Parkridge Drive, Homewood, 9:30 p.m.

Lori had notes scattered all over the table. It had been another burger and fries dinner night. She felt a little bad that they hadn’t found time for a decent meal in days, but this case was getting to everyone on the team.

Chet sat on the other side of the table watching her and sipping his beer. He’d been doing that for the past ten minutes and hadn’t said a word.

She looked up at him and smiled. “What?”

“You shouldn’t wear that shirt.” He nodded to the blue button-down one she’d found in the back of his closet. He’d worn it to Chester’s birthday party and then hung it back in the closet without washing it. She’d taken it off the hanger to wash it, but then she’d gotten lost in Chet’s scent.

“Why?” She lifted her chin and eyed him boldly. “I like wearing it.”

“Seeing you in that shirt makes me want to do things,” he warned, “you probably don’t want to do right now.”

They’d had sex last night and this morning. “Are you saying you want to have sex right now?”

“Now. Later.” He shrugged. “Anytime, anywhere.”

Her body reacted to his words, going hot in an instant. “We should talk about the case first otherwise we won’t get to it.”

“Works for me.” He allowed his gaze to linger on her lips before going on. “The reverend left perishable food in his fridge. His bed was unmade. Dirty clothes still in the hamper.

He doesn’t subscribe to the newspaper so no papers piled up at the door. His mail goes to a post office box.”

“He took his cell phone.” Lori picked up from there. “So he wasn’t trying to hide from everyone.”

Chet nodded. “Since we didn’t find it, I got a warrant for his phone records. That’ll take a couple days. For now, the only calls we can confirm are the ones with the wedding chapel coordinator.”

“His wife died twenty years ago. He has no children or close family.” Lori ached at the idea of spending part of her life without Chet. That was the thing about falling in love, everything that mattered to you changed. She’d fought it every step of the way. She hadn’t been ready, maybe she still wasn’t, but she was there—madly, deeply in love with this man. “His church was his only family.”

“Henshaw hadn’t been to church in two months,” Chet countered.

“You’re interviewing members of the congregation?”

He nodded. “I spoke to the current pastor and a couple of people he said were close to Henshaw. No one has heard from him. All three have tried calling him with no luck. No one noticed anything unusual about his behavior before he stopped showing up for services. Whatever happened, it was sudden and without warning.”

“What about his vehicle?” Lori hadn’t noticed anything out of the
