"Caroline, what the hell is going on?" Sarah de--Caleb Anderson, Ito throw you at hi I er than you knew hiht Remember how I told you I was sure I’d seen Caleb Anderson before, and you thought he looked familiar, too?"

"Yes," Sarah said warily

Caroline looked around again, then reached into the pocket of her horaph

It had been fralass to preserve it--the museum was careful with all its artifacts It was dusty, probably fro in the storerooraph An old photograph," Sarah said, taking a quick glance, then looking back at Caroline "I think it’s a Brady, and since it’s in good condition, probably very valuable"

"Look at it," Caroline insisted

Sarah did--and nearly dropped it

It was the sa at the foot of her bed

It was Caleb

In nineteenth-century garb, co pluue at the time

"The name is on the back," Caroline said "It’s Cato MacTavish MacTavish This guy owned your house, Sarah, and Caleb Anderson is his spitting i every street, we’ve searched in the water, and we’ve questioned every kid that was at the beach party before Winona Hart disappeared," Tim Jamison told Caleb "We’ve checked out the parents--because when a kid disappears, right or wrong, we look at the parents first We’ve interviewed every ex-boyfriend and all her girlfriends--we never kid ourselves Girls can be jealous and vicious" He was sitting behind his desk at the station, and now he leaned back, looking weary "We were on this faster than a brushfire If she was there to be found, ould have found her Here’s what’s really sad," he ad his hands on his desk "Last year, e started the search for Jennie Lawson, it was i to do with us Unlike you, we couldn’t find anyone who saw her after she picked up her car in Jacksonville, so we assuot here, that she went soot this far As tiic, but a one-off You and I both know that the percentage of violent criet shoved to the back burner when new criood as vanished--into thin air"

Caleb nodded "Thanks I’ here, because I think we’re looking for so after a certain physical type, and that the two cases are related"

Jamison shook his head "I don’t know I’ve only taken a few classes in behavioral criirl a year"

"Maybe he was somewhere else in between, or ested

"No one sees anything, and we’ve got nothing at all to go on," Jaluuy see well No bodies, no blood, no signs of a fight or fingerprints, footprints, no witnesses--nada"

"Criely brilliant," Caleb reuyfor the perfect victiet her But sooner or later--and I hope like hell it’s sooner--he’llto the kids from the beach You never knoill jar a ht co," Jamison told hi As if there were irl

Caleb stood and thanked hi that soe house, but he refrained, seeing as she still seemed to half believe that that so through the file he had been given He was co to do with Winona Hart’s disappearance He orking on the theory that the sairls

He had a list of the kids who had been at the party A well-organized list, with notes by each name, and the names weren’t in alphabetical order, but in an order based on who a those who had seen her last had the closest relationships with Winona

One of the boys she kneorked at an open-fronted ice-crea to the notes, he should be working now, and that orated, Caleb headed down the street
