ELEVEN

They were back on the water again. Sadie stared out the window of the hotel room overlooking the Pacific while the radio played seventies music. She hadn’t argued when Gage had wanted to move her again. To be safe, Uncle Joe decided to take Aunt Neta and Aunt Debby down to Eureka, California, to see the coast there. They had scattered to the four winds, almost. They hadn’t gone as far away as they could, but they had still gone.

Everyone was scared.

Including her.

Arms folded, she leaned against the windowsill, letting the numbness take hold.

Gage sat at the desk with his laptop. Crowley had failed to get the required warrant to find the emails on the server. Gage was working off the possibility this was related to maritime drug smuggling and would probably have even less success than Crowley if he even tried, considering he’d need to produce evidence of jurisdiction. Crowley promised to get the state police working that end of it. But it wasn’t likely the large company hosting the emails would so easily give them up. Getting their cooperation could take time.

It always took too much time.

In the interim, Sadie’s life remained in danger.

So they were opening Karon’s emails using the old-fashioned way of hacking her password. Gage could get berated for this, and who knew what else, but Sadie’s life was at stake and he needed a break in this case. They needed to know what Karon had said to Donna in her email. Unless Donna woke up and told them, that information was lost to them.

“Any other ideas for passwords?”

“I’m fresh out.” Sadie dropped her arms and joined him at the desk.

Gage’s cell rang and he answered then turned on speakerphone. He pressed his finger against his lips to let her know to keep silent. “Crowley, what have you got?”

“Got the information back from the analysis on the dolphin pendant. It gave us nothing. Even if it did, it doesn’t really tell us anything. Karon Casings could have been on the boat at any time. It could have been a convenient vessel on which to put Sadie. We’re still looking for reports of any missing or stolen boats.”

“It’s too much to be a coincidence. But moving on... What else?”

“The vehicle you were in a collision with near the national forest—stolen.”

“Of course.”

“Donna is still in a coma. Doctors don’t know why. They’ve looked for a drug but come up empty. You and Thompkins need to get with it. Do your jobs and get these drug runners. I have a whole county to manage. You’re working one case.”

Gage’s jaw worked, and he drummed his fingers. Sadie wanted to say something in his defense, but she wasn’t supposed to be listening in. “I’ll contact Thompkins for news on the investigation into Sean Miller’s death.”

He ended the call then stared off into space while he rubbed his jaw.

Sadie snapped her fingers. “I’ve got it.”

“What have you got?”

“An idea you can try for the password.” She slapped her forehead. “I feel like such an idiot.
