Legacy didn’t have any idea how she could look into this possibility, but she knew she needed to figure it out. She had to. She tried not to hope that Adin could somehow be saved from the death that she’d brought upon him.

But she knew if she could right that wrong, she was going to. No matter what the cost.

Chapter Nine

Legacy awoke Monday morning and got ready for “school” like she normally did on a school day, but today was her rendezvous with River and Calli to look into Casey’s death. She grabbed her books and made her way to the kitchen to eat breakfast. Lissa was already eating. Olive was still asleep.

“Good morning. You’re ready a little early,” Lissa said.

“Yeah,” she mumbled, grabbing some fruit. “Calli’s car is in the shop, so River suggested we all ride together.”

“Well, he lives right next door to Calli. Why drive all the way out here to get you too?”

She shrugged and spoke with practiced calm. “River will use any excuse to spend extra time with me. Besides, I think Calli preferred I pick her up, but River offered before I got a chance to. This way, we’re all riding together.”

Lissa smirked. “Yeah, sounds like River is trying to stay relevant in your life.”

She smiled at her. “He is relevant.”

“That’s not what I meant,” she mumbled, but then she got up and hugged her before leaving for work.

About ten minutes later, she heard River pull into the driveway, so she grabbed her backpack and ran outside. She slid into the backseat, and they made their way to Pike County.

Legacy had contemplated all day yesterday whether or not to tell River and Calli about the rose and her conversation with Rose. She figured she needed to, but she wanted to get this research completed first. If she could find out if Casey was really dead, then that’d mean there was another man who wasn’t dead, and maybe that man was Adin.

After the two hour drive, they finally arrived at the police station. They went inside and approached the front desk. The receptionist was young, blonde, and well-endowed. River flashed a smile and whispered, “I’ll do the talking.”

Legacy rolled her eyes at his enthusiasm.

The pretty, young thing noticed them walking in—well, noticed River—and smiled a playful smile as he approached her. She and Calli stood back a couple of feet.

“Hi there, darlin’, I was hoping you could help me,” River said smoothly.

“Why, I’d love to see how I can be of help to you. My name’s Heather.” She smiled at him.

River leaned against the counter, cocking his head to the side. “We’re looking for a police report or some kind of paperwork about a guy who died here back in December. His name is Casey Jones. He was—”

“Yeah, Casey.” Her smile faded. “How do you know him?”

“I’m a basketball player too,” he said, slyly. “Maybe you’ve seen me play?”

Her waning smile reasserted itself. “I think I’d remember you.”

“Maybe you should see me play then,” he murmured, leaning closer.
