Steve and Amanda picked up C.J. on the way home, grabbed some take out and headed to the beach house that Steve shared with his dad. C.J. was watching a movie while the three adults looked over the photographs. They were about ¾ of the way through the photos when Amanda exclaimed, ""Wait, go back to the last one you had Mark, let me look at it. I thought.. just let me look at it." Mark handed her the photo and she looked closely at it for a few minutes.

"There, see off to the bottom right, kind of in the background. Isn't that Ron Willard, the guy who was killed?"

Steve took the photo from Amanda, it was a picture of Mandy and Paul at Big Bear with skis, it looked like they had finished for the day or just beginning the day as the picture was taken in the parking lot with their skis' over their shoulders, but Amanda was right, There was Ron Willard in the background and it looked like he had a package under his arm. It wasn't clear enough to see exactly what it was. He now needed to ask Paul if he was aware Ron was there that day, find out the date of the picture etc. Steve pointed out these details to Mark and Amanda.

None of the other pictures seemed to reveal any more details. Steve took the photo and put it in an envelope for safe keeping. He said he'd have the police tech department enhance the image and he planned to talk to Paul again.

C.J. had fallen asleep, so Steve helped Amanda get him to the car, kissed Amanda good night and called it a night.

The next morning Steve dropped off the photo and tried to catch Paul at work; he wasn't expected in until later that afternoon. He was in a meeting at another location. Since his job involved top secret information, Steve was not told where he was at.

On his way back to the precinct Amanda called, "I just got this strange note on my desk and it doesn't make a lot of sense, I think it's about Ron Willard, you may want to come look at it."

After being careful not to get any more fingerprints on the note Steve read it,

Dear Amanda,

I know you have that package, Ron tried to keep it from me, but

I know you have it. I will send you instructions of where to leave it. Be

Prepared.

It wasn't signed. I don't know anything about a package, do you think they're referring to the package in the picture. Why does he think I have it?

Steve remembered part of the conversation with Mandy, Paul's ex, from yesterday. "Didn't people often get you and Mandy Appleton mixed up?"

"Yea, they did, it was kind of a game we played with those who didn't know us well. Since we did a things together as couples, whenever both Paul and Collin were in town, I could see those who didn't really know us could be confused."

"Maybe this person thinks your Mandy Appleton, we need to talk to her again."

"I'm going withyou! I can't believe she would be mixed up in this."

Steve took her in his arms, "I know you like Mandy, but she could be involved, of course, she could also be an innocent bystander that doesn't know she has something, let's see what she has to say. We'll have to wait a little, I don't want to talk to her while she's teaching. We'll wait until this evening."
