Jared had gotten hold of Garret while he and Katy had been at the bar waiting for me to talk to Peter. Now, a few hours later, we were in the conference room at Sleeping Bear Design, meeting with him to tell him what my friend George had found out about user access.

Garret frowned and then drummed his fingers on his desk for a moment as if to gather his thoughts. “And this guy is sure the username was SBD1?” he asked. I could tell he didn’t know what to make of this information.

“He’s sure,” I said. “Said it was the only user in the system who had ever accessed anything using that method. So why would your dad do that?”

Garret shook his head. “He wouldn’t. That’s why this makes no sense. My dad is about the least tech-savvy person I know. Doesn’t even like email. Used to dictate to Gemma, his secretary, most of his correspondence because he was such a bad typist. He prefers to use the phone and has been very resistant to technology. I think it’s part of what pushed him to retire. He knew that technology was taking over in the design area as well as the business area, and I think it bothered him. He wouldn’t know the first thing about logging into the system in the normal way, much less in a secret way. There’s no way he did this.”

“Then who might he have given his username and password to?” I asked, thinking that would be the best place to start.

“Gemma, but as you know, she retired when he did and moved to Florida. She worked for him over twenty years and only stayed the last two because my father begged her not to leave him and to stay until he retired, so I would count her out. She was very loyal. Other than that, no one would have a need for his information. And he wasn’t the type to just share. She was the only one privy to his private information. He trusted her implicitly. I don’t even know his password. You got me on this one. I have no idea how this could happen or who could be behind it.”

“Could you call him?” Katy asked. “See if he has any idea who could be behind this?”

“He’s somewhere off the coast of Greece until after the New Year, and when he called to yell at me, he said he wouldn’t have cell service for a few days,” Garret said. “I can email him, but I doubt he will check often. My mom made him promise he would actually remember he was retired, and like I said, he’s not a fan of email.”

“Then I think we should pay a visit to these three companies who stole your clients. See how they came up with their designs. See if maybe we can find a connection that way. Do you have a problem with that, Garret?” I asked, mentally kicking myself for not doing this sooner.
