CHAPTER THIRTY
Riley awakened when the plane landed at Reagan International Airport. She shook her head to clear her mind of dark dreams she couldn’t quite remember. She was sure she had dreamed something about Hatcher, but he wasn’t what really concerned her right now.
She rented a car and drove straight to Mike Nevins’s office and clinic in DC. She hurried into the building, but when she walked into Mike’s office, the reception room was empty and silent.
She was hit by a moment of panic.
Has something happened? she wondered. Did Bill even get here?
Then she remembered—it was Sunday. Mike’s receptionist and most of the staff wouldn’t be working. Mike himself wouldn’t usually be here on Sunday. The building was just open for the minimal clinic activity that would normally go on today.
