Chapter 5 - THE WOMAN WHO WAS NEVER SUPPOSED TO RETURN

The FBI agent immediately looked at Rachel.

“Did she say her mother was alive?”

Emily nodded.

“She told me to stay quiet.”

Rachel knelt beside her.

“Where is your mother now?”

Emily’s eyes filled with tears.

“I don’t know.”

Victoria suddenly moved toward the door.

The agent stopped her.

“Mrs. Victoria.”

“You’re not leaving.”

Victoria stared at him.

“You have no idea who you’re dealing with.”

The agent answered calmly.

“I know exactly who I’m dealing with.”

“A woman terrified of what a six-year-old might reveal.”

That sentence destroyed Victoria’s confidence.

David watched silently.

Rachel noticed.

“David.”

“What happened to Emily’s mother?”

David looked away.

“I didn’t know she would disappear.”

The room went silent.

Rachel whispered.

“You helped her disappear.”

David’s face turned pale.

Before he could answer.

Emily pointed toward a drawer.

“There is something inside.”

Rachel opened it.

Inside was an old photograph.
