playing hide-and-seek on her first day. After the court trial, there would be a made-for-TV movie about the girls: Hide-and-Seek Gone Horribly Wrong: The Story of the Buchanan Sisters .
    After prowling the hallway, listening for any sound of the girls behind the closed doors, she decided she needed to be more systematic in her approach. She would open each door and check under the beds and in the closets. After that she would check the basement.
    The first door she opened was obviously the twins’ room. Two beds to check under and just a tiny closet. Next was Connie and Buck’s room. She scanned it fast because it felt totally wrong to be in there. Unfortunately, they had a rather large walk-in closet that required extra effort.
    After that there was the bathroom, where she looked behind the shower curtain and then in the linen closet. Unless the girls had climbed onto a shelf and perfectly replaced all the folded towels and sheets in front of them, she could definitely cross off the linen closet with one quick look.
    The next room was Teo’s. She really didn’t want to be in Teo’s room, but she had to check for the girls, because now she was getting a little nervous.
    She bumped her hip on his computer desk, and the screen came alive. She didn’t mean to look at the search bar, but her eye was drawn to it.
    How to find your biological father , it said.
    Jane gasped and put her hand over her mouth. This was not information that she should be privy to. Immediately she x-ed out the window, and a second one was open behind it. Consuela Garcia and Jose Rodriguez , the search said in that window. She closed that one, too, and backed out of the room, shutting the door and fleeing back downstairs, trying not to think about what she’d just seen.
    The girls were all sitting at the kitchen table, eating grapes.
    â€œYou didn’t come find us,” Keegan said.
    â€œI was looking for you everywhere upstairs,” Jane explained, taking a grape for herself and sitting across from the girls.
    â€œWe were in the basement.”
    â€œI thought for sure you would have hidden under a bed or in a closet.”
    Rory looked terrified. “That’s where the monsters live.”
    Jane laughed. “Good to know,” she said. “How did you get downstairs without the door making any noise as you opened and closed it?”
    â€œYou have to do it really slow,” Keegan said.
    â€œAlso good to know,” Jane said as she focused on the kids, determined to forget that she had ever been in Teo’s room.

 
    Chapter 5
    Barely ten minutes into his shift, Teo had a sinking feeling in his gut like he forgot to turn off the stove. But it was worse than potentially setting the house on fire, because he was pretty sure that what he’d forgotten to do was clear his search history. He paced around the pool, trying to remember exactly how the morning had played out.
    He’d been so humiliated by Buck’s mention of his workout regime that the second Ravi left for SAT prep, Teo ran upstairs to his room to do more dad searching, this time starting with something broader. Obviously, other people had searched for their biological fathers, and maybe Teo was trying too hard to reinvent the wheel.
    It wasn’t long before he’d looked at the clock and found that he was going to be late for work if he didn’t get his crap together. He’d left as quickly as humanly possible, and he really couldn’t remember if he’d closed out his search or not.
    He was so desperate for his mom or the girls not to see it that he almost considered calling Jane and asking her to close up the tabs for him. But then Jane would ask questions—questions Teo didn’t want to answer. He was starting to sweat just thinking about it. He ran a hand through his hair and tried to rationalize the situation.
    No one really went in his room all day. It could happen, though. But his computer
