Chapter Eleven

“Your house was broken into last night and you didn’t call me?”

Taylor tried not to squirm under Meredith’s stern glare as she sat across from her in Meredith’s office. “They didn’t take anything and I wasn’t home. Nothing was damaged.”

“What were they after?”

Goosebumps rose on Taylor’s arms from the air conditioning. Meredith must have had another hot flash and cranked the thermostat down to sub-arctic temps. “Most likely information on the Jarvis case. My laptop was up and running when I entered the place and my file on the Jarvis case was open. I always close out everything and all my stuff is password protected. Whoever broke in disarmed my security system and got around my laptop’s security.”

“Damn it.” Meredith’s face grew even more grim. “I can’t believe how this case is spinning out of control. Cunningham is going to have my badge before this is over. You should have called me.”

“Yes, ma’am, I should have, but I was exhausted and all I wanted was some sleep.” Mostly the truth. “I locked up and went to a friend’s for the remainder of the night. I didn’t see any reason to wake you and put a lot of other people out that late. I came here first thing this morning to inform you.”

Meredith’s lips worked. “You didn’t call me because you knew I would chew your ass out about this.”

Taylor decided to take the 5th and stay silent.

“Well, at least you were smart enough not to stay at your place afterwards. Tell me you didn’t touch anything.” Mer leaned forward and grabbed her phone. “I’ll get a tech team over there right now.”

There was no way Taylor was confessing that she’d already had Charlie Schock at her place dusting for prints. Better to keep quiet about that. Besides, the place had been a mess with fingerprint residue and she’d wiped everything down after Charlie was done. There were no prints to find. “Don’t waste FBI resources on me. There won’t be any prints, trust me. Whoever did this is good. I kicked a couple of rocks yesterday on the Jarvis case and someone obviously didn’t like it. I’m sure the break-in is related to that. I want to bring Dottie Hernandez in for—”

Meredith held up a finger as she spoke into the handset. “Yeah, Cora, it’s me. I need a team over at Taylor Sinclair’s place as soon as possible. It was broken into last night. Nothing was damaged, but I want you to dust for prints and collect any evidence you can find.”

Cora said something, Mer gave her an affirmative, and the two disconnected. “Who’s Dottie Hernandez?” she asked, dropping the handset back into its cradle.

Oh boy. Mer was forcing her to come clean about the fingerprinting. It was either that, or Cora would figure out that Taylor had already wiped everything down. “Look, Mer. The tech team won’t find any prints other than mine. I already had a friend check.”

“You what?” Meredith looked like she was about to come out of her chair.
