I pulled it out and set it on the oak desk.

Inside were six months of printed bank notifications, two real estate property tax worksheets for Jefferson County, and a wall calendar with handwritten notes taken from Melissa’s house in Golden.

I gathered every page from the folder and placed them inside a heavy white envelope, along with the certified copy of Eleanor’s original property deed from 1984.

On the corner of the office desk, a small blue sticky note was stuck to the monitor cable.

Written in Daniel’s neat, slanted handwriting were the words: Target move date, Dec 28.
