Abby watched him carefully. Getting this much information from Vance was a gift, but it was a lot like disassembling a bomb. Each move had to be careful and precise not to jar anything and impede the process. "Ethan didn't know? I mean…"

"His sight didn't work like that. Fuck, if it did, I'd have had him hunt the guy, then play lotto and we'd be kicking back in Fiji right now."

"Point taken."

He sighed. "Look, he couldn't get a feel for the guy. It drove him nuts, like the guy was blocking himself somehow. Ethan felt like we knew him but hell, how many people did that add up to between us?"

All true facts. Abby was just beginning to see how very complicated this case was. "Ethan never mentioned this guy showing himself?"

"Never. If it happened, Ethan played it close to the vest."

If Vance was lying, Abby couldn't tell. She'd have to go with his version of events for the moment. But it sounded like something Ethan would do. "So what do we know about the stalker?"

Vance looked like he wasn't going to tell her anything, so she was surprised when, seconds later, he launched into a list. "It started when Ethan was in his first year of college. He hadn't been sure if he'd be going to school or the military, but our mom had begged him and he'd gone to St. John's reluctantly. When this stalking started, it bugged the shit out of him, but he hadn't thought much about it, other than to take it as a sign that he belonged in the military. So he enlisted after his first year."

Abby's mouth dropped. "It's been going on for that long?"

Vance nodded. "Yeah, that long."

Twelve years. How could Ethan have stood that? "It must not have been that intense at first."

"It wasn't. It was more of an annoyance, and honestly, it was probably only because Ethan was Ethan that he noticed it at all. Other people probably would've blown it off. Like, he'd find some of his things missing—nothing big enough to report. Most would think they'd misplaced their things. And then there would be things like appointments getting canceled or moved. It seemed more like bad luck than anything, but Ethan could feel that someone was doing it purposely. Again, he couldn't figure out who it was though, or settle on why someone would do it."

"So he couldn't pinpoint anyone he'd had issues with."

"No. Ethan got along with most everyone. He didn't deal well with bullshit but he handled it in a low-key way. He was the kind of guy everyone loved." He stared at her, probably realizing he'd been talking to her as though she hadn't known Ethan at all. In some ways, she hadn't. In some ways, it was important for the case that she depersonalize all of this.

She swallowed hard. "No frats?"

"No."

"No girlfriends with jealous exes?"

"No."

She sat back. "How was a stalker able to follow Ethan from college to boot camp through some of the toughest environments in the world?"

"That's the question Ethan kept asking himself.
