Danny was exhausted but happy, thrilled with how the sitting with the handicapped boy had gone after talking with the mother. She really was a good woman, and once they went back into the room, her whole attitude had changed. Danny got a number of great shots of the kid grinning from his chair, the glint fully visible in his mischievous eyes. When Tiffany sat down to make her sales pitch, it wasn’t even necessary. The woman bought the deluxe package—and thanked Danny again for his honesty and wisdom as they were leaving.

After the door closed behind them, Danny went back to the lab to give Jo a quick call on her cell phone. She sounded a little out of breath and said she was jogging from one side of the campus to the other, hoping to pop in on a history professor by the name of McMann. She had also heard from her chemistry professor, who told her to leave the photocopy of the notebook for him to go through later.

“I’ve got lots to tell you,” Jo said. “But the most important thing is that I might have an ID on the silver-haired guy in the pictures from Edna’s next-door neighbor. According to her, a silver-haired man named Simon has been around a lot, and he was either a friend or boyfriend of Edna Pratt.”

“I’ve got lots to tell you too,” Danny replied. “I was able to track down two of the original photos on the Internet, and in both cases, the man simply isn’t there. He was definitely added in later using trick photography.”

“I thought so. Too bad things don’t seem quite as cut-and-dried with this painting.”

“No?”

Jo described her visit with the art professor and the information she’d been given there. As she talked, Danny sat at the computer, went online, and typed in the artist’s name and the name of the painting.

It showed up in a number of databases, and in every case, the silver-haired fellow—he would have to start thinking of him as Simon—in every case, Simon was there in the painting, in the upper left corner, his face half hidden in shadow.

“Maybe this was a look-alike ancestor,” Danny ventured. “The face is fairly obscured.”

“Maybe,” Jo said, sounding skeptical. “But I still want to talk to the museum and verify whether that person is in the original painting or not.”
