Chapter Twelve

Brady had insisted that Sasha pack her suitcase and leave the condo. It hadn’t taken much to convince her that she’d be safer somewhere else. That video of the guy in black creeping up the wall like a spider was all the motivation she needed.

The best plan, in his eyes, would be for her to come home with him. Not the most appropriate situation, but the most secure. As they drove to the hotel to look at the security tapes, he mentioned that possibility.

“Maybe you should spend the night with me...at my cabin.” A warm flush crawled up his throat, and he was glad that the afternoon sunlight had faded to dusk. He didn’t want her to see him turning red. “I have an extra bedroom.”

“Wouldn’t that be a problem for you? Since I’m involved in the investigation.”

“It’s not like you’re a suspect. I wouldn’t be harboring a fugitive.” People would talk, but he didn’t mind the wagging tongues and finger-pointing. Maybe she did. “Your boss might not approve.”

“He’s not happy with me.” She exhaled a long sigh. “I’ll be lucky to get out of this investigation without being fired.”

“You haven’t done anything wrong.”

“Actually, it was a big mistake for me to pick up a pair of binoculars and look through somebody’s window.”

“If you hadn’t witnessed the murder, we wouldn’t have learned about it for a long time. The killer cleaned up after himself too well.”

“You would have found out today,” she said. “The cross-country skiers would still have discovered the body.”

“Maybe or maybe not,” he said. “Because we were poking around last night, the killer might have been in a hurry to dispose of the body. He might have chosen the most expedient dumping site rather than the best place to hide that steamer trunk.”

For a moment, Brady put himself in the killer’s shoes. At first the murder had gone according to his plan. He’d stabbed the victim and dumped her into the trunk without spilling a single drop of blood on the floor. After he’d cleaned up the room, throwing everything into the trunk, he’d wheeled the steamer trunk into the hall and down to the parking garage. If anyone had seen him, it wasn’t a problem. Nobody would question a man with a suitcase in a hotel.

The killer must have been pleased with himself, thinking he’d gotten away with a nearly perfect crime. And then, less than an hour after the attack, an eyewitness appeared and a deputy started asking questions. The killer’s careful planning had failed. He must have been reeling from shock.

“If we ever catch this guy,” Brady said, “it will be because you happened to be looking in the right place at the wrong time.”

She reached across the console and touched his arm. “That makes me feel better.”

Her touch reminded him of the other reason he wanted her to stay at his cabin tonight. He needed another kiss. To be honest, he craved more than kissing. He wanted Sasha in his bed. Every moment he spent with her heightened that longing.
