Jack sat at the table in his front room and arranged his notes before him, trying to construct a timeline.
Jonah Stevens first fathered Hank. Then less than a year later, Jeremy. And a year after that, Christy—or Moonglow.
Eighteen years later Moonglow is kidnapped by the boys and Hank repeatedly rapes her until she becomes pregnant.
Moonglow tries to get an abortion but the boys kill off the two abortionists she visits. Jeremy is caught, locked away for life, and winds up at Creighton.
Hank, meanwhile, gets tagged for interstate GTA and also winds up at Creighton.
Coincidence? Not according to Levy. They both tested positive for oDNA, so they became instant candidates for Creighton. But the timing…
Did Hank arrange to have himself arrested on a federal beef so he could visit his brother?
No, that didn't square. He didn't know about the oDNA project at Creighton so he couldn't know he'd be sent there.
Jack checked his notes for the date of Bolton's arrival in Creighton, then opened his copy of Kick to the section covering Hank Thompson's wild, criminal youth.
When he saw the date of his capture, he checked back to the timeline for Jeremy's arrest and saw that Hank had been locked up in Creighton when Jeremy was nabbed… locked up for six months.
Jack's mouth went dry.
He rechecked the dates of the weeks Moonglow Garber had gone missing. When he found those, his stomach took a dive.
"Oh, shit."
