Chapter 9 - THE MAN WHO SHOULD HAVE BEEN DEAD

They sought refuge with retired federal investigator Thomas Reed.

Reed had investigated Arthur Vance’s death twenty years earlier.

Officially, his case had been closed.

Unofficially, he had never stopped investigating.

When Chloe showed him the DNA report, Reed became silent.

Then he opened a safe.

Inside was a photograph.

Arthur Vance.

Rebecca Hale.

And another man.

Chloe recognized him.

Her own father.

Michael Bennett.

A man who supposedly died when Chloe was nine.

Reed looked at her.

“Your father isn't dead.”
