Chase looked at Kylie.
“What’s going on?” he asked.
“Oh, Miranda acts weird like that sometimes,” she said.
He studied her. “Where’s Della?”
“I’m not sure exactly where she is.”
Her heart didn’t skip.
“Is she with someone?” he asked.
She blinked. “She was alone when she left.”
Clever girl, but he knew a cover-up when he heard one.
“Thanks.” He walked off straight to cabin nine. To the cabin Perry, Steve, and a new were named Caleb were staying.
He knocked. Caleb opened the door.
“Is Steve here?”
“Nope,” he said, completely honest, and unconcerned.
“Do you know where he is?”
“Went out on a date, I think.”

Della stared at her father’s name on the file. That whisper of cold became a bone-chilling cold.
She reached down and pulled it out, but it was empty. Completely empty.
You keep looking for proof. It doesn’t exist. Why can’t you believe me?
Della looked up, frosty air hitched in her lungs when she spotted her dead aunt stretched out on the floor, a knife in her chest. Blood was slowly leaking out and turning the white nightgown red.
He did it. I see him over and over again. I feel the pain, the betrayal, and I see him pulling the knife out of my chest. I see him standing there with blood dripping from the blade.
“He would not do that,” Della snapped.
“What?” Steve asked.
Bao Yu jumped up. Go ahead, look. Look in every box there is. You won’t find it because the proof doesn’t exist.
Her aunt climbed up the metal rack and started throwing the boxes. The sound echoed in the big room.
“What … what’s happening?” Steve asked.
“Shit,” Della said, realizing that wasn’t a vision, that the boxes really were moving. She climbed the rack. “Stop,” she said to her aunt as she picked up and tossed another box. It landed with a loud thump.
Della moved in front of her and tried to catch the box, but she couldn’t.
Steve yelled something from below, but Della was too busy trying to rein in an angry spirit to listen.
Then all of a sudden six or seven boxes floated up in the air. And they started flying across the room. They hit the walls with loud thumps and papers started raining down.
