Police Chief Cade disappears after hitting and killing a man with his car. Without a trace, without a note, without taking clothes or his car or money, he is gone. The dead man is identified, and it soon becomes clear that the woman Cade was seen leaving town with was the wife of the dead man. Newspapers begin to ask hard questions. Was the Cape Refuge Chief of Police having an affair with this woman? Did he deliberately kill her husband, then make it look like an accident? When the police department receives a handwritten note from Cade that he has run off to get married to a woman he's kept secret, everyone breathes a sigh of relief. But Blair notices his unusual signature and she thinks it's a signal from him that the contents of the note are false. Meanwhile there are news reports about babies being kidnapped from area hospitals. When a ransom call comes to Hanover House from the baby's kidnapper, they are all shocked to see that the phone it is traced to is Cade's cell phone. Is he involved in the babies' disappearance? Is that why he's disappeared?
