He stepped forward, a book grasped in his outstretched hand. "I'm guessing this belongs to your son."Morgan hesitated momentarily, recognizing the book immediately as Jared's favorite. Then taking the book into her trembling hands, she brought it up to her chest. "Where did you find it?" she asked softly."It was lying on the porch."She turned to Russo."He must have placed it there after I came in or I would have seen it.""Seeing as how you two seem to already know who the kidnapper is, I don't guess it'd do much good to run this for prints." He reached inside his jacket, withdrew a plastic baggie and handed it to her.She took it. Through the plastic, she could clearly make out the crudely put together note of different-colored letters cut out of magazines.
