The silence that met this comment sounded like victory to Rachel. She honestly did not like to be so direct and forward when it came to this sort of personal information, but she did not see that she had any other choice, given the circumstances.

Youre right, Jergens said, though it was abundantly clear that she was not happy to admit such a thing. Ill get a list together and send it over within the hour. But Ill also be sending a form for you to sign indicating that youll do nothing outside of this case with the information.

Of course. Thank you, Dr. Jergens.

She ended the call with a restless hope in her heart. She felt that this hunch was a strong one and there would, at the very least, be answers to be found there. She did her best to keep looking through Facebook groups and the existing paperwork as they waited for Jergenss email.

It came twenty-two minutes later, and Jack printed it off right away. The list was much shorter than Rachel had expected; it consisted of just a single sheet of paper with thirty-nine names. Jack also handed Rachel the other form Jergens had mentioned. She signed it without really even looking at it, her eyes and full attention already on the list of thirty-nine women Jergens had sent over.

How many names on the Greenfield list? she asked Jack.

Twenty-six. And according to the administrative assistant I spoke with, she said she did not think the chances of a woman going to two different clinics would be very high. The sheer cost of it alone would be a significant deterrent, even with insurance kicking in.

Rachel scanned Regencys list, quickly eyeing each of the thirty-nine names. Okay, so lets compare, she said. Your list is shorter, so you read the names off to me.

He did, starting with a woman named Alyssa Colewho was not on Rachels list. It was tedious work, like some sort of odd word puzzle, but it paid off when Jack read off the eleventh name.

Next, we have Gemma Chapman.

Rachel read down the list, quite sure shed seen the name while eliminating others. Sure enough, she was right there, four names from the bottom. Her treatment with Regency had occurred nine months ago.

Shes right here, Rachel said. She stood to her feet, tapping excitedly at the name on her list. Her treatment came back as negative a little over nine months ago. You?

Three months ago at Greenfield.

Rachel pulled up the station network, navigated to the criminal database, and typed in Gemma Chapman. Jack filed in behind her, watching the screen load over her shoulder. Rachel could feel a collective surge of adrenaline between the two of them as the possibility of a strong lead began to spring up in front of them.

Well Ill be damned, Jack said from over her shoulder.
