Jordan walked through the open-office floor plan of the TBI headquarters, surprised it was already half past two. And surprised that Garrett was still sitting in front of the computer where she’d left him over an hour ago. After comparing notes with the officers who’d canvassed the neighborhood where Marissa had gone missing, Sam and Michaels had left to go speak with the woman who’d witnessed Marissa leaving the library. Jordan had spoken briefly with her boss, then decided to go pick up lunch for the two of them.

She stopped in front of his desk. Garrett looked up from his computer screen to the takeout bags she was carrying.

“Thought you might like a late lunch. I was craving a spinach veggie wrap,” she said.

He wrinkled his nose.

“Don’t worry.” She set a bag down next to him, along with two bottles of water. “I got you the Reuben sandwich. Half a pound of corned beef, Swiss, and sauerkraut, and fries.”

“Ah . . . you’re the best,” he said, pulling the sandwich from the sack and breathing in the aroma.

She laughed. “I know. I figured that would make you happy.”

She didn’t even try to stop the memories that surfaced. The deli two blocks from the police station had always been a favorite hangout of theirs. Sometimes they’d eat in. Other times they’d grab takeout and watch a movie at her apartment. She always ordered the spinach veggie wrap. He always ordered the Reuben.

“I didn’t think I was hungry,” he said, “but I’m just smelling this and my stomach’s already starting to growl. You’re a lifesaver.”

“You look exhausted.”

He leaned back in his chair. “I didn’t sleep much last night. I want this guy caught, but it’s the same old problem.” He unwrapped his sandwich and took a handful of fries. “Everything so far leads us to a dead end. The security cameras at the library weren’t working, our witness didn’t get a close look at the guy . . .”

“There’s got to be something we’re missing,” Jordan said. “Nobody’s this smart. He had to have made some kind of mistake. And hopefully the witness will end up remembering something that will help.”

“In the meantime,” he said, “I think we need to consider reinterviewing the families of the other girls. We need to find a common denominator that connects them, beside the fact that they’re all teen girls with long blonde hair.”

“I agree, but Sam called me as I pulled into the parking lot,” Jordan said, taking a sip of her water. “He needs us to follow up on another lead that just got called in.”

“What is it?”

“A woman was watching the news this morning and said she saw Marissa. No license plate, but she can give a description of the vehicle.”

Another photo popped up on Garrett’s computer screen. He was clearly not listening to what she was saying.

“Garrett? You’ve been sitting here for hours, like you’re on to something. What’s up?”

“I’m not sure yet.”

“But you think it might be something. I know that look of yours.
