RICO said that Dominick Rochester was mobbed up and maybe that was part of it. But there was something to reading a person's grief. On the one hand, everyone reacts differently. It was true that you really couldn't tell guilt based on someone's reaction. Some killers cried tears that'd put Pacino to shame. Others were beyond robotic. Same with the innocent. It was like this: You're with a group of people, a grenade is thrown in the middle of the crowd, you never know who is going to dive on it and who is going to dive for cover . That said, Katie Rochester's father . . . there was something off about his grief. It was too fluid. It was like he was trying on different personas, seeing which one would look best for the public. And the mother. She had the whole shattered-eye thing going on, but had that come from devastation or resignation? It was hard to tell . We have no evidence of that, Loren said in the most noncommittal tone she could muster . Edna Skylar did not react . These questions, Loren went on. They're a bit bizarre . That's because I'm still not sure what to do . A bout?If a crime has been committed, I want to help. But . . . But?I saw her . Loren Muse waited a beat, hoping she'd say more. She didn't. You saw Katie Rochester?Yes . When?It'll be three weeks on Saturday?And you're just telling us now?Edna Skylar was looking out at the parking lot again. The sun was setting, the rays slicing in through the venetian blinds. She looked older in that light . Dr. Skylar?She asked me not to say anything. Her gaze was still on the lot . Katie did?Still looking off, Edna Skylar nodded . You talked to her?For a second maybe . What did she say?That I couldn't tell anybody that I saw her . A nd?And that was it. A moment later she was gone . Gone?On a subway . The words came easier now. Edna Skylar told Loren the whole story, how she'd been studying faces while walking in New York, how she spotted the girl despite the appearance change, how she followed her down into the subway, how she'd vanished into the dark . Loren wrote it all down, but fact was, this figured into what she'd believed from the beginning. The kid was a runaway. As Ed Steinberg had already told Skylar, there had been an ATM withdrawal at a Citibank in midtown near the time she vanished. Loren had seen the bank video. The face had been covered by a hood, but it was probably the Rochester girl. The father had clearly been on the over-strict side. That was how it always was with the runaways. The too-liberal parents, their kids often got hooked on drugs. The too-conservative, their kids were the runaways with the sex issues. Might be a stereotype to break it down like that, but Loren had seen very few cases that broke those rules .
