Chapter Eighteen

Two hours went by fast, much to Hunter's surprise. With a Styrofoam cup of soda in hand, he walked out of the room with Jesse as he anticipated seeing Becca. He searched the lobby for her and Shara, but didn't see them. Maybe they were outside.

"You coming back next week?" Jesse inquired.

Hunter nodded at him. "You know, I think I might. I didn't expect this to help, but it did. What about you?"

"Yeah, I think so too. See you then."

"Hey, want to meet Becca? She's supposed to be here with a friend to pick me up. I'd love for you to meet her."

Jesse shook his head. "Nah, I'd better get home. Maybe next time. Have a good week." With that, he took off.

Odd, but Hunter shook it off. Jesse seemed the reserved type. He shrugged and went outside to look for Becca and Shara.

Ten minutes later, he was about to pull his phone out to call them, but stopped when the car pulled up. He ran toward it. "Hey! Where you been? Did you two have girl talk and forget about me?" he teased as he climbed in the back.

Shara was in the driver's seat, which seemed a little odd since this was Becca's car. When Becca turned her head to look back at him, there were tears in her eyes.

"Angel? What happened?" Hunter touched her face gently. His pulse quickened as he wondered what was wrong.

Becca sucked in a breath. "Carrie's dead. I just identified her b-body."

"Wait, what? Dead? Why did you have to ID her? When?" He ran a hand through his hair, taking in this information.

"We were sitting in a coffee shop when they called. The police said this was a unique situation. I had to know."

"Why didn't you wait for me?" The thought of her having to do something of this magnitude alone horrified him.

"You needed to be where you were tonight. It's not like you saw her anyway, so I figured I could get it done and over with. Now I just can't get the image out of my head." Becca choked back a sob.

"I wish I was with you." He leaned against the seat and held her hand, their faces close. "She can't hurt you any more, sweet girl. Be thankful for that. You don't have to fear her."

"I know," Becca said through her tears. "But I was hoping for answers. She knew something, and I don't know if we'll ever find out now."

"We will. Jed's good at what he does. We'll get answers." Somehow. Not that Hunter ever expected to get answers from Carrie if they'd found her alive, but Becca needed to know. With what her grandparents said and that phone message when Vince had apparently called, they'd been missing something all along.

Half an hour later, they were home and Shara had left. She told them both if they needed anything to call her.

"You're pretty sure it was her?" Hunter asked as he pulled Becca close.

"I couldn't forget her face even if I tried.
