Lucy sat back in her chair in the conference room, ninety percent certain her head was going to explode. In her defense, she’d used it for more critical thinking in the past six hours than she had in the last six days combined—which was really saying something, considering all the review she’d done at the academy. But when Nat had told her and Sam that the evidence they’d uncovered pointed to arson, then asked them to help find the person who’d purposely set the fire that could have killed them both? Lucy hadn’t even thought about hesitating.

And when Sam had promised not to freelance, to follow the rules and do what it took to catch this arsonist, she’d believed him.

Which was great, because now they were partners.

Not so great, though, that she could still feel his mouth on hers.

Really not great that despite all common sense, she wanted it there again. And again.

And lower.

“Okay!” Lucy blurted, her voice just a shade too high for the quiet room where they’d been sitting all day. She cleared her throat and forced herself back to reality. She’d been asked to help catch an arsonist, for God’s sake. She couldn’t afford to lose focus now, no matter how sexy Sam’s determination was. “I think that’s the last of the lab reports. Unfortunately.”

Sam frowned from the spot where he sat beside her at the table, then looked at the whiteboard where she’d meticulously detailed everything they’d gleaned from the stacks of files Nat had left for them. Their strategy had been to get up to speed on the facts first, giving them a solid foundation that would lead to reasonable speculation. But after six hours of poring over first the video, then dozens of documents and reports from the fire marshal, insurance companies, and the RFD lab, they were no closer to figuring out who might have set this fire, or why.

“So, the backpack we found at the scene obviously belonged to whoever set this fire, and it’s a safe bet he’s the person you saw through the window,” Lucy started. She was rehashing what they already knew, but ugh, she was getting desperate for something, anything, that would get them closer to finding this guy. “The brand traces back to a popular sporting goods store. There are three of them in the Remington area, but the chain supplies the same backpack in the same color to hundreds of stores nationwide, not to mention selling loads of them online. Best guess is that our arsonist was startled when you saw him and accidentally dropped it when he bolted.”

Sam played Devil’s Advocate. “Either that, or he left it behind specifically so it would be destroyed by the fire and erase any evidence that he’d been there.”

“Only the ceiling collapsed on top of it first,” Lucy said. It should have been a win for them, and yet… “Even though it was well-preserved by the rubble, after analysis, the lab couldn’t find any useable prints or traces of DNA.
