You’ve lost your mind, Daisy told herself.

Had he almost kissed her?

Had she almost kissed him?

And damn it, she was really disappointed when that kiss hadn’t happened.

Murder investigation, hell-O! she shouted at herself. She really needed to sit herself down and have a talk, explain the basic rules of common sense. The weird guy passing through town wasn’t the best guy to have a fling with—well, some people might argue he was the perfect guy for a fling. But Daisy didn’t do flings. And if she did…well she just didn’t. She was also a little busy trying to catch a serial killer before he killed one more woman. Definitely not the ideal time for any kind of romantic interlude.

A couple hours of good, hard, mind-blowing sex might just clear your head and let you think better. Okay, that was her libido talking.

She needed some sleep, that was what she needed. Well, sleep or a self-induced orgasm. Any of that might help a little. But instead of going home and telling tall, dark and strange here to get lost and come back when it was light out, they were out driving.

Stuck in a car with a man who did the weirdest things to her system. He made her skin buzz and at the same time, there was something about him that really, really freaked her out. He didn’t talk, either. He just sat there, his hands resting on his thighs as he stared outside.

What in the hell he was looking at, she didn’t know. Where they were going? She didn’t know that either. At least earlier there was a destination. He’d been talking to Tanya in the field. She knew he had been. Now though, she wasn’t so sure what his game plan was. Driving down 402 when it wasn’t even three in the morning wasn’t how she had planned to spend her night.

“I should have made some coffee,” she muttered. She pressed her fingers against her eyes and rubbed, but it didn’t make it any easier to hold her eyes open.

“He picked her up here.”

Daisy hit the brakes. “What?” she demanded. Turning on the overhead light, she looked at him, feeling a cold chill dance up her spine. His eyes were glowing again.

“He picked her up here,” he said quietly, staring off into the darkness. “She was hitchhiking. Wanted to go to Indianapolis—she’d never been. There was a play she wanted to see. Mom was afraid she’d get sick.”

Daisy had absolutely no idea what to say. Swallowing, she shifted her gaze forward and realized she was still in the middle of the road. Easing the car to the shoulder, she shifted to park and turned the overhead light off. “Who is she? I can’t do anything until I know she is.”

He didn’t hear a word she said. “She was walking—it was late, almost dark. She’d thought she’d get to town before it got dark. He pulled up and he just looked so safe…so normal.”

Her palms were sweating. That icy cold sweat. Fear and rage clamored for equal footing inside her.
