When we got to the third floor, Adam led us to a white bedroom door that had chipped paint.
He gave us an apprehensive look, then swung open the door. Sitting in a rocking chair was an old woman with
gray hair.
| let out a quiet gasp. Was Alexander's information wrong? Was this Kelly's grandma?
Did she fake her death because she was scared of her unhinged granddaughter?

“This is my sister,” Adam said, gesturing to the woman. “Sarah Walker. She's Russell's mother.”
My shoulders slumped in relief. My mind had been conjuring up images of Kelly keeping her grandma’s dead
body in that foul-smelling room in her apartment. Cold fear had flowed throughbefore | could really look at
the woman in the rocking chair. But now that I did, Sarah Walker seemed to be perfectly nice. She smiled
tentatively at the three of us and grabbed a cane that leaned against the wall and struggled to stand. | wanted
to help her, but I didn’t want to embarrass her.
But then, Ava bumped my shoulder with hers, and she widened her eyes. This madethink back to what |
knew about Russell's mother.
When | remembered, my stomach swooped with surprise. Russell's mother had supposedly died in a gas

Ava looked atwith a knowing smirk. She had been the one to guess that Russell's mother might still be alive.
Adam made introductions and then invited us to sit around a wooden table in the center of the room. There was
a light blue teapot and matching cups with saucers.
“I hope you don’t mind talking up here,” Sarah said as she used her cane to walk over to the table. “The stairs
are hard forwith my arthritis.” Carefully, she lowered herself into the seat. “Something my brother always
forgets.”
The siblings laughed good naturedly. That would explain the untouched lemonade and cookie downstairs.
We served ourselves tea, and Sarah lifted a plate of biscuits up. “Would you like a biscuit, Alexander?”
Adam shifted uncomfortably in his seat. “Sarah, you should really address someone as high status as Mr. Green
in a formal manner,” he told his sister.
Alexander waved his hand. “Don’t be silly. Sarah, feel free to callby my first name,” he said and took a

How involved was Alexander in this case? It seemed like he was always one step ahead of me. | wasn’t sure how
| felt about that.
Once the polite small talk settled down, Ava didn’t waste any time. She folded her hands and stared at Sarah
from across the table.
“So, the world thinks you're dead.” she said bluntly. “Why is that? And we want the truth.”
My heart pounded against my chest.
