Chapter Twenty-One

Thirty minutes later, Jackson and I sat on a wooden pew in the small, traditional church my father had attended.

I always felt close to my dad when I was in this sanctuary with its beautiful stained-glass windows and glossy wood trim. The connection my dad had with this place was the original reason I’d come here in the first place. I’d wanted to find out anything I could about my dad’s last days in this area before he disappeared.

But sitting on this pew took me back in time to my childhood. To my roots. To what was important.

And now I hated to miss a service. I loved the spirit of the people here. The sense of community. The wisdom and reminder of a higher purpose in life.

Halfway through the service, my phone buzzed. It took everything in me not to check it right then and there. But as soon as the last song was sung, I excused myself and checked my messages. Two older ladies caught Jackson and began chatting with him, giving me a moment of privacy.

It was from Annette. Another clue had been posted on the #JoeyRocks page.

I quickly clicked over to see it.

It was another rock with a similar color scheme to the first. The clue that had been left: Examine the 257.

What did that mean?

I closed my eyes, tired of these games. Yet I knew I couldn’t let this go. I punched in “257 + OuterBanks” into my search engine.

Wouldn’t you know, the Cape Hatteras lighthouse just happened to have 257 steps?

“What are you doing?” Jackson asked, joining me.

I showed him my phone screen.

“Another one, huh?”

I nodded. “I don’t know about you, but I know where I’m heading.”
