"It's called In The Pink by New Faces. Ironic, don't you think, considering Bandeaux's condition?" Diane asked, her eyes gleaming a bit. "It's sold at all your major upscale department stores. The good news is that it's a relatively new shade, only been available for the past two years."

Reed glanced at Morrisette.

''I'm already all over it," she said, then took a big swallow from her glass. "We'll check all the local markets and the Internet."

Diane Moses said, "You already know about the other blood there, and we found some other hairs in the vacuum bag. Hair that we're comparing to Bandeaux and Naomi Crisman along with some kind of animal hair. Looks like dog. We're still checking."

''Bandeaux and his girlfriend didn't have any pets," Reed said, sipping his beer.

''The ex-wife does.'' Morrisette finished her second drink. "Maybe she'd been playing with the pooch and he'd shed on her and before she could grab one of those sticky rollers they have to clean your clothes and upholstery from pet hair, she visited Josh and dropped the hairs on his carpet."

"Or it could be that they had the dog together when they were married and she took the mutt over to visit. The neighbor seems to think she was over there a lot." Reed swiped a napkin over his lips. "Or maybe it's another dog. Either way I think it's time to get a search warrant, see if the missus has any weapons around." He didn't think they'd have trouble getting the warrant. Caitlyn's blood type had been found at the scene, a car like hers had been spotted at Bandeaux's place that night, she was going through a messy divorce with the deceased and things had gone from bad to worse with Bandeaux's threat of an unlawful death lawsuit over the kid's demise. Caitlyn Bandeaux also had a history of mental problems, as both Morrisette and Naomi Crisman had mentioned. Reed wasn't certain the dog hair meant anything, but he couldn't ignore the fact that Caitlyn Bandeaux was smack-dab in the middle of it. He just had to figure out how.

It had been a long week.

But it was nearly over.

Thank God.

Amanda stepped on the throttle of her little convertible and the TR-6 sprang forward, buzzing along the highway, past the marshes where snowy white egrets were visible in the long grass and gators hid in the murky water. The wind tore at her hair, and she felt some of the tension from the office and the mess with Josh Bandeaux ease from her shoulders.

Shifting, she passed a guy in a BMW, left the guy standing still and it gave her a rush. She glanced in the rearview mirror and grinned at herself. Ian would be home tonight and she might just cook. Something with lobster, his favorite. And crusty French bread. And wine.

It would be good to see him, she thought as she spied the sign for her exit. Her marriage was far from perfect. Ian could be as big a jerk as any man, but then she wasn't exactly a piece of cake to live with either.
