Soon enough, Tina's voice came on the phone, sounding livelier than he had heard it recently.
”Abang Rickie! Have you found her yet?” He was sad to squelch the eagerness in her voice.
”Sorry, Leaf, I haven't. But I wanted to ask a question. Did you parents leave anything with you two when they left this world? Any files, paperwork, memory cards? It might be important.”
There was a pause, and Rickie held his breath.
”Nothing that I know of,” Tina replied, and Rickie deflated. ”We kept some personal stuff, you know, like their wedding album, family pictures, things like that. Our old couch, but it's all torn up from whoever broke into our home. I can't think of much else.”
Rickie pondered for a moment while he moved alongside a skiff that had a family of five. One of the little boys pointed at his boat, excited, and Rickie absentmindedly waved.
”Did you bring any of the papers with you to the estate?” Rickie asked.
”Most of it, why?”
”I'd like you to go through it and look for anything…” Rickie suddenly remembered that she didn't know about her parent's job, ”…not related to the family. Something with names, dates, events, along those lines.”
”Okay, I'll look right now. Will it help you find my sister?” Tina clearly was focused on Meaghan, even though she was having fun with Sethe. Rickie understood the sentiment.
”I think it will. Call me if you find anything, okay?”
”Promise.”
