I decided, guiltily, to scan through her documents -

...but there weren't any.

 

I started up her laptop, loading her address book. It was completely empty.

I decided, guiltily, to scan through her documents - but there weren't any. I opened her email client: no accounts. No images, no documents, no files of any sort - at least none that would lead me to her.

I called Janine again.

"Janine, you aren't going to believe this," I said into the machine. "All of her data's been erased from her laptop. I can't find the name of a single person she's made acquaintance with since she showed up here anywhere in the apartment. Call me back," I paused, looking around the apartment. I'd turned the place inside out. Everything was in disarray. "Things are getting really weird over here."
