Chapter 577: The Figurine
"Here.. this is it.." Gabe stared at the picture that Autumn placed before him, confused for a moment. Why was she showing him Arabelle’s birthday picture? But then his gaze sharpened, catching on. It was the figurine they were looking for—the one in the locker, visible in Arabelle’s third birthday photo.
"So this is where I saw the figurine. This is good work Autumn. So, where was this picture taken?"
Autumn sighed, " Finding the picture is as good as useless. Mrs Jenkins was my mother’s good friend. But she moved away four years ago. Sold everything since she has Alzheimer’s and no family to care for. I don’t even know if she kept the figurine or understood it’s importance. She might have sold it and we wouldn’t know."
Gabe inhaled slowly. The days each felt like a roller coaster ride. One moment they would have a clue and hope but they next, they’d be lost again. But they only had about ten days left so...
"It’s worth a try... it is not as if we have any other leads..."
Autumn nodded and looked at the picture again. That was the truth.Doing something was better than just sitting and waiting.
Gabe rubbed his temples, feeling the pressure as he wondered if his people had found out anything. If they had, then even if this locker turned out to be of no use, they would have something. "Alright, let’s not waste any time. We need to find out where Mrs. Jenkins is now. Do you have any idea where she might be staying?"
"She mentioned moving to a health center, but I can’t remember the name. Let me check the address where she sent the card from. Hurriedly, Autumn looked through the things, hoping to find something that might be helpful to them. And breathed a sigh of relief when she finally found it.
Gabe handed her his phone, and Autumn dialed the number with slightly trembling fingers. The phone rang several times before a voice answered.
