CHAPTER ELEVEN

“I think I may have something,” Molly said as she walked into Allison’s office. She was carrying a tablet with her and turned it around to show Allison the screen. “This might be our mole. I set up a program to scan for the general description we had heard, including the small-hands issue. The program found a few references that seemed to fit, all of them on Facebook. When I got to looking at them, I tracked them back to this profile.”

Allison reached out and took the tablet, staring at the small blonde woman in the photo. Her hands were remarkably tiny compared to the rest of her body, but it wasn’t the hands Allison was looking at. It was the three children in the photo with her. The two girls looked to be in their very early teens, but the boy was probably only nine or ten.

She looked up at Molly. “Who the hell is this?”

“Her name is Monica Lord,” Molly said, “and at first glance she appears to be nothing more than your average housewife and mother. It wasn’t until I really got to digging into her background that I found enough evidence to suspect her. Publicly, she seems to be a typical entrepreneur; she owns a company that sells health and beauty products under her own label that are carried in stores all over the world. I think, however, that she only uses that to cover her occasional need to travel. See, most of the time, she’s just your average mom, taking the kids to soccer practice and things like that, but she takes short jet trips around the country about twice a week and an occasional one to other parts of the world. Go back twenty years, though, and you’ll discover that she used to be an executive assistant to a freshman senator named Charles Wiggins. Some of Wiggins’s people apparently objected to the way she ran his offices, claiming that she was literally forcing them into actions they didn’t want to take, and there were rumors that they were having an affair. As a result, she voluntarily resigned after three years with him, and she was married to Jonathan Lord, a local businessman, a little more than a year after that.”

Allison’s eyebrows were trying to crawl over the top of her forehead. “As soon as you mentioned Wiggins,” she said, “I was sold. This has to be Monique. I mean, even the name is similar. Add in the description and the fact that she’s connected to Wiggins and I’m convinced. Is she still connected in any way to him now?”

“Not that I can prove,” Molly said with a grin, “but I can tell you that the two of them have a tendency to turn up in the same city from time to time. That could be coincidental, until you notice that they always stay at the same hotel. I’m pretty sure Mrs. Lord is having an ongoing affair with Senator Wiggins.”

“Which would give her plenty of access to a lot of things he knows.
