Enter me . Exactly. Claire and Erik called her friends, of course. Randy Wolf, the boyfriend, wasn't supposed to see her last night. He stayed home with his parents . Myron frowned. Loren Muse spotted it in the rearview mirror. What? she asked . Saturday night at the end of his senior year, he said, and Randy stays home with his mommy and daddy?Do me a favor, Bolitar. Just look for the house, will you?As soon as she made the turn, Myron felt the pang of dTja vu. On the right. At the end of the cul-de-sac . That's it?I'm not sure yet. Then: Yeah. Yeah, this is it . She pulled up to it and parked. The Ridgewood police car parked behind them. Myron looked out the window. Move up a few yards . Loren did as he asked. Myron kept his eyes on the house . Well?He nodded. This is it. She opened that gate on the side of the house. He almost added That was the last time I saw her, but he held back . Wait in the car . She got out. Myron watched. She headed over and talked to Banner and a cop with Ridgewood police logos on his uniform. They chatted and gestured toward the house. Then Loren Muse started up the walk. She rang the doorbell. A woman answered it. Myron couldn't see her at first. Then she stepped outside. Nope, not familiar. She was slim. Her blond hair peeked out from a baseball cap. She looked like she'd just finished a workout . The two women talked for a full ten minutes. Loren kept glancing back at Myron as if she feared he'd try to escape. Another minute or two passed. Loren and the woman shook hands. The woman went back inside and closed the door. Loren walked back to the car and opened the back door . Show me where Aimee walked . What did she say?What do you think she said?That she never heard of Aimee Biel . Loren Muse touched her index finger to her nose and then pointed at him . This is the place, Myron said. I'm sure of it . Myron traced her path. He stopped at the gate. He remembered how Aimee had stood here. He remembered her wave, that there was something there, something that bugged him . I should have . . . He stopped. No point. She went in here. Sh e disappeared from sight. Then she came back and waved that I shouldleave . A nd you did?Yes . Loren Muse looked in the backyard before she walked him back to another squad car. They'll drive you home . Can I have my cell phone?She tossed it to him. Myron got into the back of the car. Banner started it up. Myron took hold of the door handle . Muse?What?There was a reason she picked this house, Myron said . He closed the door. They drove off in silence. Myron watched that gate, watched it grow smaller until finally it, like Aimee Biel, was gone.
