Chapter 2: A Name I Was Told Never to Say Again
My hands were shaking as I unfolded the note.
The first line stopped my breath completely.
*"Sarah.
I know you don't remember me.
But I've been looking for you for a long time."*
I looked up at the driver.
"Who are you?"
He took off his baseball cap.
"My name is Frank.
I used to work with your father."
My father had been g*ne for over twenty years.
"That's not possible," I said.
"My father never mentioned anyone named Frank."
He nodded slowly, like he expected me to say that.
"He wouldn't have.
Not after what happened."
"What do you mean — what happened?"
Frank glanced at Ellie, then back at me.
"There are things about your father that you were never told, Sarah.
Things he made certain people promise to keep quiet."
My throat tightened.
"What kind of things?"
He looked down at the note still in my hands.
"Keep reading.
There's a name at the bottom.
When you see it — you'll understand why I've been driving this route every summer for three years."
I looked down.
And there it was.
A name I hadn't heard since I was seven years old.
A name I had been told never to say again.
My legs went weak.
