wouldn’t be able to relock it without a key. No matter. I needed to get away from here. I ducked around the corner and leaned against a picnic table.

My mind whirred. The papers I’d seen suggested Josephine had some connection with the Sorghum bombing, just as I had speculated. At a minimum, Levi must have thought there was a connection. Apparently, Gil was involved, too. I couldn’t imagine how Levi obtained the postcard meant for Josephine’s old pal. Did Gil even receive it?

More importantly, why did Levi have all those papers? Was he writing a book about the bombing? Perhaps a historical fiction novel, or a nonfiction account of the incident?

Or did he have a special interest in the victims? Maybe he was related to one of them. Maybe he was out for vengeance.

One thing was clear: he didn’t happen to innocently meet Josephine on a hiking trail. He came here to track her down. He followed her—just like in my dream.

And now he was taking Farrah to the scene of the murder.
