Here’s something else I don’t do. I don’t text women, but I can’t get you out of my head. Every meeting I sat in today, I used as an excuse to dream about you. I look forward to our dinner tomorrow, and please tell your sister it’s been lovely getting to know her. I wish her safe travels.

I glanced up at Sadie. “Jax said it was lovely getting to know you.”

“He didn’t get to know me. I was only playing a part. A part for you.”

I let out a deep sigh. “I know, and I appreciate it.”

“Here’s a question for you.”

“What?”

“What if it’s not just about you? What if they find out who you are and what you plan to do and they come after Mom and Dad? Then how would you feel?”

My blood turned icy and I panicked.

“What kind of question is that? You know how I’d feel, but that’s not going to happen.”

“You can’t be sure.”

“Calamari on the house.” Our server brought over one of my all-time favorites from here, fried calamari with lemon and garlic aioli.

“Thank you,” I told the server and waved at Cindy, who smiled.

“Let’s not talk about this anymore. This is your last night here, and we had a fabulous brunch, followed by shopping, and now a dinner at one of my favorite restaurants.”

“Okay. Deal.” She shook my hand before dipping calamari in the sauce and taking a bite.

After a few seconds of silence, she settled into her chair and relaxed a little more.

“Why do you think they’re trying to tie Missy to the rest of the murders?” my sister asked, leaving me completely surprised.

“Well, that’s not what I expected you to bring up.” I cocked my head and raised a brow, unsure whether she really wanted to hear my thoughts.

“Just because I worry about what you do for living, doesn’t mean I don’t find it fascinating.”

My anxiety eased as I began relaying my thoughts.

“I think there’s a bigger cover-up going on, but I don’t know who’s behind it or what they’re trying to cover up. It could be the police trying to cover up sloppy police work, it could be the councilman putting pressure on the department to tie everything together so his family has a resolution, or I guess it could be that they have real evidence backing their claim that I’m not privy to.” I swallowed away that last thought. “I highly doubt that though. I was looking at the photos last night.”

“When you were supposed to be sleeping?” She took another bite of calamari.

“Possibly.” I smiled mischievously. “And there are so many things that are off. As I’ve mentioned before, Missy’s restraints weren’t the same, the way she was stabbed and marked up doesn’t match any of the other entry wounds on the other victims, and where she was found doesn’t make sense either. Also, all the other women also had drug paraphernalia on them and around them and Missy didn’t. I don’t know. Things aren’t adding up.”

“I almost think you find it more fascinating than investigating the Volkovs.
