Chapter 21: Kiera
The care home smelled of lemon polish and boiled carrots.
Kiera's mother sat in a wheelchair by the window with a blanket over her knees and one hand curled in her lap.
She had Kiera's long jaw and the same dark, careful eyes.
"Mrs. Tolan," said the nurse, bending. "These people are friends of your daughter."
The old woman looked at me for a long time.
"You're the one on the television," she said, slowly, dragging the words up one at a time.
"Yes."
"Kiera said you'd come."
"Where is she?"
"A man in a black car." Her good hand shook. "Five. In the morning. She went with him."
"Did she say anything?"
"She said, 'Tell her I'm in the house with the study.'" She frowned. "'Tell her she knows the door.'"
Jarrett and I looked at each other over the wheelchair.
"Westlake," he said.
"She went willingly?" Odessa asked.
"She went calm," said the nurse. "That frightened me more."
The old woman caught my sleeve.
"She never wanted your name," she said. "She wanted her own."
I put my hand over hers.
