I WAITED UNTIL I WAS certain everyone had retired to their rooms for the evening to sneak out again. It was a calculated risk – something that could easily blow up in my face – but I thought ahead this time and arranged for an Uber so I didn’t have to take one of the Jeeps. I figured that Jack couldn’t complain about me wasting my own time if I didn’t steal one of the rentals.

I was on the main floor and heading toward the front door when Millie stepped into my path. Her expression was hard to read, but she seemed somber.

“You scared the crap out of me.” I lightly slapped her arm as I waited for my heart to stop racing and my breathing to return to normal. “You need to stop sneaking up on people. It’s undignified … and it makes me nervous.”

Millie made a dubious face. “You’re nervous because you’re about to sneak out again. Don’t blame that on me.”

“But … how did you know?”

“Because you’re you and I could practically see your mind working throughout dinner. I’m not an idiot.”

No, she could never be confused for an idiot. “I have something I need to do. It can’t be helped. I’m not taking one of the rentals. I called an Uber. It should be fine.”

Millie didn’t look convinced. “I don’t know if you should head back to the Winters house alone. I know you’re intrigued by her – and barely look at him, which I don’t get – but she doesn’t seem keen to give you the answers you’re looking for.”

She wasn’t wrong. Zoe Lake-Winters was guarded and secretive. I wasn’t sure I could blame her. She didn’t know me, and her family was her first priority. “I do want answers.” Pretending otherwise would be a waste of time. “I’m not going to the Winters house, though.”

Surprise lit Millie’s features. “You’re not?”

I shook my head. “I’m going to the hospital.”

“Why?”

“Because sneaking into Lisa Savage’s room will be easier at night,” I explained. “I want to see her for myself.”

“What if you get caught?”

“Then I’ll lie and find a way out.”

“What if you get caught by Lisa Savage?” Millie persisted. “She could call the police and have you arrested.”

“She could,” I agreed, “but I’m guessing they’ll have her sedated for the night.”

“And why do you think that?”

“That’s how it usually works.” This wasn’t the first time I’d planned an excursion to a hospital to talk to a victim. I didn’t think admitting that now would do much good. “I just want to touch her and see if I can get a reading.”

“Can you do that?” Millie was understandably intrigued. “Can you touch her and see what she went through while she was out there?”

I didn’t have an easy answer. “Maybe. It doesn’t always work. It depends on how traumatized she is, what images embedded in her mind. It’s kind of a crapshoot, but I want to see if I can find out anything of interest. Her husband is still out there, after all.
