He wanted to know what she had to hide over at Nanna's place? Was it the child? It had to be because she never made the effort to tell Ethan about the girl.
Driving his custom van to the office, he changed clothes to something casual with a hat. With the dark tan he naturally sported and the curly hair with a cap, he wouldn't be that recognizable in the hood. He borrowed one of his employees '93 Dodge Shadow and drove it to Nanna's block to wait.
About an hour into his wait, he saw a female come out the house toting garbage. Since it was cold out, she had on a hat and thick ankle length brown coat with a fur collar. The hat was pulled low on her face so he couldn't see the features well. After she dumped the trash in the large black courville garbage container, she walked in the opposite direction to where Ethan was sitting. From the look of her, she couldn't be more than sixteen, but then if that was the daughter, she would be nineteen.
Ethan had gotten a brief history on the girl from the detective.
She was very sheltered. Mainly she took care of Nanna, even going so far as to drop out of high school at fifteen and take care of her grandmother and the home. At night she worked at the Laundromat and read different books. The detective noted once he saw her reading War and Peace. When she wasn't taking care of Nanna or working, she earned extra money tutoring elementary mathematics to children in the neighborhood. She was a numbers genius according to past teachers, but since she never finished high school many thought she had gone to waste. The detective said when she had turned eighteen she had opened an account and deposited money earned from tutoring in there without her uncle knowing about it.
