Judy laid another sheet beneath the contact page.

Judy kept shading.

More letters emerged.

Almost appeared.

Only the first two letters remained clear.

Silence.

"So close," Wolf muttered.

Judy wasn't disappointed.

She was smiling.

Mace noticed.

"You're happy."

"We don't need the whole name."

Sheriff Tate frowned.

"We don't?"

She shook her head.

"No."
