call buzzed in.
Detective Lane. She told her friend a quick goodbye and took the detective’s call. “Have you found Lacy and Lila?”
“Unfortunately, no.”
Her spirit plunged. “What about the construction workers involved in the remodeling project? Did you check them out?”
“We’re working on it, but at this point it doesn’t appear that any of them have a criminal record.”
Desperation forced her to ignore Adam’s words of caution. She had to do something, and Lane could probably make the arrangements quicker than she could on her own.
“I want to go on television and plead for the girls’ safe return,” she said.
There was a long, silent pause before the detective responded. “We can discuss that possibility.”
“I don’t need to discuss the possibility. My mind’s made up. The only question is will you help me arrange it or should I proceed on my own?”
“I’ll set it up, Hadley, but we need to talk first. Do you mind if I call you Hadley?”
“Please do, and I’m not questioning your expertise or your methods, Detective. But unless you can assure me that you have a credible lead in finding Lacy and Lila, I insist we go forward with the TV spots immediately. There is no time to waste and no reason to talk about it.”
“I agree, but we have a new development in the case.”
She held her breath, a wave of dread rushing through her. If this was bad news... “What’s the development?”
“Someone claiming to be the kidnapper has made contact.”
