The next morning, in the vault area of the small bank Richard had chosen, Jennifer reached into the long rectangular safety deposit box and pulled out a standard-size manila envelope, eight-and-a-half by eleven, plain and unmarked. Instead of opening it herself, however, she handed it to Jerome.

"Please," she whispered. "You look."

Without preamble he ripped the end of the envelope off and upended the contents onto the table. A smaller envelope fell out, the kind one receives from the drugstore with developed pictures in it. He pushed back the flap and a pack of photographs slid into his hand.

One after the other Jerome whisked through them, then he handed them to Jennifer. "What are they?"

Sifting through them, she murmured, "These are the pictures that Richard and I took on our trip to Switzerland."

Jerome shook his head. "It doesn’t make sense that Richard would rent a safe deposit box merely to store pictures of you and him. Look closely at them. There must be something special. Some clue in at least one of them."

"You’re right. But at first glance there doesn’t seem to be anything at all in these pictures that’s out of the ordinary. I remember the circumstances under which every one of these pictures were taken, and there is nothing here that shouldn’t be." She smiled down at the images. "Richard and I had a good time on the trip. And I– "

"You what?"

"I miss him."

"I know you do, honey. It’s only natural. From what you’ve told me about him, he sounds like a good man.

"He was. And he was smart. Which is why I’m pretty sure that these pictures aren’t just a red herring, because I’m the only other person who knew about this box. Whatever Richard put here is valuable enough to kill for."

"Perhaps the answer lies in the negatives or even in the envelope itself," Jerome said. "But my money says there’s a microdot someplace on either the pictures, the negatives, or the envelope. Maybe two. At any rate, I have a friend who works in a laboratory who will analyze this for us." His arms went around her and he pulled her close into him until he could feel every curve and bone in her body imprinted against him. "Don’t worry," he whispered. "We’re a long way from being licked."
