TYLER STAYED WITH his uncle the rest of the afternoon but couldn’t get Abraham to say anything more about Summer or about the people he used to hear partying and drinking as they trekked from the Havens’ land to the Collinses’ residence, but Tyler had a pretty good idea where to start looking for clues as to what they’d been up to. He’d left the old man resting comfortably and promised to visit him again soon.

He thought he’d start looking into Mark Arrowdale this evening, find out what he could about the man, and see who he’d been involved with back then. He remembered the name from the case file, but he couldn’t honestly say he’d paid much attention. The investigators at the time had cleared Mark, based on his wife’s alibi, but Tyler was more interested in any rumors that might have been floating around back then. He could think of a half dozen old women and a couple old men he could tap for the gossip that had been rampant at the time, but he didn’t want to bother them on a Sunday if he could help it.

His phone rang as he pulled up to the sheriff’s office. Christie.

“Hey, Christie, what’s up?”

“Tyler, did you ask her?”

Tyler, his head full of questions about Summer and the mysterious drinkers in the woods, didn’t have a clue what his stepdaughter was talking about.

“Ask who what?”

“Tavey.” She groaned, clearly exasperated with his inept adult self. “Did you ask her if she’d help me train Grumbles?”

“Oh, yeah. Shit. No. I got distracted.”

She sighed and then said patiently, “Will you call her?”

He figured he’d have to call Tavey tonight at some point. He wanted to talk to her about what his uncle had told him. Now that he’d talked to Abraham, he was forced to concede that maybe the old man knew something he wasn’t telling about the day that Summer went missing, though he still didn’t believe his uncle had anything to do with her disappearance.

“Yeah. I’m going to grab some dinner and I’ll give her a call. I’ll call you back right away if I get hold of her. If not, I’ll call you tomorrow. Okay?”

“Okay,” she agreed. “Love you!” She hung up.

“Love you, too,” he muttered, scowling at the phone in his hand.

Exiting his truck, he made sure he had the ribbon Tavey had found in the pocket of his jeans. He was going to call someone he knew in the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, which was working on all the evidence gathered in the investigation of the paper mill where they’d found Chris and the Triplets after they’d been kidnapped last year. He wanted to know if they could check the ribbon for blood, but more than that, he wanted to know if the blood was a match to Summer Haven. There was a hairbrush in the case file that had belonged to her. He thought that would be enough to check for DNA, but he wasn’t sure. The hair in the evidence box was almost thirty years old.
