This time, Hank Clegg stopped in his tracks. He felt like all the blood in his body had frozen.
His voice seemed to drift, as if it came from a distant place, "She... Is she the mother of Mateo and Benjamin?"
Logan was silent for a long while on the other end.
Hank Clegg had already reached the entrance of the dining room.
The servant by the door was holding onto the doorknob of the dining room, waiting to open the door once Master Hank took another step.
Logan finally answered, "Yes ..."
He never expected this either.
The young mother he met at the fast food restaurant that day, the "girl" who ran after her son, turned out to be Victoria Talkington, the lady whose disappearance had left his boss frantically searching seven years ago.
He didn't make the connection until the matter between Victoria Talkington and Franklin Clegg made it to the front page of the newspapers.
