Don’t Look Twice
“Mr. Mason was being blackmailed with his daughter’s life!
Whoever had kidnapped Denise was apparently holding her for ransom, in exchange for one of the paintings at the gallery.
Nancy’s thoughts immediately flew to The Young Boy. Was that the one? she wondered. Martha had tried to take it. Was that because she knew it was valuable? She didn’t seem to think highly of Hans Pieters’s paintings as a whole.
Well, at least Nancy could rule out Bernard as a suspect. He was on Mr. Mason’s side, so he ...couldn’t be one of the kidnappers.
Suddenly Nancy heard footsteps approaching the door. Wildly she looked around for a place to hide. There was only the office next door.
It was unlocked. Nancy slipped in and eased the door closed behind her. It clicked shut just before she heard Mr. Mason and Bernard walk past on their way to the staircase.
She leaned against the door to catch her breath and glanced around the room. It contained row after row of file cabinets.
Perfect, Nancy said to herself.MoreLess
