BY THE TIME Angel and I got off the flight from Florida, we were barely speaking. During the flight, she’d told me about the time she spent with Beau, once more insisting on his innocence, but I wasn’t so willing to turn a blind eye to the facts. One thing I was certain of was that I was about ready to put Angel straight back on a plane headed home. I didn’t need her in North Carolina as an extra responsibility.

Worries spun through me at the thoughts of Angel being alone and unprotected when I couldn’t be there. What if it wasn’t Beau who knew what had happened to Phoebe, and some creep around the apartment building was planning on taking advantage of Angel’s presence to cause more issues? What if it was Beau and he was able to make it all the way up to the apartment door and lure Angel out on the pretence of innocence? If Angel was home—and safe—it would be one less concern for me.

Although my plan had been to try to get her straight on a flight as soon as possible, at any cost, it didn’t work that way. Angel insisted on staying through until the end of her booked trip, even if that meant she left to stay in a hotel, which would only add to my worries. She was as stubborn as Phoebe at times, and it meant I had to suck it up and look after her regardless of my own concerns.

We settled into somewhat of an uneasy truce on Saturday night that lasted into Sunday. Around midday Sunday, she came out into the living room and flicked on the TV to watch the end of the Daytona race.

The announcers speculated about Beau and the rumours surrounding Phoebe’s disappearance. They showed footage from earlier that day, of Beau being booed as he trailed the other driver—the one in Phoebe’s car—through a crowd. Angel shot me a look that suggested I should have had some sympathy for him, but I couldn’t find any. Not really. Not while Phoebe was still missing. Maybe she was right, and he was innocent, but I couldn’t trust him.

Before the race was even finished, I had a phone call from the private investigator. He said he had some new information regarding Beau and his ex-girlfriend, Cassidee. After giving me a brief rundown on his belief that she was indeed carrying Beau’s child, despite Beau’s denials, Darnell said he wanted to follow up on a couple of leads and talk again Monday afternoon. After he’d agreed to meet me at Phoebe’s apartment to show me his evidence and run through the next stage of his investigations, Angel appeared from behind me. Evidently, she’d been standing behind me through the phone call and pounced the second we’d hung up.

“Why are you so pig-headed that you’ll only follow this one lead?”

Her words echoed my own worries. What if I was following the lead only to ignore something obvious about someone
