colpì Riley per come apparisse il perfetto capo della polizia di una piccola cittadina. Aveva anche la carnagione rossastra di un uomo che era stato esposto a tutte le intemperie tipiche del Midwest. Riley era certa che avesse vissuto in quella parte del paese, forse persino in quella stessa cittadina, per tutta la sua vita.

      Riley ricordò che suo fratello era Forrest Sinard, l’assistente esecutivo del direttore dell’FBI. Aveva incontrato Forrest Sinard alcune volte, e le era sembrato un tipo arguto e sofisticato, ben distante dal classico campagnolo. Si chiese come i due fratelli avessero finito per seguire due percorsi lavorativi tanto diversi.

      Un uomo e una donna seduti in fondo alla stanza erano al centro dell’attenzione di tutti i presenti. Il Capo Sinard presentò Riley e Jenn ai genitori di Katy, Drew e Lisa Philbin.

      Lisa sembrò a malapena consapevole della presenza delle due agenti.

      “Perché no?” continuava a chiedere al marito. “Perché non posso?”

      “Sarebbe meglio di no, tesoro” Drew continuava a ripetere, stringendole forte le mani. “Credimi, è meglio così.”

      “Se non ora, allora quando?”

      “Non so. Presto forse. Ma non ancora.”

      Riley comprese subito ciò che stava accadendo. Ricordò che il Capo Sinard aveva fatto cenno al fatto che Drew era stato al campo di George Tully per identificare il corpo della figlia. Ora, anche sua moglie voleva vederlo, ma Drew intendeva risparmiarle l’orrore, almeno per il momento.

      Lisa si guardò intorno in una dolorosa confusione.

      “Lei è mia figlia, e io sono sua madre” disse, inghiottendo un singhiozzo. “Katy ha bisogno di me. Dov’è?”

      Riley provò un senso di compassione.

      Rifiuto, lei pensò.

      Ci sarebbe voluto un po’ di tempo, prima che la realtà della morte della figlia di Lisa avesse la meglio.

      Nel frattempo, Riley immaginò che lei e Jenn avrebbero dovuto rivolgere la maggior parte delle domande a Drew.

      Esordì: “Signor Philbin, siamo terribilmente dispiaciute per la sua perdita, e odiamo disturbarla. Ma io e la mia collega avremmo bisogno di porle alcune domande.”
