case, Keith would be back the day after tomorrow. She could discuss this matter with him then. She would not find peace during this time if she did not handle Barron's side of things properly. She did not want to be tormented by Barron and Hackett any longer. The memory of Hackett erecting that empty tombstone for Alex embarrassed her deeply, but she could not reveal the truth.
