Valerium was a vast city, and finding a stranger was like looking for a needle in a haystack. But with security footage, they might be able to identify her, making the search much easier.
Zelda thought back carefully. "We had just come out of the movie theater and went shopping. The movie ended at one-thirty, and it's about a ten-minute walk to that area, so it must have happened between one-forty and two o'clock."
Tina nodded. "Are you sure about the time? If so, I'll contact my friend."
"Wait," Zelda said, putting down the pastry. "Let me check my ticket confirmation."
"Okay."
Zelda pulled out her phone and found the record. "Yes, the movie ended at one-thirty exactly. So it definitely happened between one-forty and two."
Tina began texting her friend.
Just then, Zelda's husband, John, came out of the other room. Zelda handed him a pastry from the box. "Try this."
John took a bite, and his eyes widened in surprise. "This is delicious! Where did you buy it?" As a Valerium native, he considered himself a connoisseur of sweets, and he had never tasted anything like this before.
