Chapter 12

AFTER OUR RUN-IN WITH Kitty, we returned to the precinct. The next few hours were spent going over our findings with Chloe and Asha. We paid another visit to Melinda to see if she’d turned up anything, but there was nothing important to add from the lab just yet.

By the time I was wrapping up the paperwork from the day’s events, I glanced at the clock and was surprised to see the end of the workday was nearing. As much as I wanted to continue the hunt for Travis’s killer, we were temporarily stalled.

Asha had put out alerts on Holden and was digging into his past. She’d put flags on his credit cards and other accounts so she’d know the second he accessed any of them. She and Chloe had their heads together at Asha’s workstation, digging into Holden’s past for names of family members or friends who might know where he’d gone to crash after giving up his apartment.

“I talked to the Newton parents,” I said, startling both women with my announcement. “They claim to have no clue where Holden’s gone.”

“How much do you trust them?” Asha straightened. “They’re his parents. For all we know, they could be hiding him in their basement. And we don’t have enough for a warrant to get in there.”

“I don’t trust them at all,” I said. “I think Karen slipped earlier this afternoon mentioning Holden’s name, and I bet she’s feeling pretty bad about it.”

“Interesting. Well, not much to do about it tonight. Speaking of tonight, isn’t your man coming into town? Shouldn’t you be home getting pretty or something?”

“You heard about that?”

“Your man?” Chloe looked intrigued.

I ignored her. “I’m actually going to head home. I’ll grab some food on the way, so there’s something in the fridge when Jack lands. Are you guys okay here for now?”

“Get out of here,” Asha said. “We’ll talk to you tomorrow.”

“If you turn up anything, I want to know about it tonight.”

Asha waggled her eyebrows. “Unless someone’s in danger, I’m not bothering you until sunrise.”

“This is part business trip,” I said. “He’s bringing a buddy with him.”

“Is this buddy cute?” Asha asked. “Chloe’s single.”

“I have no clue what he looks like,” I said. “He’s here to help consult on a case. That’s it.”

“Either way, you’re allowed a couple of hours off.” Asha winked. “See you in the morning. Tell Jack I said hi.”

I ducked out of the precinct before I could get caught up in any more discussions about the case or my situation with Jack. On the way home, I stopped at Bellini’s to pick up a pizza, some breadsticks, and a side salad because I was feeling fancy. By the time I got home, I realized I was cutting it close. I’d be lucky if I had time to shower before Jack arrived.

I parked outside my house in the driveway, carefully balanced the food on one arm, and made my way toward the front door. I was halfway there when a pizza box was lifted off my arm, and I just about dropped the salad in surprise.
