"Emily… you okay?" asked Nolan.
"This can't be real. All of Conrad's evidence, that could've exonerated my father, it was on that plane…" I replied.
"Not exactly. I unencrypted and backed up that mysterious hard drive before I gave it to McGowen." Nolan sat down beside me on the couch and opened up his laptop.
"After the Graysons framed your father, Americon Initiative handled the coverup."
He had a paused video open, a Grayson Global security camera's (#12) footage, dated August 28, 1993 at 2:43:30pm. I could see that Conrad, Victoria and the white-haired man were conversing in the former's office.
"This goes so far past the Graysons, and so far past what they did to your father." Nolan said.
"Let it play." I whispered.
"Hold onto your hat." He clicked play.
"It'll work because he trusts me." said Victoria.
"How can you be so sure?" asked the white-haired man.
"Because I know David's deepest secret. The wife he had before we met-"
"She would've died in 1990." said my father's killer.
"Yes, but if you look a little deeper, you'll find there's much more to the story. Kara Wilkins suffered from schizophrenia and diabetes, eventually leading to her death of pancreatic cancer. However, David didn't allow his young daughter to ever see her body; he told her Kara didn't want her to be traumatized. David was actually leading his daughter to believe that her mother was truly dead."
"What?" I whispered.
"Kara has been forced to go on the run ever since she got too close to Americon in her investigative research. David joined Grayson Global in order to negotiate with my husband for her release. Kara Wilkins is alive and on the run."
I looked over at Nolan in the same way I did when I told him my father's murder was linked to the Graysons.
"She's alive?" I asked him, barely above a whisper.
"Yeah. And tomorrow, we can start looking for her."
