“Someone’s ransacked the room,” he said.
She shook her head. “No. Her chambers often look like this.” Each of the books was open to a specific page. But as she stepped inside the room with Parker, she noted that these books were ripped apart.
“Someone was looking for something,” he said. “Can you tell if anything’s missing?”
“Her laptop.” It wasn’t on the desk or the floor in front of it.
“She must have taken it with her,” Parker said. “She must have taken off.”
Sharon stepped carefully over the books and papers to move around to the back of the big mahogany desk. If Brenda had taken the laptop, she would have put it in the case that she usually dropped behind her chair.
But she didn’t find the bag behind the desk. She found something else instead—something she wished she had never seen. As she gave in to the fear and hysteria overwhelming her, screams burned her throat.
