“Who is he?”

“A maintenance worker,” the agent replied. “He was employed on the cruise ship at the time of your daughters’ disappearance. Records show he abruptly quit his job three days later and vanished. We’ve been unable to locate him since.”

Sarah felt a chill crawl across her skin. “Are you saying he took them?”
