the screen.
Another message appeared.
THEY KNOW ABOUT THE CHECK. THEY DON’T KNOW ABOUT THE SECOND KEY.
Second key?
Lily’s mind raced.
The brass key was gone.
The silver key opened the safe.
What second key?

Not the lining.
The collar.
Her mother had hidden something there too.
The phone buzzed again.
WHEN YOU REACH DAYLIGHT, RUN EAST. NOT DOWN. EAST.
A fourth message came.
YOUR FATHER IS WAITING.
Lily’s hand almost slipped.
