Nolan could almost see Callie’s brain spinning. Hurt rolled off of her in waves. She’d been the one Rick had abused, she’d been the one who’d had to leave her mother and the only home she’d ever known. And now she was the only one who was a target of a killer.

Jason stepped into the room and Nolan realized how long he’d kept his brother waiting outside. Time to wrap up. Besides, his head was killing him. “I’ve got enough for now. I’ll get this in to my supervisor and take it from there. I’ll also see if we can get someone to watch the house 24/7 until this is resolved.”

“I think that’s a good idea,” Callie said.

Nolan and Jason finally made it to the car once they’d made sure sufficient safety measures were in place. Jason paused as he opened the door. “You still got it bad for her, don’t you?”

“What?”

“Callie? You’re still in love with her.”

Nolan sighed. “Yeah.”

His brother blinked. “Wow. Didn’t think you’d actually admit it.”

“Why bother denying it? It’s true.”

“So what are you going to do about it?”

“Nothing. Right now. Except keep her safe.”

“So what now?”

Nolan pulled his phone from the clip on his belt. “I still haven’t heard from Clyde Durham.”

“The partner?”

“Yeah, the one the secretary overheard arguing with Rick two days before he died.”

“Where does he live? We could run by there and see if he’s home.”

Nolan sat for a moment, then nodded. “I’ve been trying to get ahold of the secretary again and she refuses to return my calls. I think paying a visit to Clyde is a good idea. Let’s do it.”

Within seconds, Nolan had the guy’s home address from the police software. He took the next right and within ten minutes was parked on the curb of the lawyer’s large home.

Jason let out a low whistle. “Nice.”

“Very.”

“These guys don’t just practice here in Tanner Hollow, do they?”

Nolan laughed. “No, they just live out here where there’s lots of acreage and elbow room.”

“And it’s pretty private. Might make it a little harder to track them down if someone wanted to find them.”

“True.”

They stepped out of the car and Nolan led the way up the brick front steps to the large oak door. He pressed the bell and waited.

Nothing.

“Guess he’s not here,” Jason said.

“Guess not.”

“Who else lives here? Anyone?”

“Not that I was able to find out. I know Mr. Durham’s divorced. He and his ex-wife have three children. They’re grown and gone, and his wife moved back to San Diego shortly after the divorce was final.” He grasped the knob and gave it a twist. Locked. “Garage door is shut.”

“Yeah, all three of them.”

“Let’s check the back.”

Together, they walked around the side of the house. The sunporch sprawled along the back. Nolan approached the door then stopped. “Uh oh.”

“What?”

“Look.”

Jason peered around him and flinched. “Ugh.”

“Yeah.”

“Is that him?”

Nolan pulled his phone from the clip on his belt. “Guess we’re going to have to find out.” While he placed the call to dispatch, requesting help, he couldn’t help but wonder who had put a bullet in the forehead of the dead man in the sunroom.
