When Darcy arrived at home she was still scared, still looking over her shoulder for the boys in black. She did a complete check of her house, locking windows, and had her cell number changed. It didn’ t feel like enough, and she wondered when she wouldn’ t have to behave like a fleeing convict all the time. She sent another e-mail to the Cassandras, telling them the little she’ d learned and that the source, Touchy Feeley, was not reliable. She’ d have to find Cleo Patra to prove it and would go looking in a couple days. She also warned them about the danger that was nearly on her doorstep and was possibly coming to theirs.

She was tempted to confess her past right then, but the roadblocks weren’ t cleared away yet. She was still a parental kidnapper and involving them directly would expose them to aiding and abetting charges. She couldn’ t do that to them. Kayla, who knew the most, probably could guess how she was feeling. But she wasn’ t ready to talk openly about it with the Cassandras, no matter how much she wanted their support right now.

Besides, all her theories about Maurice were just that, theories. She was hoping that document expert Loni Marks would shine some favorable light on the papers she’ d taken from Maurice’ s safe. If she didn’ t, Darcy was really going to need the Cassandras’ help. Because if Jack had seen her and Charlie on TV, there was a chance that Maurice might have, too. Her son would need more protection than just herself, and although Maurice wouldn’ t know Charlie by sight— he’ d been an infant when she left— Athena Academy and Rainy’ s name might clue him in.

After a long workday, Darcy sat in Loni Marks’ s lab in the basement of her home, sipping vanilla coffee as Loni examined the papers. For Loni to confirm anything, she’ d needed the original documents, and Marianna Vasquez had agreed without hesitation. Darcy had given her a post-office box to mail the papers to, and Marianna hadn’ t questioned its location. Darcy had, after all, portrayed herself as a freelance writer.

As Darcy watched Loni work, she was fascinated by the woman’ s methods. Not only was she a handwriting expert who could detect forgeries with ease, she was equipped to test ink and paper and could tell how many people had handled the paper and if different pens were used. Darcy was more than impressed.

Loni was certified by the American Board of Forensic Document Examiners and had worked for the U.S. Treasury Department, Secret Service for ten years, spotting bogus currency. Retired and at the disposal of police departments from Comanche to Las Vegas, Loni was called in on anything from counterfeit and forged documents to ones charred beyond recognition.

She must be more than just a yoga partner, Darcy thought, smiling. Loni was doing this on her own time as a favor to Megan.

Darcy was grateful for the help and had offered to pay her.
