The next morning, Rex watched as Lily lay still in the hospital bed. It had been a long night. That had been one close call. Just as Derrick had surmised, the doctor had told him that if she’d eaten the entire piece of pizza that she’d most likely be dead by now.

They were still determining the exact type of poison used, but at the end of the day it didn’t really matter. What mattered was that Lily had almost been killed—in the safe house and literally sitting right in front of him. He kicked himself for not being more careful regarding the food. Honestly, poisoning hadn’t even been on his radar.

What bothered him even more was how the killer had gained access to her food in the first place. There were too many unanswered questions. Lily’s eyes opened and locked on his.

He walked over and grabbed on to her hand. “You’re going to be okay, Lily.”

“What happened?” she asked in a raspy voice.

“You were right about your pizza tasting strange. You were poisoned.”

She sucked in a breath. “Yes, I’m remembering now. I’m so thankful that I didn’t eat more than I did.”

“Me, too. You had me worried there for a second when you blacked out. They’re giving you fluids because you did get sick once they transferred you here. But that’s actually good because it was better than keeping the poison in your system.”

She nodded. “What are we going to do now?”

“There’s a lot of stuff happening behind the scenes. Eliza said she didn’t want to reveal anything over the phone, but that she’d be coming by here to check on you and to talk to us about next steps.”

“Is Grace all right?”

“Yes, she’s at the safe house, under the care of an agent I know personally.”

“Was my pizza the only one that was poisoned?”

“Yes. This attack was specifically targeted at you. The killer knew which pizza was yours.”

“And how did the killer track me down?”

“Believe me, I have the same questions. We have people looking into all of this right now, trying to figure out which methods he used to find you.”

Eliza rushed through the door looking as if she hadn’t slept. Her hair was falling out of its bun and her glasses did nothing to cover up the dark circles under eyes. “I have news,” Eliza said. “But first, Lily, thank God you’re okay.” The agent walked over and gave her hand a strong squeeze.

“What is the news?” Rex asked, cutting right to it.

“I just spoke with the prosecutor on the case, Steffie Hood. She’s about to press charges against Officer Sean Bishop. He’s being brought in as we speak.”

“What?” Lily and Rex said in unison.

“You think that Sean Bishop is the killer?” Rex asked. “That seems highly unlikely.”

“I thought so at first, too, but there’s mounting evidence against him. It’s definitely enough for him to be charged at this point.”

“What evidence?” Rex asked. “First of all, how did Sean attack Lily and then drive me to the scene minutes later?” They were way off base here.
