The silent siren on her dashboard flashed red. Agnes honked the car’s horn at a crowd of curious people filling the street. They parted when she turned on the siren. A black-white officer motioned for her to park in front of the school next to the coroner’s white van. Police cars were lined up neatly in the west parking lot.

But it was the brown sedan that made her heart fall to her toes. The captain was here and wouldn’t be happy when she came strolling to the crime scene with Hoss trailing her like a shadow.

She opened her car door an inch. “Hoss, don’t piss off Tom.”

“I’ll try.”

She narrowed her eyes. “Do better than try.”

He got out before she did and slammed the door. She immediately climbed out about to send his ass back to jail. Having sex would not change anything. The job came first.

The same officer blocked Hoss’s path. “You need to get back.”

She flashed out her badge. “He’s with me. He’s an observer. Where’s the body?”

“In a hallway outside her classroom. Forensics is already down there.” He stuck out his thumb. “By the way, the feds are here.”

“Lovely.” That’s when she noticed the black car parked in between two squad cars. Her nerves knotted up into tiny tangled balls of strings. Oh, God, please, please, please, don’t let it be Frank.

She motioned to Hoss to follow her. “Come on.”

He leaned close. “What are feds?”

“Annoying assholes who think they’re gods, and we’re a bunch of bumpkins.”

He smiled. “I’ve never met a god before.”

She couldn’t help but shake her head and grin.

They hurried into the faded red brick building that reminded her more of a detention center with security cameras posted in the hallways rather than an elementary school. But maybe the cameras would give them a break on the case. She could only hope.

Tom and the captain were in the window-framed office that looked like any other school office with wire baskets, pens, and papers sitting on a Formica counter. So far, the suits hadn’t made an appearance.

But by Tom and the captain’s grim faces, she doubted they’d hit pay dirt.

The captain and Tom were talking with a tall thirtyish looking man. His black hair stood on end as if he’d been running his hand through it. His face was whiter than the tile floor.

An officer stood guard in front of one hallway. Agnes could make out a body sprawled out that had been split open like the other victims.

Sadness filled Hoss’s eyes. “Another Zalarain’s lineage has been severed.”

“I’m sorry, Hoss.”

He nodded but didn’t answer.

Tom impatiently motioned for her to come inside. When she entered, the captain frowned. “Why the hell is he here?”

“We need him.” Agnes refused to flinch. “Captain, did you call the feds? I was handling the investigation.”

“No. I didn’t. But our illustrious mayor panicked.”

“Humpf, yeah, I bet,” Tom mumbled. “Your brother will be less than pleased.”

Air sucked out of Agnes as if she was hit the gut with a bat. “He’s here?”

Tom smiled. “Of course.
