CHAPTER TWELVE
Alyssa walked out of the family room and Cole forced himself to remain seated at the dining room table and not follow her. After heâd cleared the house, heâd grilled Derrick about why he hadnât heard Saunders break into their home. Cole wanted to blame Derrick, but it wasnât his fault. He was simply getting the rest heâd need to do his job tonight.
Coleâs phone rang, and he spotted Katâs name on caller ID. âI could really use some good news, Kit Kat.â
âThen youâll be glad I called. The suitcase is sold exclusively at SuperMart. And before you ask, Iâve already checked and there are two SuperMarts in Astoria.â
âHold on while I get the map from Chief.â Cole pressed the speaker button and set down his phone then dug through his case folder. He folded the map to display the red ring Chief had circled. âOkay, go ahead, Kat.â
She gave him the first address.
He scanned the circle. âI donât see the store in our target area.â
âHereâs the other address.â
He ran his finger over the map. âBingo. Itâs on the fringe. Now all I need to do is get SuperMartâs security team to talk to me.â
âAlready done,â she said, pride ringing through her words.
âHow?â
âMitch has a cousin in management at SuperMart. Heâs already talked to her. When you get to the store tell the head of security to call Patti Fisk, and sheâll approve whatever you need.â
âYouâre the best, Kit Kat. The very best.â
âDonât you know it.â He heard her laughing as he disconnected.
Excited about the lead, Cole went in search of Alyssa. He found her in the kidsâ bedroom making one of the beds. The sight of her engaged in such a simple task warmed his heart. He was certain she had been and would be a great wife. One Todd Wells hadnât deserved.
He stayed in the doorway watching, enjoying the way sheâd found peace after her initial fear from the bullet. Sheâd done exactly what sheâd said in the car. By the time Cole had come back from clearing the house, heâd found her head bowed, offering her problem to God. Cole was so impressed with her transformation that heâd stopped and prayed, too. He wasnât sure he would get an answer, but he felt better after offering up his concerns.
She turned and caught his eyes on her, her cheeks coloring and a shy look stealing over her face. âHow long have you been standing there?â
âNot long.â He shouldnât keep watching her, but she radiated a vitality that drew him like a magnet and he was powerless to look away.
The blush consumed her face and she blew out a breath, her hair lifting with the force of air. âSo did you have something you wanted or do you just like watching me make beds?â
âBoth,â he answered without thinking.
A quick flash of interest lit her eyes before she veiled it. âWhat did you want?â
He took a breath himself and waited for the charged atmosphere to calm. âWe have a lead.
