Peking University, Beijing, China; Monday morning
She was in the quad, working on her laptop in between two exams when her usual search engines pointed her to the article.
Robert Lyle, 23, American businessman, found dead in Chaobai River... The article went on to say that Lyle's wife had died two weeks previous, that it was believed he died sometime prior to the weekend, and the cause of death was currently not being disclosed by the local police.
That was definite, at least. And a half an hour later she got an e-mail from Jarod.

RE: LYLE
What happened to him? Do you know? Are you okay?

Parker stared at the e-mail for a very long time. Then sent back one line:
No. But it's over.
