“Who’s Waterman? And where is Pahrump?”
“I have no idea.”
Yamada frowned. “He didn’t mention that name to you before?”
“No. Never.”
“Are you sure?”
“I’m positive.” Rachel switched applications on her phone and began typing. Then waited a few moments for the search results. Looking back at him, she said, “It’s in Nevada.”
“Nevada?”
“Just outside of Las Vegas.”
“What’s in Pahrump?”
Rachel shrugged. “Someone named Waterman, I guess.”
Yamada turned and scanned the empty street. “Or someone who used to be there. Twenty-two years ago.”
“Right.”
“And what made Reiff send this to you? Just out of the blue?”
Again, she thought back to the previous evening. Finding him in her lab, their conversation, and finally, Reiff leaving with Masten and Lagner. “All I can think of,” she said, “is that he knew something was about to happen.”
