THURSDAY, JUNE 28

After a good night’s sleep, Peyton felt better than she imagined possible. Rather than be distracted by curious coworkers at the office, most of whom had to know she’d begun the first leg of her search, she decided to write the Manning column at home. Samson and Elijah were just as curious as her coworkers, but they were definitely less vocal.

Given Reverend Manning’s conviction that his father could not have written the note, she refrained from naming him or his church, identifying her first prospect only as “a successful minister in a Midamerican city.” By keeping his identity a secret, she would not only indemnify the paper from a possible lawsuit (she could just see the headlines: “Manning v. Tampa Times—Television Ministry Contributions Drop Off When Pastor Denies the Note of Flight 848), but she’d also prevent any other sharp-eyed reporters from discovering the link her prospects shared.

She worked from 8:00 until 11:00 A.M., stopping only for a cup of coffee and a quick peek at the paper, then plugged her laptop into the telephone extension and clicked the send icon.

Done.

Peyton leaned back in her chair, her concentration dissipating in a mist of fatigue. Odd, how this story had drained her. She usually felt like celebrating in the hour when she filed a column; today she felt more like crawling into bed for a catnap.

Leaving her desk, Peyton decided to obey her feline instincts.
