After that conversation, they’d turned to other topics, like the case. Judah decided that they would just drive by the lake, but also that they would look into all three instances at the police department, in case there were further records they could follow up on.

“I also want to go talk to the survivors, and maybe the family of the woman who didn’t make it, if we can.” Piper admired the way he worked a case, the way he seemed just attentive enough to it without being stressed. It seemed to come naturally to him, trying to save the world, and Piper loved him for it.

Or could. Maybe. One day.

It was too soon to consider that word, really. Wasn’t it?

“We can do that.” She agreed with him, trying to keep her mind on a businesslike track.

Whatever. She was trying to stop remembering how it felt to kiss Judah Wicks; that was the honest truth.

They hiked back down to Judah’s car fairly quickly.

“So...the police department and interviews, or the last scene?” Piper asked as they climbed in.

“Honest, I’d like to see where you recovered the woman’s body.” Judah looked at her like he was gauging her reaction. “Is that okay? If it’s too much for you, I can see if someone else will take me there.”

Piper shook her head. “Not a lot of people are going to be comfortable navigating a boat on that stretch of Fourteen-Mile River. That was part of why I was involved in that rescue.”

“Are you up for it today? I know we’ve already done a lot.”

He didn’t mean it as a challenge, but Piper raised an eyebrow anyway. “I think I can keep up with you pretty well, Judah.”

“You definitely can.” He grinned.

Maybe that was what appealed to her most about him. He didn’t seem like he needed to outdo her. Back when they had been climbing partners briefly, it had never seemed like he was trying to push her too far, or to show off in front of her. He’d encouraged her to do her best and he’d done his and they’d just...matched.

Piper couldn’t remember the last time she was so thankful to be wrong. Or the last time she had been so thankful for second chances.

“If we’re going to go to the recovery site of the woman who drowned, we’re going to need to go to SAR headquarters and get an airboat.”

“Is it okay for you to do that?”

Piper nodded. “It shouldn’t be a problem. I’ll call Jake just to be sure.” Jake Stone, the head of Raven Pass Search and Rescue, tended to be understanding about things like this. As long as it wasn’t currently needed and she was prepared to take the boat back in the event that it was needed for a rescue, she was fairly certain he would say it was fine.

A quick phone call confirmed that.

“We’re all set. The boat is in town at headquarters and we can trailer it to the river and I’ll show you.”
