SHE FLIPPED TO the next photo on Grant’s phone. Elle’s breath caught in her throat. This man in the photo collage from the senator had also been standing in Catherine’s living room the day she had disappeared. The photo of the third man, who was identified as Jazz, was the only one of the group she didn’t recognize.

The contractor, Philip, was the man she’d seen smoking a cigar. She closed her eyes, trying to recreate the last image she could recall of the living room and where the men had been standing when she’d last seen them. Steve had been across the room with the group of men, but she couldn’t recall what he had been wearing or if he had said anything to her.

There was the sound of footsteps approaching in the distance, and she looked up and watched as the senator returned. He had a smile on his face and gave them a small wave. “The email help at all?” he asked.

Grant returned the man’s smile and gave him a stiff nod. “Interesting. We will definitely look into things.” He reached into his pocket and withdrew Catherine’s cell phone; it was bagged and tagged for evidence. “I was actually hoping you could help me with one more thing before I hit you with too many questions. Do you know the passcode for your wife’s mobile device?”

The senator reached up and ran his hand over his neck, unintentionally covering his weak point. He was stressed. Daisy would do the same thing—cower and cover her neck—if she was upset or concerned for her safety. It was an instinctual move, and Elle had even caught herself doing it sometimes. Yet the senator doing it in this moment struck her as odd. Why would opening up his wife’s phone make him uncomfortable?

“I don’t know if I can get you in, but I guess I could try.” He held out his hand. “You think there’s anything on there that could help point you in the right direction, as far as possible suspects go?”

“Don’t take it out of the bag.” Grant handed the phone over. “As you well know, we’re just trying to put some pieces together here. We are trying our hardest to get to the bottom of this case and find justice for your wife as well as locate Lily.”

Taking the phone, the senator tapped in a series of numbers. He opened it on his third try and, as it opened, he chuckled and handed the phone back to Grant. “The code is 062510. I’m sorry. I thought the feds already gave this to you.”

“What is that?”

“Our wedding anniversary.” The senator smiled. “Catherine was always a wonderful wife.” As he spoke, his voice cracked with emotion.

Grant nodded. “From everything I’ve heard about your wife from the witnesses we all have interviewed, it sounds as though you were a very lucky man. I am sorry for your loss.”

The senator nodded, clearing his throat. “You guys have anything on Lily yet? The
