Riley was disappointed when she went to the computer room after a day of tours, classes, and her first dinner in the Academy cafeteria. There was still no email from Ryan. For the moment she ignored the others in her box.

Last night she had emailed Ryan to let him know that she’d arrived at Quantico and was settling in. She hadn’t heard anything from him in reply. She asked herself—should she send him another note, telling him about her day? Or should she give him a phone call?

Riley sighed deeply as she tried to come to terms with the truth …

He’s still angry.

She wondered if maybe she’d made a mistake by catching the first train she could to Quantico. Maybe she should have returned home before she’d left to talk things out with him, find out where things stood between them. She couldn’t imagine how they were ever going to do that as long as they were separated like this.

But she couldn’t help thinking …

If I’d gone back home yesterday, I’d probably still be there.

She decided it was best not to try to do anything about it now. Maybe tomorrow morning she’d send Ryan another note.

One other email in the box was junk, which she deleted. But when she opened the remaining message, Riley was unsettled and alarmed.

“Brant Hayman,” she whispered, with a shudder.

Hayman was the professor who had killed Riley’s two college friends in Lanton. He had tried to kill Riley.
