Landon pulled an evidence bag from the kit in his trunk and slid the pick in. “I’ll run it for prints as soon as I get back to the station.”

Cole leaned against the patrol car, adrenaline surging through his body. “Is that what I think it is?”

“If you’re thinking it’s a lock pick, then you’re right.”

Piper rubbed her arms, looking up and down the dark street.

Fear gnawed at Cole’s gut. “I was afraid of that. So someone did try to break in. If I hadn’t been on the phone with her at the time, who knows what could have happened.”

“Can’t be positive.”

“How else can you explain the pick?” Piper asked.

“Like Bailey said, we don’t know how long it’s been there. Maybe Miss Agnes used it to open old jewelry boxes that were missing their key or something. We can’t jump to conclusions.”

Cole raked a hand through his hair. “I don’t like it.”

“Neither do I, but there’s nothing else we can do at this point. She didn’t actually see anyone enter and as far as she can tell nothing’s missing. Other than this pick—which may or may not have had any other uses—there’s no sign of a break-in.”

“I heard the cat screech. He saw something or someone.”

“Probably made whoever was using this drop it.” Landon sealed the evidence bag. “Hopefully, we’ll be lucky and get some prints.”

“And if there are none?” Working emergency services, Cole had been privy to enough crime scenes to know that prints were a luxury.

“We’ll cross that bridge when we come to it. I’ll let you get back to Bailey, and I’ll get this pick into evidence.”

“Wait, what did you want to talk to us about?”

Landon glanced at Bailey through the window. “It can wait till morning.”

“You sure?”

“Absolutely. She needs your undivided attention right now.” Landon helped Piper into his car and then moved around to the driver’s side. “Make sure Bailey locks up tight, and I’ll drive back by after I take Piper home.”

Cole tapped the roof. “Thanks, man.”

“Anytime.”
