FOURTEEN

The next morning, Felicity nursed a cup of coffee. Her eyes felt gritty and exhaustion weighed on her, but she couldn’t imagine going back to bed. The case—and the kiss with Noah—had caused a restless night’s sleep. She’d finally tossed the covers off at five. The first trail of sunshine drifted across the tile floor while she reviewed the case file.

Had Brooke been involved with Triple 6? It was hard to believe the kindhearted woman who’d cooked her pancakes for breakfast was part of a ruthless criminal organization, but Felicity had learned early on in her career that people were not always what they seemed.

She turned to a photo buried in the file. It was of Brooke and Kurtis. He had an arm slung around the young woman’s shoulders in a possessive hold. The other hand held a beer. Brooke’s smile was wide, but there were signs of strain around the edges and tension in her posture.

There was no date on the photograph, so there was no way of knowing when it’d been taken. There also weren’t any notes about the item in the case file. Felicity had no idea why it was there, except… maybe the former chief didn’t quite believe Kurtis was as innocent as he claimed.

Suspicions and questions. That’s all Felicity had at the moment. She flipped to Gene Webb’s mug shot. His stony stare iced her blood. It wasn’t difficult to imagine him killing someone for money. Is that why he was hunting her? It was the most logical answer. Hopefully, Noah’s colleague would uncover a connection between Gene and someone else on their suspect list.

God, help guide us to the right answer. Use me as Your instrument to get justice and stop a killer before⁠—

A knock on the front door interrupted her prayer. Felicity’s heart rate spiked as her head snapped up. Through the gauzy curtain covering the living room window, a shadow lingered on the porch. She slid up to the door, one hand on her weapon, and peeked out. Then breathed a sigh of relief. Cassie and Leah.

She swung the door open wide. The scent of warm cinnamon tangled with a blast of humid air. Cassie, her growing belly encased in a dress, smiled brightly. In one hand, she held a box of pastries. Leah hefted her daughter, Sophia, higher on her hip. The little girl wore shorts and a T-shirt. One hand was coated in drool and slimy crumbs as she gummed a cookie. At the end of the driveway, Tucker and Nathan were talking with the trooper guarding the house.

Felicity smiled at her friends, while raising a hand in greeting to the men. “Morning everyone. What a pleasant surprise.”

“We brought breakfast.” Leah stepped over the threshold. “Glad to see we didn’t wake you.”

“Nope. I’ve been up for a while.” She hesitated, glancing back at the men who were busy digging into their own pastry box. The trooper set aside the coffee mug Felicity had taken out to him earlier and extracted a bear claw.
