“THANKS, IAPPRECIATE YOUR time,” Matt said into the phone, then hung up and released a sigh of frustration. He pulled his list in front of him and crossed through the name of Mark Harris. Miranda’s ex-husband had a rock-solid alibi at the time of her murder. He’d been working the night shift at his job in a factory in Dallas. A call to his supervisor had confirmed that he’d been there until noon on the day of the murder. It was physically impossible for him to have been here in Bridgewater murdering his ex-wife and at work at the same time.

Even though it was just after ten, Matt already felt the burn of aggravation by his lack of progress. Two murders and not enough physical evidence left behind to fill a page. Two murders and not a viable suspect leaping to the head of the list.

And if the killer stayed on the time line he’d established between Miranda and Carolyn’s murder, then by tomorrow morning there should be another body. God, he couldn’t let that happen. How was he supposed to protect all the young women in his town?

There was a rapid knock on the door and Joey stuck his head inside. “Agent Taylor is here to see you,”

he said.

Matt couldn’t help that his spirits lifted just a little bit as he anticipated Jenna’s presence. He told himself it was because he hoped she was bringing something concerning their investigation, but he knew that was a lie. His pleasure in seeing her again was strictly male and had nothing to do with business.

She swept into the office with a simmering energy. Dressed in a pair of white jeans and a red short-sleeved blouse, she looked better prepared for a picnic than a murder investigation.

“Good morning,” he said and gestured her toward the chair in front of his desk.

“Busy morning,” she replied and ignored the chair.

“You might want to grab an evidence kit and come with me outside to my car.”

He sat up straighter. “Why? What’s going on?”

“Come outside and you’ll see.”

Matt followed her outside where she pointed to the passenger-side door of her car. “Don’t touch it. Just look inside.”

Matt peered in through the window and his heart stuttered to a halt as he saw the red rose lying on the upholstery. “Where did that come from?” he asked as he straightened and looked at her.

“I found it there when I left Dr. Johnson’s office a few minutes ago,” she replied.

“Consider your car officially impounded,” he said as a muscle pulsed at his jaw. “And come back inside and tell me exactly what you’ve been doing this morning.”

When he returned to the office Joey and Abe sat at their desks. “Abe, I’m impounding Agent Taylor’s rental car. I want you to go over it with a fine-tooth comb and pay particular attention to the passenger side. Joey, there’s a rose on the passenger seat, see to it that it’s bagged and tagged.”

Joey’s eyes opened wide as he looked first at Matt, then at Jenna.
