Chapter 12

Horizon Flight 2269 was about to touch down at the Seattle Airport. Kate and Ryan had gotten to the airport before sunrise and were arriving in Seattle as the early morning sun was beginning to break. During the flight, Kate had been studying the photo on Ryan’s phone, trying to make out the faces, but no matter how long she stared at the picture, it was not big enough or sharp enough to identify the people in it.

They got off the plane as fast as they could, grabbing their carry-on bags as they left. Making a quick sprint to the parking garage, they were soon on the freeway and headed to the police station. Kate called Detective Patel to let him know their plane had landed and they were on their way to meet him.

“Porter and I are both here sifting through the computer files once more. I’m sorry to say we haven’t found anything new. Hopefully, you will be able to identify the two people in the photograph, and it will tell us something.”

“We should be there in about twenty minutes,” Kate said, before hanging up.

She caught Ryan sneaking a quick peek at her while he drove. “Raj and Will are already at the office waiting for us,” she told him.

Wrapping her arms around herself, she let out a sigh. “Whitney’s running out of time isn’t she?” she asked in a sad voice.

“Now, let’s stay positive, Kate. We don’t know anything yet. This photo might be nothing, but, on the other hand, it might be a clue that busts this whole case wide open and leads us to finding your sister.”

“You’re right, but...”

“But, nothing. We’ll be at the station in just a few minutes and then you can get a good look at the photo.”

Kate wanted Ryan to be right. This photo could be the key to figuring out what happened to Whitney and where she was. She didn’t want to think of the alternative.

“I wonder if Suki would know who the people in the photo are,” Kate said.

“That’s a thought. Let’s ask Raj and Will when we get there.”

“Ugh! I wish I had thought of that last night. They could have gone right over to the apartment and shown it to her. Then Whitney may have been found by now.”

“Don’t beat yourself up about it. We’ll ask them in just a few minutes.”

“What a great sister I am. I was so wrapped up in what was going on between you and me last night that it never even occurred to me.” She whipped out her phone again and began dialing.

“Who are you calling?” Ryan asked.

“Detective Porter.” The phone started to ring and Will picked up.

“Kate? I thought you were on your way in?” he asked.

“How did you know it was me?”

“Caller ID.”

“Oh, that makes sense. Well, I was wondering if you thought we should ask Suki if she could identify the people in the photo.”

“Yes, we thought about that last night. So, we went over to her apartment and showed her the photo, but she said she didn’t know who they were.
