They wouldn’t let Robin see Sam or talk to him. Conflict of interest, Detective Macias kept saying, but she had no idea how that would work. Sam was her friend and accused of murder, and she wanted to see him and didn’t plan to break Sam out with smuggled nail files.

No, she’d get him out by finding the real killer. Because who had the killer proved he was after with every crime scene he laid out for them to find?

Robin.

Bait. She’d be bait.

She wasn’t about to share that with Detective Macias, though. Nasty man. She glared at his face on the TV as he talked about how they planned to come up with more substantial evidence by the time Sam went to trial. They wouldn’t. How could they? Evidence against an innocent man?

No. Long before that, they’d have the real killer handed to them. By Robin. By limpy, gimpy little Robin. Because really, that kiss hadn’t been long enough, and she needed to get Sam out and kissing her again so she could make sure he really meant what she thought he meant. What she hoped he meant.

Her cell rang, and she answered without checking the number sure it would be Sam, sure he’d been released, cleared. She heard Detective Macias’s voice, and her heart sank.

“Albrecht ever make you feel threatened?”

“No, of course not.”

“Uneasy? The way he looks at you? Touches you? Talks to you?”

“No.” She felt her defenses rise up against this officer who wanted to frame the man she loved. He made her feel childish and anxious at the same time.

“That day on the beach, when he used you as an alibi—”

“He was there. I told you that.”

“I understand.” He didn’t say he believed either one of them. “Anything he did that day that made you feel uncomfortable?”

“He didn’t, no.”

Detective Macias went on. “The kids on your team. I know he’s close to some of them. That doesn’t bother you?”

“No, and it doesn’t bother them, either. It shouldn’t. He’s fine. He loves them. He’d die to protect them.” Only when she took a breath did she realize she’d echoed Danny’s claim.

“How about the way he talks about the victims?”

“He’s angry. Sad. All the normal feelings any human would have in this situation.”

“I see.” She heard papers rustle before he said, “How about when he talks about other people? He got any suspicions?”

“He says the person who’s doing this is nuts.”

Macias’s tone strengthened. “Look, Robin, I know you’re not happy, but you’ve got to tell me anything that will help. You don’t want anything to happen to the two kids who are still missing, do you?”

As if it would be her fault if she didn’t offer up a suspect. Should she tell him her idea? See what he thought of using her as bait?

“Why are you asking me? I don’t know who this is. Do you think I’m protecting someone?”

“If you were, it would be Sam, wouldn’t it?”

Robin ran a shaking hand through her hair. What would it take
