"jack is probably kanyn 's friend too . they know a lot of the same people . i only saw kanyn for a minute before she had to come here . she seemed upset about something , but that's not unuasual for kanyn . maybe it was the thing with jack ."
i decided to try to connect some dots ." do you know anything about the grand canyon ? some trip mel took ... a few yearss ago ? when she was in college . a girl disappeared ?"
amy 's face told me she didn't know -her " no" was reduntant ." i can ask kanyn when she comes over . if it was a big thing , she'll know about it ."

amy went on ." is that what ....this is all about ? mel's dad's concern ? you coming to LA ? some old camping trip ?"
