“What’s going on?” Detective Hunter asked. Her big brown eyes darted between Cieran and Fraser, then lingered briefly on Detective Black’s phone before darting back to the lead detective. “You said that Doctor Morris found a match? Or was it a partial match?”

“The latter,” the dark-haired detective replied, keeping his eyes firmly trained on Fraser. He started to explain to Detective Hunter what Morris had discovered. “The strand of hair didn’t get a full match, but it seems like whoever the hair belongs to is related to two members of our department. One of whom is Lachlan Brodie, and the other is Fraser.”

“Wait, huh?” She said, “That doesn’t make any sense. What does Fraser have to do with anything?” She sounded almost angry, but Cieran watched her draw in a deep breath, and in an instant, she seemed to calm down. “Explain.”

“Cieran,” the red-haired man urged. His eyes were wide, and he shook his head. It was obvious he didn’t want Cieran to explain to Detective Hunter, but Cieran paid that request no mind.

“You already knew that he had something to do with this,” Detective Hunter said. There was no hint of a question in the woman’s voice. She shook her head and bit her tongue. “You know what? I am so tired of secrets.”

“We’ve been working on this case the entire night already, not making any progress whatsoever. Meanwhile, you’ve had a certain little thread in your back pocket all this time? Tell me what’s going on,” she demanded.

Cieran turned to Fraser, raising a single eyebrow as though to say, are you going to tell her or am I?

“It doesn’t mean anything,” the red-haired man asserted, his voice wavering just slightly. “It could just be a coincidence.”

Detective Black raised a single eyebrow. Fraser knew, perhaps better than Cieran had, that coincidences didn’t just happen in their line of work. Not only was one of Fraser’s half siblings now involved in this case, but two of them. That was no coincidence.

Fraser cursed under his breath, tilting his head toward the ceiling. “Lachlan’s my brother, my half-brother, I mean. We’ve never met. I don’t even know if he knows that I exist, but still, he’s my brother. My dad was apparently having affairs throughout his entire marriage with my mother and had a tonne of kids through those. Lachlan was one of those.”

Detective Black finished for him. “And whoever this strand of hair belonged to is another.” He said it with such confidence that there should have been no questioning him.

Detective Hunter seemed convinced. She nodded her head and seemed ready to move on and follow this lead. Fraser, on the other hand, was shifting his weight back and forth between each leg anxiously.

“You think?” he asked, his skin flushed the same color as his hair. The look on his face was apprehensive. There was nothing that the crime scene technician wanted less, it seemed, than to be involved in this case any more than he already was. Fraser was grimacing, almost looking as though he was in pain.
