“Nothing’s been touched up there. The TV’s still here, so are all the knickknacks I rescued from the shed. Not that they’re worth stealing in the first place.”
“Okay. Is there something here that wasn’t before you left this morning?”
Wylie got what he was implying. “Like something that could connect me to Nelly’s murder and Emma’s disappearance? If there is, it’s not going to be lying around in plain sight. On the other hand…” He remembered wondering at one point if whoever had abducted the two women had kept them prisoners in their basement. “I need to check the basement and the garage.”
“Yes, and the attic,” Garry said, picking up on why Wylie had said that.
“I’d have a hard time hauling anything up there, especially an unconscious woman,” Wylie replied. “Access is a drop-down ladder.”
“Check it, anyway. I’ll look in the basement.”
