Hope and Vera were seated in the Florida room, sipping on cups of chamomile tea, when Casey and Claire found them.

Hope jumped to her feet in a heartbeat. “Is there news?â€

“Not yet,†Casey replied. “But we’d like to talk. I’l fil you in on the names we’ve crossed off the list, and then I’d like to ask you both some questions. The questions may seem trite, but I assure you, they’re anything but.â€

“Al right.†Hope resettled herself on the couch. “Whose names did you delete from our suspect list? And how?â€

Quickly, Casey ran through their house-buying charade.

“That’s very creative,†Hope commented when Casey was through. “But the FBI and the police have already interviewed al our neighbors. So that territory has been covered.â€

“Yes and no. The task force did their job—very thoroughly. But police badges and FBI ID tend to intimidate people. So the interviewees automatical y supply factual answers, rather than more detailed, personal ones. We took every iota of negative feedback, however smal , and turned the information over to Ryan McKay, my techno-genius. He’l do detailed searches on those people—so detailed that anything even remotely out of whack wil pop up. That’l support the law enforcement investigations, and eliminate a neighborhood of suspects altogether.â€

Hope gave a wan smile. “I appreciate that. But it doesn’t bring me much comfort.â€

“I agree. That’s why we want to talk.†Casey sat down and opened her notepad, gesturing for Claire to take a seat beside her.

“I stil believe that your sister and your daughter’s kidnappings are related. I think you do, too. The cops are digging into your father’s connection to the mob, however limited. I want to look at the past, too, but through a different route.â€

“Which is?â€

“You. I want you to think back thirty-two years. To rack your brains to remember every single detail, person or conversation associated with the time right before and after Felicity’s kidnapping. You’d be surprised how much each of us stores away in our memory that we don’t even realize is there. Events, snatches of conversation, and flashes of visual images. I’m asking you to trust me, and to try this. Claire can help us. If anything you touch on triggers a feeling or insight, she’l pick up on it. Together, maybe—just maybe—we can zero in on something that can help find Krissy.â€

“I was six years old,†Hope reminded her.

“I realize that. Were you in kindergarten? First grade? Focus on that, on the friends you remember coming over to play. That’s a good place to start to initiate memories.†Casey turned to Vera. “And you were Sidney’s wife. You must remember the last months you were together. Things he said. The way he acted. How he reacted to Felicity’s abduction—and not just the drinking. The things he harped on.

What set him off. Which parts of the FBI investigation threw him the most. Any people who came by to offer their support that elicited a notable response from him. Things like that.â€

Vera drew a slow, painful breath.
