A secure tone sounds from my phone.

I answer.

“Campbell.”

“Sean, it's Vega.”

I look at Taylor.

He turns toward me.

“What happened?”

“We have Daniel Price.”

Hayley's investigator.

“Where?”

“State police picked him up forty minutes ago outside Las Vegas.”

“Why?”

A pause.

“That depends on which charge you want to start with.”

My attention sharpens.

“Explain.”

“Price has been on the radar of a federal task force for almost two years.”

“For what?”

“Selling information.”

“What kind of information?”

“Whatever people paid for.”

My stomach tightens.

Vega continues.

“Addresses. Employment records. Financial information. Police reports. Information on witnesses.”

I look toward the hallway.

Hayley trusted this man to find her daughter.

“What does that have to do with Sage?”

“We're still determining that.”

“You found photographs.”

“Hundreds.”
