I hesitated before turning the handle, not sure who would be inside. I’d made a lot of noise running up the stairs, so the element of surprise was gone. After taking a deep breath, I pushed the door open. Nick Roma was sitting at the desk. He looked up from his laptop and smiled. “Hey, Anna. You look like you’re on the trail of something promising.” “I am,” I said. I walked over to the desk. “Frannie Blair handed me a memory stick that I’d like to have a look at now. It might be important.” “Sure. I’ll just save this and then we can bring it up.” I looked over Nick’s shoulder. He’d been typing something in Italian. He quickly saved it and made the page disappear. I handed the memory stick to him and he inserted it into the laptop. A file popped up. Nick clicked on it and a video window opened, paused on a picture of Mandy Blair. Nick looked up at me. “This the girl who was murdered?” “Yeah, and she’s about to speak from beyond the grave.”
