  Bookmarker's Notes

  Still, Roy continued to stare until his vision blurred, forcing himself to keep looking. The boy on the slab was drained of all color and life. Above all else, everything about the poor child was wrong. It wasn't his kid.

  The hair appeared to be pale flaxen, not vibrant gold. The body is too small. Too fragile.

  Wrong. Wrong. Wrong.
