Holding a full-page blowup of her face made things come together in his
mind. In 1996, he'd made a TDY visit to Nellis AFB with Captain Margaret Adams
of Air Force Intelligence.
On the last weekend of the visit, she'd wanted to check out downtown Las
Vegas. Some time during that Saturday night he'd seen the woman in the picture,
but something about her was different. Her hair? Maybe she hadn't been a blonde.
Using his art program, Cade darkened her hair a few shades, then darkened it
some more. There was still something not quite right. Had she been wearing
glasses? No, he didn't think so. Something else. Colored contacts, maybe.
Laptops and hard drives are like any other machines; they'll usually break
down only at the worst possible times. Cade couldn't burn a backup CD on the
lappie, so he decided to take other precautions against losing the pictures.
Using the room's phone line, he signed onto the internet and opened an
account at a free web host as 'ABC Products', created a directory for the
pictures on the server, made a picture-list web page and titled it
'productimages', and sent everything up to the site.
