CHAPTER 20

It had poured during the night. Tracy and Dan had lain in bed eating Thai food straight out of the cartons and listening to the rain. It rushed against the roof shingles and pinged like coins from a slot machine paying off as it funneled down the gutters and downspouts. By morning the rain had subsided, but a suffocating gray cloud layer had settled over the city.

Dan gave Tracy a kiss at the front gate. “Are you sure I can’t convince you to come to Cedar Grove and help me fend off two hundred eighty pounds of frenzied dogs?”

“I’d love to see them,” she said, “but it sounds like you’ll have most of your day full preparing for next week, and I can use the time to go over some things and hopefully talk with the tracker.”

“Coward,” he said. “You’ve left me alone to the beasts.”

After Dan left, Tracy cleaned up the living room. She was about to jump in the shower when her cell phone rang.

“Sorry I missed your calls last night,” Kaylee Wright said, sounding tired. “We were trying to find a body in Tacoma.”

“I heard. What happened to Germany?”

“Cut short when they found the body and thought it could be related to Ridgway,” she said, meaning Gary Ridgway, the Green River Killer. “Had to take a red-eye back.”

“Any luck finding the body?”

“No. It got too dark, and the weather turned on us. I’m waiting to hear if we’re going out again today.”

“No rest for the wicked.”

“Tell me about it. I’m still jet-lagged. The last thing I needed was an evening romp through the woods in the rain.”

“Well, I won’t add to your workload. I was just hoping I could stop by and take a look at the photographs I gave you. You don’t even have to meet me. Just tell me where to find them.”

“Actually, I have them here with me at home. I was hoping to finish my report this weekend, but I’m not sure I’ll have the time now.”

“You’ve gone through them?” Tracy asked. She’d assumed Wright hadn’t even started.

“I took them with me on the plane to Germany; I told you I like a challenge, and you had me interested. I haven’t typed up anything formal, but I got a good start.”

“When will you know if you’re headed back to Tacoma?”

“They’re supposed to let me know by ten. I could meet you for a lot of coffee while I’m waiting. Can you come my direction?”
