“Lily? No, the other kid. The bad one. Everyone thought it was her, especially when she disappeared and the robberies stopped.”


“Sarah had another child?” asked Kiko. He glanced at Dom, who shrugged. “Lily acted like it was only her when she spoke to us yesterday. She said she was handling everything.”


“Didn’t even complain about having to do it all herself,” said Dom. Joy shook her head, frowning.

I always suspected the other child was dead. The jewelry never showed up anywhere, after all, and the boyfriend proved he could kill.” She shrugged. “But no body, no proof.”
