July 4, 1996
I have no words for the things I'm feeling right now. Mom went out to see the fireworks tonight. She told me she would stay home if I needed her but it was written all over her face how badly she wanted to go. She's with him. I know it. That's fine with me. I can't stand to even look at her right now. She would really lose it if she knew that I'd figured out who he is. Her precious Colonel. Knowing makes it worse than I had even imagined. She might have the rest of them fooled but not me. I know what they did. There's only one person I can talk to now. I'm hoping with a little help I can find the proof I need to expose both of them for what they are. I can't wait to see their faces when they find out I know. Enjoy your night out Mom because your baby girl's at home planning her own little fireworks show in your honor. It's going to be absolutely spectacular.
Cameron sifted through the printouts and handwritten notes scattered across the living room carpet of Andra's home. Before dropping Cameron and Andra off at the diner Melanie had texted them Jennifer's number. She had also made them promise to call her if they needed anything. She had pulled away from the curb only after warning them once more to be careful. It was the most she had spoken since their visit with Gloria.
Melanie had heard the stories but she couldn't possibly understand what they were dealing with. Seeing it for herself was a completely different thing altogether. Cameron even understood Melanie's fear. He had felt that way himself just a few days ago. After everything that had occurred though he found that he agreed with Andra. It wasn't going to stop unless they put an end to it.
After Melanie had said her goodbyes the duo left the diner and headed back to Andras'. They thought that they would have a few hours to talk everything out and maybe call Conrad. Instead, they were met by Denise who had an impromptu day off thanks to a water leak at her office. She had spent the better part of the afternoon baking and fussing around the house. With Andra's mom so close by talking about everything that had transpired that day had been near impossible. They caught a break in the form of a phone call around an hour after they arrived. Several of the ladies from Denise's office had decided that a girls' night out was the perfect way to celebrate their unexpected vacation time.
Denise had gone out around six making sure to let them know that she'd be back by midnight. She reminded Andra before she left that she could see the home security cameras from her phone. "In other words," Andra mumbled to Cameron sarcastically, "we should keep our butts downstairs if we enjoy breathing."
As soon as Denise's car disappeared around the corner Andra had been down on the floor unloading her bag and handing Cameron papers while simultaneously dialing Conrad's number. When his voicemail picked up she rattled off a quick message before hanging up and joining Cameron in scouring through papers. They didn't need to discuss it both of them understood that they were looking for anything pertaining to the identity of the Colonel.
