Lenny had overheard the entire conversation that Amelia and Rob had had with their son, James. He found it very interesting that Meredith’s hospital records had been deleted, and he was glad that he and Nate had stuck with the story.
Rob and Amelia were so wrapped up in their worry that they didn’t notice when Lenny followed them outside and then got into a car of his own. As he tailed them through the streets of Phoenix, he called Nate and gave him an update.
On the other end of the line, Nate said, “She keeps her social profiles pretty private, so I don’t have any idea where else she could have gone. All I know is that she’s a vet student at ASU.”
“Well now I know where she lives, so that’s something. Her folks are pounding on her door as we speak.”
“Is she there?”
“Hold on.” Lenny watched from the parking lot as Rob and Amelia went into Meredith’s apartment, coming out disappointed a few minutes later. “Nope, they’re looking pretty upset, too.”
“Wouldn’t you if your daughter were missing?”
Lenny didn’t answer the question. Instead he said, “I have a feeling that Meredith will eventually come home, so I’m going to wait here for her.” Hanging up his phone, Lenny settled in to wait, keeping the door to her apartment in plain view.
