I nodded, already making a mental note of who to contact.
My phone buzzed with an incoming text. If it was Lance trying to weasel out of it, I would make him regret it. The moment I saw who it was, my anger dissipated. I’d been so busy since we returned, I hadn’t had a chance to let him know how it went.
TERRI
Hey, are you back from Bali yet?
JARETH
We are. Just got back yesterday.
TERRI
How did it go with Bill?
I’d been so wrapped up in Hazel I’d forgotten to message him after we met with Bill.
JARETH
He didn’t know anything.
Even though reaching out to Bill seemed like a wild goose chase, it still seemed there was something I was missing.
TERRI
I’m sorry. I really thought we’d catch a break with him.
JARETH
Not your fault. If we’re patient the Sultons will slip up at some point. We’ll get them for it then.
TERRI
Keep me posted.
JARETH
I will. Before I forget, I found a key in one of my dad’s books. Do you know what it might go to?
TERRI
A key?
JARETH
I don’t recognize it. I’ll send you a pic of it later when I get home. Maybe you'll recognize it.
I’d been obsessing over this key since we found it. My instincts told me it was important.
TERRI
I’ll keep my eyes open for it. Not sure I can help, but I’ll try. You coming to my NYE celebration?
JARETH
Haven’t decided yet.
TERRI
