He turned to Daniel.

Daniel clicked through the reservation history.

“Seat fourteen B was booked under Ms. Ellison’s name six days ago. She cancelled it yesterday at 1:51 p.m.”

“Twenty-three minutes before you changed flights,” I said.

“Yes.”

“And then Adrian took the same seat?”

Daniel nodded.

“Was that automatic?”

“No.”

I looked at Adrian.

“Did Claire move you?”

“I told her to get me onto the earliest Houston flight. I didn’t choose the seat.”

“Then she put you there.”

He reached for his phone.

Daniel stopped him.

“Sir.”

“What?”

“We haven’t been able to contact Claire.”

Adrian’s expression shifted.

“Since when?”

“She didn’t show for the morning briefing.”

 

 

“Call her again.”

“We have.”

“Her apartment?”

“Building security says she left last night around ten.”

“With luggage?”

Daniel paused.

“Yes.”

A quiet pressure filled the table.
