Chapter 12

Dawn was breaking when Evan dropped Chelsea at home before driving to his place. He was grateful for the light traffic because he wouldn’t have trusted his reflexes if he had to make his way through rush hour. He was worn out. Even the adrenaline that had kept him going was at an all-time low. All he could think about was getting home, turning up the heat, and crawling into bed.

It was strange how fatigue worked. He was in a dream-like state, but in the back of his mind, he was wide awake. His brain had already set up the murder board, aligned the facts they had so far, and planned the next steps of the investigation. He’d noticed this process throughout the years, recognized it, and knew that after a few hours of sleep, he would wake up knowing exactly what he had to do. But right now, he needed to turn off his brain.

Once home, he undressed, tossed his clothes in the hamper, took a scalding shower, and then donned an old T-shirt and sweatpants. His jaw hurt because he’d kept it clenched for so long. He swallowed a couple of aspirin tablets, knowing it wouldn’t prevent him from catching a cold, but it would help warm him and relieve the various pains in his tense muscles. Kieran followed him throughout the house until Evan walked into the kitchen and filled his bowls with food and water. Somehow he mustered the strength to bend and stroke the cat a few times. The feline’s grateful purr made him feel better. Leaving Kieran to his breakfast, Evan shuffled to the bedroom. He closed the wooden shutters to block out the light, curled up in bed under the thick duvet, and passed out.
