Chapter 16: The Tabby
"Ben!"
He came down the stairs in his boxers and one sock, his glasses crooked.
He looked at the empty kennel.
Then he went straight out the side door in his sock and lifted the clay pot of dead geraniums beside the step.
There was nothing under it.
"The spare key," he said. "My sister keeps it under there. Five years. Nobody knows about it."
"A kitten knows about it," I said.
He looked at me.
"Jenna lived here for three days in March," I said. "She sat in that window and watched everything."
"Who's Jenna?"
I closed my mouth.
"The ragdoll," I said. "That's what I call her."
My phone buzzed on the counter, where I'd left it charging.
A text from Bradley's number.
It was a photo.
The tabby, in a gilded cage like a giant birdcage, on a stone terrace with Central Park spread out green behind her.
Under it, one line.
found ur cat :) ask ur fiance
A second text came while I was still staring.
The old man's assistant. A formal message with a little logo at the top.
Your fiancé requests the pleasure of your company at four o'clock today, to receive an engagement gift. Photographs will be taken.
