“So you want me to use police resources to have you moved again? Because you keep magically crossing paths with the killer, even though you have no idea who he could be?”

“I’m not saying that,” Izabel said.

“Which part?”

“I’m not saying you should move us again.”

“What?” Kaito said.

“You should use me as bait,” she said.

“We haven’t talked about this,” Kaito said.

“The rest of my family could stay at Andy’s house.”

“No—” Kaito said.

“Just you?” Paz interrupted.

“Just me.”

“You can’t decide where the girls will be staying,” Opa interjected sharply. When she spoke again, her voice was softer. “I’m going to be interviewing Jana and Cami and making a determination about whether there is a concern about their welfare. I will also be interviewing each of you separately.”

“Tell me again, the bit about your daughter’s dreams,” Paz said.

“She sleep-talks about the killer,” Kaito said.

“What’s that like?”

“Her eyes are closed and it sounds like she’s holding a conversation,” he said. “Recently, she’s been saying details about where, exactly, he is.”

“That’s how you knew where he was?”

“Jana heard Cami and ran out into the street to look for him.”

“You knew about other attacks?”

“Kind of. Vaguely. Except the one before this. That time she said he was near our old house.”

“You didn’t call me then?”

“We didn’t know what to say. It sounded ridiculous.”

“It does sound ridiculous.” Paz tapped the table. She turned to Opa. “I want the girl in a sleep study.”

“I’m not sure—”

“I want her in a sleep study tonight, and I want you there observing.”

“Okay,” Opa said.

“And any specialist you think you need with you.”

“I’ll see to it.”

“I have to go. I’m going to interview Jana before Opa does. I want to stop seeing you two, but it doesn’t look like that’s going to happen anytime soon, does it?”

“She’s a minor,” Kaito said. “Don’t we have to be there?”

“Not when there are concerns for her safety,” Paz said. And she left.

Opa said, “I’ll let you observe my interviews with the girls after I’m done interviewing each of you.”

“What’s the sleep study like?” Izabel asked.

“We’ll put a few sensors on Cami to monitor her as she sleeps. We’ll also watch her and record her. You can sleep in the room with her, either of you.”

“Even if we’re found unfit?”

“Yes. If you’re not there, and she has trouble sleeping, that could throw off the study. Unless Cami doesn’t want you there, but I have a feeling that isn’t the case.”

“You don’t think we’re dangerous?”

“I think that if you are dangerous, it’s not in a way that Cami would recognize.”

“I love her. We love them both.”
