It was ordinary white paper with Ashley’s name written in thick blue ink.

Mrs.

Alvarez brought it to the station.

Owen documented its receipt, then invited Helen to join him before opening it.

Inside was a photocopy of Ashley’s health insurance card, the name of her physician, a list of allergies, and a handwritten note.

If I cannot be reached, please call Helen Foster, Leah’s cousin, at the number below.

Ashley is afraid of thunderstorms.

Let her keep Buddy with her.
