Every Secret Thing Page #4

a walnut, Alice.

It's good.

Sorry, sometimes I just think

you were switched at the hospital.

You know, my horoscope today

said that "all eyes would be on me."

And then I'll find something

I misplaced.

Did you find a job?

Not yet.

Did you find a boyfriend?

What?

Excuse me?

You were reading the personals.

Well, they're hilarious.

And tragic.

Why don't you take a look

at the want ads?

Why don't you have

a boyfriend, Mom?

I mean, I would have figured

you'd found somebody by now.

Jones.

How was my brother?

I... I know.

There's no way.

- You should not wait up.

- Yeah.

And don't watch crap TV

and fall asleep on the couch.

- All right. Hey.

- You wouldn't want to catch...

They found something

at the mall.

- I gotta go.

- Come on.

- Yes. Don't wait up.

- Let's go, let's go, let's go.

Do not wait up.

Right over here.

A hundred yards

from the furniture store.

Similar photos have been taken?

Pictures all around.

I want a full dust.

We got blood.

I'm gonna need this place wiped.

Okay?

Let's bag it.

I need a minute.

You should come to bed.

It's 4:
00 a.m., Nance.

Which means

it's 16 and a half hours...

since a three-year-old

went missing.

Right, missing kid.

You don't do missing kid cases.

I thought I could handle it.

It's like a fort.

In high school, everybody

came up here to smoke cigarettes.

I didn't remember it

being this far.

You smoke cigarettes?

I was the lookout.

It's up here.

This is not

part of the grid, Porter.

If we find this baby first,

where does that put us?

Gotta follow chain of command.

See down in there?

Come on.

See?

In here.

God...

...sector R8-26.

We are near

the south end of the sewer line

by the old bunker

near the river.

We need backup and an ambulance.

Nance?

Roz, you haven't

eaten your breakfast.

I really don't have any words...

Come on.

We were just shopping for a new sofa.

Like a second, I turned around

and then, she was just like...

Hey, baby. How are you?

Good morning.

Daddy!

...urged to contact

the police department

at 3-3-4...

Look, Mama, me!

Honey,

that's... that's not you.

Let's turn this off right now.

Oops.

The birth father was in Ossining

when it happened.

It wasn't him. B&E, 10 years,

possibility of parole.

Went back to Paradise Furniture,

talked to the manager.

- And?

- There's nothing new.

But he did say that

the boyfriend, Devlin Smith,

was "acting like an a**hole."

His words, not mine.

Jesus, what is she doing here?

Who is that?

They're home, you know.

They've been home for two weeks.

They're back living not even three miles

from where this happened.

Who?

Who's home?

Ronnie Fuller and Alice Manning.
