  Aqsaee and Rasekh.

  Ara and Rosalie.

  Lily.

  ICE agents would care for Gross’s victims. Find out who they are, where they came from, what happened to them. They would return the girls to their homes. Or set them on the road to better lives.

  La Police Nationale would track Jean Pruet and the girls he had trafficked into France.

  Canadian authorities would probe Lily’s death. They would shut down the shooting gallery where she died. Arrest the dealers who led her to that time and place.

  All three investigations would involve grim, gut-wrenching tasks.

  Cuddling with my cat, I resolved one thing.

  The world is rife with evil and misfortune, but it is also full of good people determined to right wrongs. I would not sink into sadness. I would celebrate those who refuse to give up. Those who battle to make things better.

  But who, I wondered, would battle for Ryan in his agony?

  Ryan.

  Pete.

  I needed to be alone.

  Needed time to consider and digest all that had happened.
