Chapter Eight

Sarah woke and found herself alone in the tent. Sitting up, she rubbed her eyes and shook her head. She felt groggy. She hadn’t slept well after her run in with Klonsky. Stretching, Sarah glanced around the tent and spied the photo album in the corner. She grabbed it and started turning the pages.

She studied the pictures, hoping to understand the Cat Lady a little better. There were photos of David and his mother hugging. Another captured David and his first fish, according to the caption below, and both mother and son seemed proud. The next picture showed David and his mother throwing their heads back in laughter. Across from that picture was one showing both of them sleeping in a hammock, the Cat Lady on her side and David curled up next to her, his mother’s arm thrown around him in a protective gesture. Looking at these pictures, Sarah realized David and his mother had been close.

Sarah caught another glimpse of what the Cat Lady had been like before the kidnapping. She saw a mother who loved her son without measure, unconditionally. A lump rose in her throat and tears welled in her eyes, as she imagined the pain the Cat Lady must have endured when her son disappeared. Wiping away her tears, she focused on her search for clues. As she turned the page, Sarah gasped. Shock ran through her body like a bolt of lightning.

“Holy cow,” Sarah said out loud. She carried the album with her as she dashed from the tent. Opening the screen door, she found Lacey and Jackie in the kitchen making breakfast.

“Hey,” Jackie greeted her.

“Hey, you guys, take a look at this.” She opened the photo album and pointed at a picture of two young boys in baseball uniforms—she read the caption below. “’David and his friend LONNY KLONSKY before their first baseball game.’”

Jackie’s eyes widened. “I don’t believe it. Klonsky and David Fedewa were friends.”

“Don’t you find that odd?” Sarah asked.

“Very strange.” Jackie nodded emphatically, sending her curls into a frenzy.

“These crimes are connected.” Sarah pounded the table with her fist.

Jackie patted Sarah on the back. “You are a brainiac.”

“What do you mean?” Lacey asked.

“Klonsky was involved in David’s kidnapping, I just know it. And we found out last night he murdered the Cat Lady.” Sarah’s brow furrowed as she concentrated. “I just haven’t figured the whole thing out yet.”

“Don’t you think Lonny was a little young to be kidnapping anyone? I mean he was only five or six,” Jackie said and she paged through the photo album.

Sarah rubbed her forehead. “Good point. We need to talk to that detective.”

“I’m already on it,” Lacey said, taking pancakes off of the griddle. “I called Scott this morning and he’s calling the detective now. He’s retired, so he has lots of free time.”

“Hey, Sarah, who took these pictures?” Jackie asked.

“I don’t know. I wondered that, too.”

“And why isn’t David’s dad in any of these?”

Sarah shook her head. “I have no idea.” She turned to Lacey.
