Chapter Ten

“I should be there at the sheriff’s office when the San Antonio cops bring in Buddy,” Rachel said.

It wasn’t the first time she’d mentioned that in the past half hour, since they’d gotten the call from the PI at the hospital, and Griff knew it was frustrating for Rachel to be tucked away at her family’s ranch while not one but two of their suspects were being brought in for questioning. SAPD was on the way to McCall Canyon with Buddy, but at this very minute the doctors were also in the process of releasing Marlon, who would also be escorted to Egan’s office.

And that was the reason neither Griff nor Egan wanted Rachel there.

Either Marlon or Buddy could be the person who’d tried to kill her, and while it might give her some satisfaction to face them down, it was way too dangerous. Griff doubted that either man would attack her at the sheriff’s office, but a trip there would mean being out on the road. With the sniper still at large, it was a huge risk he didn’t want to take.

Griff continued to set up his laptop while Rachel paced across her office. “You’ll be able to watch the interrogations,” he reminded her. “Egan will text us when he’s ready.”

Griff was trying to link to the camera in the room where Egan would be conducting the interviews. She already knew all that, of course, but judging from the look she gave him, merely watching wouldn’t be enough.

He considered playing the guilt card and mentioning that he didn’t want to be shot at again today, but he didn’t want to put that on Rachel. She already looked ready to drop, and that’s why Griff stopped what he was doing. He took her by the hand and had her sit on the small sofa.

“Why would Buddy have even tried to see my mother?” she asked. Griff put a bottle of water in her hand, and she took a sip as if she were on autopilot.

It was a question he’d been giving a lot of thought to in the short time since they’d learned about it. Part of him wanted to dismiss it as the actions of a druggie who might not even know what he was doing. But that couldn’t be right. Buddy would have had to remember Warren’s wife, along with also knowing that she was in the hospital. According to Warren, the man had never met Helen, so what could he have wanted to say to her that he couldn’t have said to Warren? In a simple phone call...

Yes, something about that definitely didn’t make sense.

Griff was in such deep thought that it took him a moment to realize Rachel was staring at him. “Please don’t keep anything from me. There have been too many secrets already.”

Yes, there had been, and Griff didn’t want any more. He was just now starting to tear down the walls that Rachel had put up between them, and he didn’t want to do anything to ruin that.
