The police came and took me to the station. They showed me footage of the man who tried to take me. I told them about the conversation with the first man and how he called Eric, Maddock MacKenny. I’ve been sitting in an interrogation room by myself for over an hour, but it’s more than six hours since Eric was taken. The door is open, and people look in on me from time to time, and finally, the sheriff comes in, closes the door, and sits down.

“We did some digging. It appears Eric Hill is an alias for Maddock MacKenny.” He searches my face looking for something. “You didn’t know, did you?”

“No, Sheriff, I didn’t. I don’t know him that well. We’ve been out a couple of times. He’s been working at the garage. Do they know anything?” Heat infuses my face as I think about Eric and me in bed.

“Call me, Frank. We’ve spoken to the owner of the garage, and he doesn’t know anything. All we’ve managed to find is this.” He opens a folder and flips over a photograph of Eric. He’s in a suit, smiling, looking happy, standing next to a group of men. “This is Maddock MacKenny, does he look like Eric?”

“Yes, it’s him. A little younger but—”

“Maddock MacKenny is dead. Well, that’s what the feds tell us, which is weird they’d even know.”

“What does that mean?”

“It means he’s in witness protection. Well, that’s what we think it means.” Frank runs a hand over his face and looks at me. “Maddock was killed along with his sister in a car bombing three years ago. If this is him, it’s the only explanation.”

“Have you talked to the feds?” I ask.

“We have. So far, we’re getting nowhere. The car Eric… Maddock… whoever the hell he is, got into didn’t have plates. We’re running the faces of those two men through facial recognition, but it takes time. You should go home, Miss Lake. We’ll let you know if we find anything. I can have one of my officers drop you off.”

I stand. “Thank you, Sheriff… I mean Frank. I appreciate it.”

Frank escorts me out the front to a waiting deputy, and he drives me home. I live only a little out of town, so it doesn’t take long. When we pull up, I climb out of the cruiser, and the deputy waits until I’ve unlocked my front door and opened it, then he drives away.

I close the door and lean against it, grateful to be home and surrounded by my things. I take two steps inside the door when I realize I’m not alone. Turning, I open the door, but someone slams it shut.

“Be calm. We aren’t here to hurt you. All we want to know is… is Maddock alive?”

My heart feels like it’s in my throat. Someone turns on a light, and I’m staring at a hand with long fingers and he’s holding the door shut. I close my eyes, scared. If I don’t see their faces, they might let me go.
