Thirty-Eight

Michael Rader is in the wind. To find him I’d need Sheriff Gray’s help. He could call the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office and check Michael out. The Monroe Correctional Complex is in that county. But to do that Sheriff Gray will want to know why I’m interested. I don’t want to tell him more about my past.

I doubt he would have hired me if he knew everything about me. I know I wouldn’t. I think that’s because, deep down, I feel like a fraud. Dr. Albright warned me that it would be a lifelong battle and I might never fully believe that I am a good person but that the sins of my past don’t define me.

Maybe I’m wrong about Michael Rader. Maybe the sins of his past don’t define him. I’m sure he killed Kim Mock in prison, but he did it to protect his brother. He threatened Monique Delmont and got all the evidence I had given her against his scumbag brother. The evidence proving Alex was a serial killer. He must have found Marie’s body after I killed her. I don’t know how he could have known about me unless Marie or Alex told him about my mother and about Alex being my father.

“I’ll talk to the sheriff,” I say. “He knows the Snohomish County Sheriff and can get more information than we can.”

“What should I do?”

“Call Mr. Bridges again. The guy from the victims’ advocacy group. See if he can remember anyone in particular that Mrs. Delmont talked about.” I’m hoping he mentions the names Blume and Moriarty. I want to get into those cases and find the dead girls’ parents again. I want to see if they’ve also had hang-up calls. Part of the evidence Michael Rader took from Monique were pictures of their murdered daughters.

Ronnie hurries off and I take a deep breath before knocking on Sheriff Gray’s door.

“Come in,” he says, and I can hear a desk drawer closing.

When I enter, I can smell hamburgers and onions. I’m sure if I look in his drawer there will be a greasy bag full of the stuff. He’s got a smudge on his chin. I don’t point it out. Who am I to judge? His wife does enough of that to the point he has to hide his food like an alcoholic hides his bottles. Burger-aholic. That’s him.

“You look like hell,” he says.

I try to perk up. I don’t do a good job of it.

“Sheriff, I need your help with this case,” I tell him. I shut the door behind me and take a seat across from his desk.

“You’re biting your nails again, Megan. What’s wrong?”

I take my finger away from my mouth and wipe it on my slacks. I grip my hands in my lap and take another deep breath. I don’t know how much I should tell him. I don’t know what to tell him. I don’t know because I might walk out of here in handcuffs.

He beats me to the punch. “This
