But Spencer…
I knew more than my wife, of course. But I couldn’t compromise my own position by compromising Spencer’s. It wasn’t completely a selfish act. Spencer would want me to remain mum on the truth. And she believed she was capable of bringing Madeline home. It was my choice not to ask how, because “why” is somehow more important than “how” when a child is missing.
Spencer had her reasons, and it wasn’t my place to judge, investigate, or doubt them. I took her late-night phone calls, listening to her whispered updates in the darkness of the living room so as not to wake Paula. Her last one was hurried and mysterious, but I was relieved to hear her voice.
“Dad…”
“Spence, I can barely hear you. Are you ok? Where are you?”
“Southeast. Moving north.”
“You can’t tell me where?”
Silence.
“I understand.”
“Look, I’m going to need you to do me a favor, Dad.”
“What do you need?” I ask, preparing myself for the strangest possible request.
“I need you to mention the name ‘Rebecca Dennison’ to the police. Tell them it’s an anonymous tip or something, but trust me, this woman is dangerous.”
“Rebecca? Aiden’s wife?”
“You know her?”
“Well, sweetheart, the last name sort of gives her away, but I’ve talked to her once, yes.”
“Why? What did she say?”
“She answered Aiden’s phone. She was very helpful…nothing unusual or anything.”
“Look, she’s dangerous, ok? I can’t tell you anything more than that.”
“Can I ask you something?”
“Maybe.”
“Is Madison involved?”
“Dad, you shouldn’t feel…”
“Is she?”
“Yes. In a minor way…not a major way.”
“Was I a setup?”
“I imagine so…yes.”
“How did they know?”
“That’s what I’m trying to figure out, Dad.”
We didn’t talk much longer after that. There were screams in the background in the closing seconds, and as I stumbled to ask their origin, I looked down to find the call ended. I sat in the living room, breathing hard. It could’ve been an anxiety attack. I had been tricked and my body wasn’t pleased.
“Was that her?”
It was easy to forget that Glen was living in the house. He didn’t make his presence known often, instead taking bottles of potent alcohol back to his childhood room. All we heard from him were sobs in the middle of the night and the soft mumbling of his television.
