Anastasia's eyes were immediately drawn to the photograph she picked up. She looked at it in surprise and asked, "Herman, you know this Leonora too? How do you have her photo? And who's the guy next to her?"
"Leonora?" Herman's expression shifted to concern. "You know her?"
If Kayleigh was getting close to Anastasia, that was a red flag.
"Yeah, Jason's met her too. Remember, I took her fingerprints to the police for a match. We first met at a coffee shop, where she introduced herself as Leonora," Anastasia explained. "We ran into each other again this morning in the hospital restroom."
Herman felt a chill and said seriously, "That woman is actually Kayleigh."
"Kayleigh? That's her?" Anastasia was shocked. "She's the one who got Flynn investigated?"
She'd heard the name Kayleigh before but had never met her.
Herman nodded gravely. "That's right. She works for Asher, and I've had Dailey keeping an eye on her. She's unpredictable. What did you talk about when you met? Did she say anything?"
"I was the one who reached out to her. Something about her seemed off," Anastasia recounted. "Remember the fingerprint mismatch? I suspected it was because Kayleigh had a fake fingerprint overlay."
Herman asked, "How did you know about that?"
It's not something most people know.
Anastasia replied, "I saw it on TV. I've been watching a lot lately to pass the time. I still felt something was wrong when I saw her with a vial at the hospital, so I asked James about it. After finding out what it was for, I decided to confront her."
"And?"
"She didn't have the overlay on her fingertips," Anastasia shrugged. "Monica said I was overthinking it since I was wrong both times. But now that I know she's behind Flynn's troubles, it seems she approached me on purpose. Even if she's not Julie, she's got other motives."
"You need to stop seeing her," Herman insisted. "And leave the Julie matter alone. Your job is to take care of yourself, love. Don't make me worry."
