Chapter 9

LIAM WAS SO MAD he had to fold his arms to contain the urge to do something he shouldn’t. “When I tell you to give me the phone, you give me the phone.”

Caisey stepped between them. They’d made it back to Andrea’s apartment, but only because it was closest to where they’d been when the call came in. “Let her be.”

Liam didn’t need to be told she was having a rough time. It was plain on Andrea’s face that she was about to bolt somewhere she could lose it in private. “What were you thinking?”

Andrea’s face was completely red. “I was thinking he killed my sister! If I want the chance to talk to him, that’s up to me.”

“Liam—”

“No, Case.” He pinned his partner down with a stare he knew was hard because he saw her flinch. “She doesn’t get it. You don’t understand a guy like that.”

Andrea said, “He’s angry he got Keira and not me.”

“And now he’s going to come after you again, try and finish what he started.”

“Good!”

Liam snapped. “No. It’s not good. How can you say that?”

“You don’t want to arrest him? Now that Kiera’s gone are you going to leave me here, a sitting duck, waiting for him to come back and abduct me this time?”

“Of course not.”

“Then what’s the problem? You think I don’t want the chance to look my sister’s killer in the eye, even though it scares the ever loving crap out of me? I want to kill him right back for what he did to her.”

“You think I’m going to let him get within ten feet of you?” Liam jerked his head, side- to-side. “There’s no way.”

Caisey turned so her back was to him. “He’s right, Andrea. There’s no way that’s going to happen.”

Andrea looked around Caisey, at him. “Neither of you can control the future. You can only put up safeguards. If he tries to take me again, you might not be able to stop it.”

“You want to die?” Liam pushed Caisey aside and moved in close. “You want to go through what Kiera went through?” He swallowed the sick feeling.

Maybe his boss would let him put her on a plane to Australia. But that wasn’t likely, not if they wanted to catch the Chloroform Killer. If he lost Andrea it would be so much worse than some nameless, faceless victim he didn’t know.

“I’m not just going to sit here.”

“You will if I tell you to. I’m in charge, and don’t forget that. I’m the thing that’s standing between you and an insane serial murderer who wants to kill you.”

The noise that burst from Andrea’s throat was a mix of grief and frustration. She spun around and strode from the room. A second later her bedroom door slammed.

“Good going, champ.”

Liam’s head whipped around to his partner.

Caisey’s eyes widened and she lifted her hands. “My bad. Yell all you want. But maybe this will penetrate, and I pray it does.” She pointed at the door Andrea had slammed. “That girl has nothing but her grief and helplessness.
