CHAPTER TWENTY ONE

Laura pulled up outside a small café, one of the only venues that was still open along this strip of the road. In the yellow lights of the interior, she could see Caleb Rowntree through the window, looking annoyingly good under what she was sure would not be flattering lighting for her own skin.

She got out of the car and headed inside, joining him directly. A waitress followed her from the door to pour coffee into a cup, which Laura accepted gratefully. Maybe it would be better than the swill at the precinct.

“You wanted to meet?” Laura said. It felt strangely anticlimactic. What should have been their initial greeting had been essentially stolen by the waitress, who swept in just as Laura had been about to say hello.

“I did,” Caleb said. He flashed her a wide smile, as charming as it was attractive. “You must be tired. You’ve been at it all day?”

“Yep,” Laura said, sipping her coffee. She almost rolled her eyes in pleasure. It was good coffee – strong and flavorful. Just what she needed to both combat the headache and keep her awake long enough to do what she needed to do.

Caleb laughed, obviously watching her reaction. “Good coffee?”

“Better than what they have at the precinct,” Laura admitted. “So, what was it?”

“Right,” Caleb said, leaning forward over the table conspiratorially. “Well, I think I might have a lead for you.”

Laura raised an eyebrow. She hadn’t told him that they had already arrested a suspect. It would be interesting if he could name the same man. “What is it?” she asked, leaning forward as well in spite of herself.

He was probably going to be a star, as soon as he got his foot in the door with a movie or two.

“There was a student in the class,” he said. “With Suzanna, I mean. I think he could be suspicious. He only came once or twice, and I never saw him with Lucile – but if he tried one class, I’m living proof that it’s possible to have tried more than one.”

“What was his name?” Laura asked.

“I’m not entirely sure, but I know it was Robert something,” Caleb said. He lifted the sugar shaker and poured some into his own coffee, stirring it around. He liked it sweet, apparently. “I was thinking you might be able to get his full name from the class records?”

“It’s possible,” Laura said. She sipped her coffee again. This clearly didn’t line up with Scott Darnell, but there was no harm in listening. “Go on.”

“Well, he was just kind of creepy,” Caleb said. He was animated as he spoke, his face moving expressively and his hands darting through the air. Laura found she could hardly look away from him. “He had this way about him, always skulking to the back of the class and refusing to take part in things. I think Suzanna
