In an attempt to find the men, they’d had to individually try every state and every possible spelling of the names. And it took a long time for the data banks to look through the records.

“How many more?” Adam asked.

“Just one,” Darci answered, yawning, wanting to go to bed. Maybe Adam was a night owl, but she wasn’t. She looked at the list that was beginning to blur before her tired eyes. “Taylor Rayburn,” she said, then yawned again. “Taylor is my—”

“Go to bed if you want to,” Adam said, taking the computer from her. “I can do this alone. Holy sh—” he began but cut himself off from cursing.

Darci had typed in the name, spelling it “Rayburn,” but the request had been redirected to “Raeburne.” There were 821 sites for “Taylor Raeburne.”

“Couldn’t be the same guy,” Adam mumbled as he clicked on the first site. “What would a superachiever like this guy obviously is be doing in Putnam? Ow! That’s my foot you’re on.”

“Is it?” Darci asked. “And what did you say about Putnam?”

“Man, boy, or town?” Adam asked, his eyes intent on the screen; then, suddenly, he drew back and turned the computer around for her to see. He had pulled up a beautiful Web site with “Taylor Raeburne” in big blue letters that moved across the screen. On the left was a list of choices that were contained within the Web site. “Taylor Raeburne, author of forty-two books on the occult,” the screen read.

“You don’t think….” Darci began.

“That he’s a warlock and into evil?” Adam finished for her.

“Are you reading my mind again?” she asked, trying to inject some humor into the situation.

“No. That was from my own mind.” He scrolled down the list, looking for a bio on the author. When he saw the word biography at the bottom of the list, he put the cursor on it, then looked at Darci. “Ready?”

“Sure,” she said. “Why not? As you said, what would a man like him be doing in Putnam? I’m sure that all he did was stop at the filling station and my aunt put his name on the list. I can assure you that my mother isn’t one to like men who write books. She likes— Oh, my goodness,” Darci said.

On the screen had come up a large photo of a man. And even to Darci, her resemblance to him was clear. It was her face, older and quite masculine, but it was, indeed, Darci’s face.

She fell back against the couch, her eyes wide in shock, unable to speak. All she could do was stare at the picture on the screen.

“I think we found him,” Adam said, and there was elation in his voice. “You’re a dead ringer for him.

You know that old saying that the first child always looks like the father. In this case—”When he looked at Darci, he stopped talking. “Are you all right?”

She didn’t answer but just kept staring at the photo on the screen, so Adam clicked on exit, shut down the system, and closed the computer.
