“And that’s all I’ve got right now.”

Gareth sat with Mitch and Colt, as well as the other officers of the Baytown Police Department, Burt, Sam, Grant, and Ginny, having just delivered all his investigative information. “Katelyn and I informally talked with the Berry employees at the funeral, except for Carrie. I was frustrated because she was the one I wanted to speak to since finding out Walter was paying for some of her college costs.”

“You said she was there with her parents. Do you think they know?” Grant asked.

Shrugging his shoulders, Gareth replied, “I don’t know. I was going to go to William first to see if he knew anything since it’s not too uncommon for employers to assist with educational costs.”

“Do that,” Mitch said, looking up from the report. “We’ve got to finish processing the body recovery scene and work to determine where his body came from.” Glancing at Grant and Burt, he said, “I’ll have you two continue to work the golf course scene. Sam, you and Ginny check to see what the body might have been transported in and from where. I’ll be talking to Eleanor again, but with the town’s needs still in place, I’ll have Gareth and Katelyn investigate as well and report to me.”

Colt added, “I’ll go with Mitch when he talks to Eleanor. I want to introduce myself to her and, since they live in the county, I’ll have my deputies do a preliminary search of the property.”

Gareth swung by the office and watched as Katelyn flipped over the CLOSED sign and locked the front door as he rounded the front of his SUV to open her door. She smiled as he offered his hand and stepped up into the vehicle.

He had barely made it into the driver’s seat when she peppered him with questions. “What do you think the lawyer wants to talk to her about? Do you think he changed his will? Do you think Eleanor’s going to have a surprise?”

“Babe, slow down,” he chuckled, pulling out onto the road heading out of town. “Remember, when investigating, use your imagination but don’t get ahead of yourself. Take the information that comes in and look at it from all points of view.”

Leaning back, she huffed, “I know, I know. It’s just so hard…I hate this for Eleanor.”

Reaching over, he placed his hand on her thigh, palm up in invitation. She responded immediately, linking her fingers with his.

“You’ve got to be careful. I know you really like Eleanor, but you’re getting personal with a client and that can be difficult when we have to deliver bad news.”
