Parker’s jaw worked. “We’re doing everything we can. I’ve got every officer on our payroll looking for Shay and the boat. We’ll find her.”

But would it be soon enough? My gut twisted as images of dead bodies filled my mind. The ones that had been carved up and displayed to look just like my paintings. I couldn’t help imagining Shay the same way. Bile crept up the back of my throat, and I forced it down.

A hand came down hard on my shoulder. “You have to hold it together. Losing it won’t help you or Shay.”

I gave a jerky nod in Griffin’s direction. “I’m trying.”

“I know that kind of fear. It eats you up, but you have to keep a clear head.”

I was doing everything I could to hold onto my last strand of sanity. Not to tear this kitchen apart. But it had been two hours. Parker and his deputies had descended on Harbor in a wave, looking for any clue they could find. A tech was combing through Shay’s laptop, trying to trace the new screen name. But so far, no luck.

Parker checked his phone for the hundredth time. “You have your laptop up here?”

I nodded. “It’s in the den.”

“Grab it for me. I want to look through your security footage. See if we can spot anyone lurking.”

I jogged to grab the computer but couldn’t imagine it would be much help. It would be difficult to keep eyes on Shay or me. The forests that surrounded the buildings on Harbor would make it nearly impossible for someone to see through.

I set the computer on the counter and pulled up the camera app. “What views do you want?”

Parker came up next to me. “Let’s start with the dock camera that faces the water.”

There were three views from our dock cameras. One facing the water, one facing the trail that led to and from the dock, and one of the dock itself that was linked to an alert. I pulled up the view of the water.

“Here are rewind, fast forward, and stop,” I said, showing Parker all the buttons he would need.

He slid onto the stool and began a speedy rewind of the recording. I scrubbed a hand back and forth across my jaw where an ache had started to form. After a minute, Parker slammed his finger down on the stop key.

I leaned in closer. “What is it? What did you see?”

“I’m not sure.” He started the recording again, this time at a normal speed. Griffin moved in closer to see what we were looking at. “Holy hell,” Parker muttered.
