(Mr. Blake)
My phone rang at exactly six in the morning. I was already awake, sitting at my desk in the home office with a cup of coffee. I had been up since five thirty waiting for this call.
I picked up the phone. "Steven."
"Good morning, sir," Steven said. "I have the enhanced image ready. I'm sending it to you now."
"Good," I said. "Send it."
I heard the notification on my phone. I opened the message and downloaded the image. It took a few seconds to load. When it did, I zoomed in.
There she was.
Clear as day.
Serena Vale.
She was standing behind two trees, partially hidden, but the enhanced image showed her face. Her hair. Her clothes. Everything. There was no mistaking who it was.
I stared at the image for a long moment. I had suspected it was her. Luca had suspected it too
