Chapter Six

LIANNA WAS VERY pretty and so young.

Curly hair like a blonde mop on her head, a small, pert nose, and mischievous eyes: they looked so much alike, she could have been Lori’s sister.

Agent Sterling sat next to January as she leafed through the photographs. She could smell his aftershave— pine and fresh snow. It was making her dizzy, but she tried to concentrate on the smiling picture of the girl in the photograph.

“We did get something from her best friend that was interesting, but so far nothing has come of it,” Agent Sterling was saying. “It seems Lianna told her friend she would be meeting someone special on the night she vanished. She wouldn’t tell her who it was or where they were meeting, only that she was very excited about it.”

January could feel the color leaving her face. It sounded almost word for word like what Lori had told her the night she was murdered. The image of her friend swinging her leg over the windowsill came to her again, fresh and bright as though fifteen years had not passed.

“Ms. Morrison, are you alright?” Agent Talbot said. She was sitting in the seats facing them, across the small table where Lianna’s file was spread out.

January collected herself. “Yes, I’m fine. May I have a glass of water, please?” she asked. Agent Talbot got up to get it.

“Do we know anything else?” she asked Agent Sterling, trying to deflect his attention off her.

“Not very much,” he told her. “We have agents back at the office checking on a few leads, but so far, we’re in the dark.”

He continued to look at her. She knew he had seen her become upset, and she didn’t want him to think she was some kind of shrinking violet. She glanced back at him defiantly, but in his eyes she saw none of the pity—or worse—that she was used to seeing in the eyes of police officers she had dealt with. Just a calm curiosity, as if she were the most interesting thing he had ever seen.

“We should be landing in just about thirty minutes,” he said. “After we check into the hotel, we’ll go meet with Lianna’s family. Hopefully then, we’ll know more.”
