"DOB... partially illegible."

Then my eyes landed on the next line.

Emergency placement requested by Camp Eagle River Counselor Emily Ross.

My heart skipped.

Emily had done it.

She'd reported Eliza.

She hadn't just promised to help.

She had tried.

Tears filled Rylie's eyes.

“Maybe Emily saved her.”

"Maybe she did."

Mace reached over and quietly squeezed my hand beneath the table.

Just for a second.

Just enough to remind me I wasn't carrying this alone.

I looked up at him.

He smiled.

That same smile I'd fallen in love with years ago.

Carson cleared his throat.

"I think there's more."

I turned the page.

At the bottom...

The placement destination had been blacked out with thick marker.

Someone had tried to erase it.

But whoever had done it hadn't noticed the carbon copy underneath.

Only a few letters remained visible.

...Fairbanks, Alaska

No one spoke.

Sheriff Tate looked at me.

"Can you find her?"

I smiled.
