Chapter 15

We have to figure out what she was hiding, Berklie,” I said to her as we were talking on the phone. I had called her when I left Sylvia’s house to tell her I thought I’d seen someone snooping around.

“Are you sure she was hiding something? Maybe you’re being paranoid.”

“No, I am not being paranoid. Tonight completely convinced me. Obviously, I’m not the only one who thought she was hiding something in her house. People don’t go looking in someone’s house at night with a flashlight unless they don’t want people to know they are in there. Plus, no one should be in her house besides the cops. So who was it and why?”

“Good point. Are you going to tell Clive?”

“And say what? Tell him we went into Sylvia’s house and I was stalking her house tonight. It’s not like I have anything to tell him.”

“Then what do we do now?

“That’s where I’m stuck. We already looked through her house and didn’t find anything. We don’t have access to her cell phone or email and…”

“What a minute!” Berklie said.

“What?”

“I have an idea.”

“Okay, what is it?”

“We should hack into her email. That’s usually a person’s most widely used mode of communication with people outside their immediate proximity, well, besides Facebook. And we already know she doesn’t have a Facebook account, which I still find odd.”

“Not only is that illegal, I assume. But none of us have the faintest idea how to hack into someone’s email.”

“We already broke into her house, and you seemed fine with that. Is it so much of a stretch to try and break into her email?”

“Okay, Berklie. I’ll give you that, but the second issue still stands. How do suppose we get into her email? Do you have hacking skills I don’t know about?”

“You’re not thinking.”

“How am I not thinking?” I was confused. I had no idea what she was getting at.

“Remember a few months back when you caught that high school kid using the computers at the library hacking into the high school database?”

I had forgotten that. “I do now, but what does that have to do with us?”

“Trixie, if he could hack into the school database, surely he has the skills to get into Sylvia’s email account?”

“You want me to ask a kid to break the law? Don’t you think that’s pushing it a little?”

I could hear Berklie sigh on the other end of the phone. “He’s already done it once that you know of, and be real, probably many more times. He just doesn’t do it at the library anymore. He owes you.”

“I don’t want him to think he owes me. I thought he deserved a break.” The cops had traced the database break-in to the library computers. As they were always in use and at the time we didn’t make people sign in and out for their time, they couldn’t pinpoint who did it. And there were a number of teenagers capable. I just knew it had been Alex from the way he looked at me when the cops were talking to everyone.
