Chapter Sixteen

AN HOUR LATER they walked out of the police station. Hank Wright had been there and had shown both Miranda Hutchens and her parents the second photograph, along with the message about the dangers of online bullying. Turned out Kit hadn’t been the only one having to apologize.

Kit had left her car at the diner and caught a ride with Izzy. Although she wanted to baby her, Izzy knew it was impractical and probably unnecessary. It was difficult to imagine a murderer would attack anyone now that they were all on high alert. Kit had promised to call Izzy when she was leaving work and come straight home with no stops along the way.

They headed inside the hospital and Izzy was surprised to see Agent Randall talking animatedly to Chief Tyson outside Jesse’s room like they were old friends.

They both looked up when she and Kit approached.

“Kit would like to talk to Jesse for a few minutes,” Izzy asked Chief Tyson. “But only if that would be okay with you?”

Both men frowned and then looked at one another. Randall shrugged. The chief licked his lips and then nodded. He addressed Kit. “Don’t talk to him about the assault. Don’t ask him any questions about that night. He doesn’t remember much after he was hit on the head and is still in a lot of pain whenever the meds wear off.” His eyes turned flat. “If you upset him, I’ll haul your ass off to jail, got it?”

Kit nodded meekly. “I don’t want to upset him. I thought he might want to talk about Helena with someone who knew and loved her.” Tears gathered in her eyes, but she blinked them back. She seemed to have finally realized that this wasn’t about her.

The chief opened the door and let her in. Jesse’s mother came out with a worried expression on her face.

“Want me to go in with them?” Izzy volunteered even though she didn’t really want to.

“No,” Tyson said. “Jesse’s starting to chafe at the restrictions. It’ll be good for them to spend a little time together. Get the grieving process started.”

“I need to go home. My mom has a church meeting at four.” Charlene Tyson checked her watch. Izzy had discovered the other night that Charlene was an epileptic and wasn’t allowed to drive.

“I’d give you a ride, but I need to drop Kit back at the diner around five.”

“You sure that’s a good idea?” asked Chief Tyson.

Izzy held her hands wide to say it wasn’t her choice, but she understood the need to bury herself in work. “She wants to try and carry on life as normal. It seems like a reasonable thing to do.”

“I’ll take her to the diner,” Tyson said. “That way people will be reminded I’m not happy about the whole photo saga.”

She glanced at Agent Randall. “Did they figure out who sent that awful message yet?”

He nodded. “Yes and no. A friend of mine tracked it and deleted it from most sites. It originated from Franky Cirencester’s phone, but he said it he didn’t send it to anyone.
