“Do you want to go somewhere for coffee?” Morgan asked Krys the moment they walked out of the morgue and into the corridor.

Krys shook her head. “Not unless that coffee comes with a side order of answers,” she told the detective.

“In my business,” Morgan replied, “those take time.” He paused for a moment as a thought occurred to him. “Since we’re down here, why don’t we stop by the computer lab?” he suggested.

She thought of the puzzle they had dropped in Valri’s lap the last time they had stopped there. She doubted if the woman had come up with any answers, but since Morgan had suggested it, she thought they should check. She had already called ahead to reschedule her appointment at Gerry’s.

“Sure,” Krys agreed gamely. “Might as well get all my disappointments over with at once,” she told Morgan.

“I didn’t peg you for someone who just gave up,” he commented as they went down the opposite direction in the hall.

“I’m not giving up,” Krys protested. “I’m just taking your advice and preparing myself for the worst.”

“I also said, hope for the best,” he reminded her as they went toward the lab.

“Sorry, right now my optimism is in rather low supply.” And then she realized how that had to have sounded to him. “But don’t worry, I’ll rally soon,” she promised. “It’s just that at the moment, I feel a little beaten down—although not nearly as badly beaten down as Claire is—was,” she corrected herself.

Morgan thought it was safer not to comment on what she’d just said.

However, as he walked into the computer lab, he looked at Valri. He found it impossible to gauge her mood. This could be good or bad.

“Listen,” he told his cousin, “if you have anything hopeful to tell us, now would be the time to do it.”

“All right,” she agreed. “But this might be one of those things that qualifies as a bad news/good news situation,” Valri told him.

“We’ve already had one of those today, but go ahead,” he encouraged. “Tell us.”

“You said you wanted me to find out who Bluebeard was,” she reminded the two people at her desk.

“We did,” Morgan confirmed. His breath felt as if it was sticking in his throat as he never took his eyes off her face, waiting to hear what he was almost certain that he was going to hear.

Valri smiled. “Well, I did.”
