“Possibly.”

Both of them focus on me.

I pick up my phone and set it nearer the center of the island.

“We copied everything before we turned it over.”

Alessio looks at me. “Everything?”

“The photographs. The adoption records. The documents from the bag. We doubled her cell phone.”

“What did you get from it?” Edoardo asks.

“Ricardo and Matteo are looking into it now. We'll have answers soon enough.”

Alessio’s relief fades slightly.

I expected that and counter it.

“We have Rachel,” I say. “We have proof she watched both of you. We have her phone, which she might have used to contact whoever set us up. That should be enough.”

“And if it isn’t?” Edoardo asks.

“Then we keep looking. I've already discussed with Mario keeping Donna on to find out who was behind this entire set-up.”

Alessio studies the amber liquid in his glass.

“So we still don’t know who’s behind it all.”

“No.”

“Or why they chose me.”

“We will find the reason.”

He looks at me.

There are times a father promises what he hopes.

This is not one of them.

I will find the person who helped Rachel put my son inside that room. I will find whoever altered the footage, whoever moved Genevieve’s body, whoever believed Alessio could be sacrificed without consequence.

The police can have Rachel first.

I will have the rest.

Edoardo picks up the bottle again. “So what happens now?”

I look at Alessio.

He has been cleared for less than an hour. There will be time for the rest.

“Now, we celebrate.”

He lifts a brow. “I think I can get behind that one.”

Edoardo nods. “Me too.”
