Chapter 95

Carter looked at Sharon, his eyes deep and still as a midnight pond.

“Sharon, that phone number doesn’t belong to Kelly. And the person who sent those texts never claimed to be her. You can’t prove they came from her.”

Sharon answered calmly, “But who else besides Kelly would know you were the one who took Wendy? She asked to meet me at a café the day after Wendy went missing. She mentioned she knew Wendy’s whereabouts clearly in the texts. What-do you think Kelly and I are such good friends we’d just meet for coffee like that?”

Gazing down at her, Carter asked, “Are you sure Kelly really met you?”

Sharon nodded. “I’m sure.”

“Alright. I’ll have someone look into it right now.”
