Finally, after ten minutes of scanning the footage, he spotted Morgan on the screen.
His heart skipped a beat as he pointed. “There!”
David rewound the footage.
Logan leaned closer as he watched.
Based on the time stamp, this image of Morgan was from only ten minutes or so after the two of them had kissed.
The best moment of his life followed by the worst. An ache filled his heart at the thought of it.
He watched as Morgan walked toward one of the exits and paused. As she turned to look at everyone in the room, he thought he saw tears glimmering in her gaze.
Grief gripped his heart again at the sight.
She used a finger to wipe beneath her eyes before turning toward the door and stepping outside.
Then he saw it.
The shadow on the other side of the door.
“Stop it right there!” he said.
As David did as he asked, Logan pushed himself closer to the screen. “Can you zoom in?”
“Let me see what I can do.” David managed to enlarge the image.
But all Logan could see was a shadow.
Someone had been waiting on the other side of the door for Morgan.
Whoever it was, Logan couldn’t make out any of their details. This person had probably planned it that way.
His jaw clenched.
“Do you have any cameras on the outside?” he asked.
“The one by that door was vandalized about a week ago,” David said with an apologetic frown. “I’m still waiting for the company to replace it.”
Did the person waiting outside for Morgan know that? Was this person the one who’d vandalized the camera?
Andi said Morgan got a message on her phone. Had the sender lured her outside?
He needed to see her messages. He desperately hoped Reeves would be able to access Morgan’s information.
“What are you thinking?” Duke stood and paced away from the computer, his hands on his hips as he processed everything.
Logan’s muscles flexed and unflexed as he fought to keep his emotions in check.
He turned back to David. “Can you send me copies of all the videos you have for that evening? I’d like to review them all more thoroughly.”
“Of course.” David turned away from the desk and nodded.
“And what about the footage from right before the camera was vandalized?”
David grimaced. “Whoever did it approached the camera from the side—just out of sight. We already looked at all the footage. There was nothing.”
Disappointment bit deeply into Logan. “That’s unfortunate.”
