“You found something?” Poppy asks, trying to contain the eagerness in her voice. Chantelle swipes at her phone, then displays a photo. It’s of an envelope. On the outside it says: “If something happens to me.” A spurt of adrenaline shoots through Poppy. “Alison had this inside her purse?” Chantelle nods enthusiastically. “Did you open the envelope?” A dumb question. “Yes, and that’s the puzzling part. Inside was a note, but it seems to be written in code.”
