Finn led the way up the front stairs of 4564 Shore Lane, the way-too-eager-to-accompany-him Gabby on his heels. Regardless of what he or Noah said to try to get through her thick skull, she was working this case just as much as he was. He could either accept that and partner with her—in a manner of speaking—or he could continue to worry about her investigating on her own. His muscles tensed at the thought of her poking around on her own.

Exhaling, he knocked on the front door and waited for an answer.

Wind blew, rustling the weeping willow in the front lawn, which appeared a tad overgrown.

Gabby rocked back on her heels, her hands in her back jeans pockets. Her brown hair wisped on the wind, fluttering about her shoulders.

He knocked again. “CGIS,” he announced. “Please open the door.”

He turned the handle but found it locked. They wouldn’t have been able to enter without permission anyway. Though he’d called for a warrant, it hadn’t come through yet.

“Let’s check out back.”

Gabby followed him through the waist-high side gate and around to the back stone-and-concrete porch.

They climbed the back steps and moved for what appeared to be the kitchen door. He knocked, and once again, no one answered.

Gabby peered in the window. “Kitchen is empty, and it looks like it’s dark throughout this level.”

The bungalow-style home Emmy had sent them to sat eerily quiet.

“Who are you?” a woman asked.

Finn turned to find a woman in her early sixties, with short gray hair and a quizzical eye, standing on the opposite side of the chain-link fence.

“Who are you, young man?”

Gabby followed as Finn strode over and flashed his badge. “Agent Finn Walker, and this is—”

“I’m Gabby Rowley.”

“What are you doing on Mr. Bowen’s lawn?”

Finn explained the pertinent details.

“Well, you aren’t going to find Mr. Bowen around here.”

Finn frowned at her confidence. “Why not?”

“He died six months ago.”
