HER BEDROOM

WE'RE NOT ALLOWED TO SLEEP with our doors locked. Mr. Steckerman turned my knob at nine o'clock, nine thirty, and ten, having gotten wise to the fact that I had information for Mr. Montu. He kept asking in his kindest voice what it was and wouldn't I please share it with him. I wondered if Aleese had been off badgering him, as she had been strangely silent after I came into my room. But he looked completely sane—tired, but more sane than I felt.

I merely gripped my laptop, staring off into space, feeling like I was falling off a cliff. Around ten, an e-mail dropped into my box, and I all but lunged for it, thinking maybe Tyler or the Kid had sent one last thing that had wandered through cyberspace before arriving. It was from Jeremy Ireland, and I saw in the subject line, "Re: Thanks for Further Help." I had titled my e-mail of this afternoon as that, just before Scott and I drove over to Griffith's Landing.

Cora, I have been agonizing over the situation with your father since I left you in St. Ann's and you'd asked if I were he. I do know something about your father, which I definitely do not want to share. However, I don't feel it is my place to keep it from you.
