Chapter 15

“Ineed to take this to the district attorney’s office right away,” Lee Whitlow said after viewing the drawings. “Sam, find out who packed these sketchbooks. I’ll want to speak with whoever that is, and I’m sure the DA will, too. This sheds a whole new light on your case, Tessa. It’s possible, if we can locate the person or persons who packed the boxes, and if they can recall exactly where they found the drawings, that there won’t even be a need for a trial.” He held up a hand. “I can’t guarantee that, but it’s entirely possible. How is Harry’s team coming along?”

“Nothing yet, but they’re searching the grounds,” Sam said. “So far, there isn’t anything new.”

Sam introduced Lee to Jill, and the well-trained attorney didn’t miss a beat as he acknowledged her with a quick handshake and a very confident smile.

“Tessa, finding the drawings is good for your case. I’m not going to stay now, as I want to get this new information to the DA right away, but I do want to warn you that I have scheduled a meeting with Rosa tonight, eight o’clock, here at your house. I hope I’m not overstepping my boundaries?” Lee explained.

Though Tessa had given him full authority to do whatever he needed, she was surprised at how quickly Lee had arranged the meeting. Using her house as a base for any meeting was for her protection from the media, something that he had told her on his last visit to the prison.

She wasn’t sure how she felt about Rosa’s returning to her home. If it helped locate Liam, or any new evidence to prove her innocence, she would have to deal with the emotional aspect of her housekeeper’s betrayal—her not coming forth before the trial—after she heard what Rosa had to say. According to Lee, Rosa was now a legal resident and no longer feared deportation. She had not asked how that came to be, and truly, she didn’t care. All she wanted to know was what Rosa had witnessed on the day her family was slaughtered.

“No, you’re not overstepping any boundaries. I’m grateful, Lee,” Tessa told him. “If not for you and Sam, I’d still be locked up. I wouldn’t have had this . . . second chance. I’ll meet with Rosa tonight. Actually, I’m anxious to hear what she has to say.”

“Good, then we are all set for this evening. I’ll let you know what the district attorney says as soon as I know something concrete,” Lee said, then headed toward the front door.

“Go out the back,” Sam said. “Those damn newshounds are still hanging around.”

“Good idea. I had to push my way through them just to get past the gates to the community. Let’s not alienate them just yet since we may need to use them to our advantage. I’ll see you all later this evening.”

Lee disappeared through the back door as fast as he’d entered through the front. Tessa saw that the forensic team was
