Kit shook her head and crossed the parking lot. Half the unit was down with a virus, so training would take place next week. A phone call to let her know would have been nice, but she didn’t sweat it. In a way she was relieved. That meant she had more time to spend on the murders—and catching their killer. And she wanted to find Justin Marlowe to press him about the pocketknife. Why that piece of evidence nagged at her, she wasn’t sure.

But it was her conviction that Justin could provide an answer.

Her phone rang as she was climbing into her car. Noah.

Did her heart actually skip a beat? Could she really do something that cliché?

One thing she’d thought about, as she’d waited for the team that never showed, was the fact that she and Noah seemed to be getting closer with each passing day—and she knew absolutely nothing about his family.

Making a mental note to ask him, she answered on the fourth and final ring. “Hello?”

“Hey, what time do you finish your training?”

“Five minutes ago. It’s been postponed. What’s up?”

“The prints on the rappelling gear came back belonging to Heather Younts.” Satisfaction echoed in his voice.

“Wow. Wasn’t expecting that one.”

“Yeah, I’ve heard that word a lot today. So, you up for making a visit to Heather?”

“Sure. Have you tracked her down yet?”

“Just getting around to that,” he said. “It’s Friday afternoon. I wonder if she’s hanging around campus or heading to her parents’ house. Or a friend’s.” He paused and she heard rustling come over the line. “I’ve got her number written down somewhere.” Another pause. “Okay, here it is. I’m going to give her a call. Why don’t you meet me back at the campus? If she doesn’t answer, we’ll start asking questions.”

“I’m on my way. I’ll meet you in front of her dorm unless I hear back from you. Oh,” she added, “I’m going to see if I can track down Justin Marlowe. I want to ask him a few more questions about that pocketknife. If he didn’t use it on Bonnie, someone did.”

“What if it fell out of his pocket like he claimed?”

“I’d have less trouble believing that if it wasn’t covered in her blood.”

“Right. See you in a few.”

Fifteen minutes later, she pulled into the campus and wound her way through the streets to park in front of Heather’s dorm building.

Noah hadn’t called, so he must have gotten in touch with her.

Climbing out of her car, she saw Noah heading her way. He’d already parked in the almost deserted parking lot. The weekend for the law students had started, and no one wanted to hang around school when there were stresses to party off.

She almost smiled. It reminded her of her one week of wildness.

“What are you thinking about?” he asked as he caught up with her.

“My junior year of college.”

“What’s so funny about it?”

“It was the year I decided to quit being a nerd.”

He snorted a laugh. “You’re the last person I’d call a nerd.
