Hannah and Cameron didn’t think to question whether or not Ned was telling the truth. It was so clear on his face that this was something that haunted him and that pain was genuine. They knew it was true. Savannah was his sister, and she had gone missing. He was worried deeply about her. Somehow, they had gotten ahold of this missing woman’s wallet.

Hannah handed Ned the wallet right away, and he looked shocked just upon seeing it. Like he knew it was Savannah’s. Still, he held back his words until he opened it, and then tears came to his eyes.

“That’s Savannah,” he said, gazing at the license photo. “This is my sister’s wallet. Where did you find it?”

“My daughter found it,” Hannah explained, shocked at this new revelation that something like this would be at their house. “She found it by a pond at our house.”

“Where do you live?” Ned asked. “We’re going to have to take this straight to the police. You’re going to have to tell them everything. I’m sure they’ll want to search the area. But I want to know where it is too because the investigators haven’t been too helpful in this. I suspect they’re being influenced by someone with a lot of money and a lot invested in making sure the truth doesn’t come out. I’ve been on this search mostly on my own.”

“That sounds really tough,” Hannah said. “I’m sorry to hear you’re dealing with that. I can’t imagine how stressful that is paired with your sister’s disappearance.” She paused. “Do you know Lucille and David Henderson?”

“Yes,” Ned replied, his face darkening. “I know them all too well.”

“I’m their daughter,” Hannah said. “I inherited their house. That’s where we’ve been living. That’s where the wallet was found.”

Ned shook his head. “I knew it,” he said in a sharp tone that surprised them. “I knew he had something to do with this. Or at least, I knew he was covering it up. I wouldn’t have expected to find the wallet there, but I’m certainly not surprised.”

When Ned looked back up at them, there was wild anger in his eyes. Suddenly, Hannah was frightened. Because it looked like this man hated them.

“You need to leave,” Ned said. “Though I’m sure the police will show up at your house anyway. I don’t want anything to do with you or your family.”

“I’m sorry,” Hannah mumbled.

She turned to leave as he asked, but something stopped her. Because she needed answers. She needed to protect her family. And Ned might be able to help her if she could figure out a way to talk to him.

“Why?” Cameron asked, rooted to the spot. “I don’t mean to cause more problems for you. You’re clearly already going through a lot. But we have a sort of mystery of our own to solve. And as you know, we haven’t been here long. We don’t know what’s going on with all of this. We don’t know what reason you’d have to dislike Lucille and David.
