“How’s everything going with you and Tank? Are you still staying at his place? Has he been respecting your boundaries?” Cleo asks.

I’m not even going there with Cleo, while I like her and she seems like a nice woman, I’ve been slut shamed too many times in my life. Maybe I just get nervous around people in authority, like they’ll automatically judge me. “Everything with Tank is fine. Better than fine, in fact. What I want to talk to you about is David Henderson. He showed up at the house today.”

Cleo bolts forward in her seat and her eyes go wide. One hand comes out to grip the edge of the table so hard her knuckles go white. If I ever thought Tank was exaggerating regarding the traffickers, this is my verification that he wasn’t.

“Oh my God, what did he want?”

“I don’t know. I was too freaked out to let him in. You know, stranger danger and all that. Having an abusive ex has made suspicious almost to the point of paranoia. No one wearing a five-hundred-dollar suit and carrying a briefcase has ever visited me before, so when this guy knocked, I was too afraid to answer the door. I didn’t find out until later, when I talked to Tank, that he was involved with the trafficking.”

“It’s good that you’re cautious. The last thing in the world you want to do is come face to face with one of them.”

“It would have been helpful to know names and faces so I would know who to avoid.”

Cleo looks slightly chagrined. “Again, I’m sorry. I really should have thought of that. I have several images encrypted in my personal cloud that might help you understand what’s going on a little better.”

I wait patiently as she scrolls through her phone. She pulls her chair around to sit beside me and holds out her phone for me to see. She pulls up a picture of the man who visited earlier. He’s staring into the camera, and there’s something about his eyes that aren’t quite right. I frown as I try to figure out what it is.

“As you know, this is David Henderson. I can tell by the look on your face that you’ve picked up on something else as well. Mattie and I think he’s a sociopath. His expression is always inscrutably blank, just like in the picture. I’ve heard him speak at conventions and the man doesn’t crack a smile when he tells a joke or show any emotion at all when he talks about the profound abuse of children. The only emotions I’ve ever seen him have been anger and maybe a little irritation.”

“That’s really creepy. How do you think he’s connected to the traffickers exactly? He doesn’t strike me as the kind of man who snatches women and children off the street and runs off with them.”

Cleo pulls her phone back and scrolls some more. “No, he’s not the kind of man to get his hands dirty. He’s got people for that.
