“It was memorable.”
Even Nathan almost smiled.
Almost.
Then he looked back at the photograph.
“Where was this taken?”
Ward enlarged the image.
A concrete wall stood behind Mom.
Rust streaked down from exposed pipes.
One small window appeared near the upper corner.
The glass had been painted black.
A faded number had been stenciled on the wall.
Fourteen.
Ben leaned closer.
“Warehouse?”
“Possibly,” Ward said.
Nathan shook his head.
“Cold-storage room.”
Everyone turned toward him.
“How do you know?” I asked.
“The pipe behind her is part of an old ammonia refrigeration system.”
He pointed to a rusted metal plate.
“Keawe Cannery used the same equipment.”
Calle’s face changed.
“The abandoned cannery near the north shore?”
“It closed twenty-five years ago,” Nathan said.
“Grandpa used to take us fishing near there,” Hazel whispered.
“He stopped after Dad died,” I said.
Nathan nodded.
“Because the cannery sits above one of the old lava tunnels.”
Ward looked at him.
