Chapter 87

• She started yelling at everything and nothing until something clicked in the back of her mind about a story she had heard on the news. About how they’d found some missing hiker by following the pings on their cell phone despite a lack of service.
• “I knew that when I didn’t show up for work in the morning, someone would call Haddie and that would start the wheels in motion. She’s a worrier and knew I was preparing for a big meeting I had that morning that I would’ve never missed. She figured that maybe they’d be able to track my cell phone to our location.
