After Tara was briefed, she insisted both Shaun and Aidan go home for the night. Aidan resisted because he wanted to get back to work and find the killer now more than ever.

It didn’t matter to Aidan that the pain in his knee was taking its vengeance, but in the end, he was forced to cave.

He was spending the remainder of the night with his leg iced and propped on pillows as the EMT originally ordered. Cheyenne hadn’t said anything about his injuries, but he was sure the time would soon come—he could see it in her eyes.

Aidan had received a text an hour and a half ago from Douglas saying they had brought Thomas Blake in for questioning. According to him, he’d rented the house to a man named Ron Heady.

Thomas claimed to have never met Heady personally—only over the phone.

Heady had wanted to rent the place off the books, and because Thomas loved money more than background or credit checks, he went along with it.

Douglas ran the background check and learned Heady was an eighty-three-year-old man who had died of pneumonia two years prior.

At that point, Aidan suggested for Douglas to go after Jordan Blake for more questioning.

It was making sense to him that his instinct was wrong, and Jordan Blake could easily be The Carnations Killer. After all, he lied numerous times. It didn’t take much to believe he could easily use his uncle’s house to murder the women.

Aidan used his newfound free time to watch various news stations, but primarily WJFX. Surprisingly, the young Blake hadn’t reported on anything the past few days.

He had texted Douglas to see whether or not they’d contacted him. The answer came that Jordan seemed to have vanished. His uncle wasn’t being helpful with his nephew’s whereabouts, which made Aidan all the more suspicious.

Thomas had gone from being helpful to silent. Did he think Jordan killed these women? Was he trying to protect his nephew?

“Do you need anything?”

Cheyenne stepped in front of the couch where Aidan lay and looked at him. He grasped her hand and brought it to his lips for a kiss.

“Yes,” he told her. “I need you to sit.”

She frowned. “Aidan, we’ve got to talk.”

The doorbell interrupted them, and Aidan let out a soft curse, resulting in the famous Cheyenne glare.

“Why does it seem like every day I need to tell you not to talk that way?”

“Sorry,” he said.

Her arms crossed, she went to answer the door, and he heard her scold Shaun for not keeping himself and Aidan safe.

Shaun replied, “We’re alive, aren’t we?”

Cheyenne asked which shoulder was the sore one so she could punch the other. Aidan’s lips curved in a small smile as she and Shaun entered the living room.

Cheyenne appeared in the doorway to announce she was going to run to the store and pick up a frozen pizza for supper. Then she asked Shaun if he’d like to stay for dinner.

After he answered that of course, he would, she said her goodbyes and left.
