He frowned. “I thought she was dead,” he said. Obviously he'd been keeping up with the case.

“If she is then we need some proof of that, death notice, obituary, whatever. Vital statistics has no record of her death, though, so we're thinking she still might be alive.”

“Whoa, a real mystery. I can't believe no one would have checked that, though. Where's she been all this time? And why did she leave in the first place?”

“We don't know where she is, that's what we're trying to find out. And we know that her husband was abusive to Caleb, so it's possible that he abused her too and she ran to escape it.”

“And left her kid behind?”

I shrugged. “It happens.”

“Ok,” he said, sounding a little less enthusiastic than he had before. Maybe the reality of the situation was starting to sink in. “I'll see what I can come up with. It may take me a while to go through his files though. You might have to give me a few days.”

“Why don't I give you my card and you can call me when you have something?”

“Good idea.”

I dug out a card and handed it to him. He studied it a moment then looked up with that charming and disarming smile of his. “Is this a home number or a work number?” he asked.

My heart skipped a beat as I tried to figure out if he was flirting with me or if that was just his personality. “Work,” I finally managed to spit out. “Uh, do you have a card or something? I don't even know your name.”

“Oh! Geez, how could I be so stupid?” he exclaimed. “My name is Micah, Micah Gerber, like the baby food,” he said as he rummaged through his wallet.

That name rang a bell but I couldn't quite place it. Where had I heard it before?

“Ah, here we go,” he said as he produced a slightly tattered business card and presented it to me on his open palm with a flourish.

With an amused smile I picked up his card and looked at it. As I did I suddenly remembered where I had heard his name before. About a month ago when Kane had tried to fix me up with the cute reporter he'd met at the library. He had been sure that he was gay. Could it be that this beautiful guy really was flirting with me? I raised my eyes to study his face.

“Um, why are you looking at me like that?” he asked, sounding slightly self-conscious.

“You're gay, aren't you?” I asked.
