Chapter 6

Liam and Gavin spent the afternoon digging. Part of their focus was on finding out more about their mate's history, and part on looking into her parents' deaths. They found out next to nothing about their mate's state of mind, but the accident that claimed her parents was another matter.

Liam read over the report about their parents death again. It indicated the investigators had suspected foul play. The house was equipped with carbon monoxide detectors, yet none of them went off. All three were found to be either unplugged, their batteries out, or damaged so they wouldn't work.

The problem itself was with the furnace, which had supposedly leaked carbon monoxide into the house. Except the furnace was only a couple of years old, and had had regular check-ups. No indication of any problems beforehand.

At the same time, the investigators hadn't found any obvious signs of tampering. They'd even dusted the detectors that were unplugged and the furnace itself, but didn't find any prints other than those of two of the parents and the furnace guy. The furnace appeared to have a leak but it didn't look like it had been created by a tool.

It appeared to be a tragic set of coincidences.

Liam didn't like it. He could tell Gavin didn't, either. But why would someone have wanted to kill Bridget's parents?

"We'll have to dig deeper," Gavin said. "Find out who would have had access to the house, and who might have had motive to kill any of the three of them. The other two might have been collateral damage."

Liam's stomach knotted. He couldn't imagine killing one person in cold blood, but to kill two more just because they were in the wrong place at the wrong time? Barbaric.

Challenges, fine. Warfare, fine. People went into those expecting to be hurt, and they had a chance to fight back. But to kill three people while they slept…it wasn't just barbaric. It was cowardly. "How do we find all of that out? We can ask Bridget about who came over to the house, but what about motive?"

"We'll talk to Deirdre, too, since she's older. She might know something about motive. Or have seen enough to give us a clue where to look." Gavin started to pull his documents together and pack up.

"I don't know. My parents always hid the bad stuff from us. If one of my parents had been mixed up in something, I never would have known." Liam put the papers from the thin report onto the top of Gavin's pile.

"But you might have known there was something off. You might have seen some tension among your parents, or a strange person stopping by late at night, or something like that. When you're in trouble, it's hard to hide it completely."

Gavin had a point. But Liam wasn't so sure the sisters would remember something like that five years later.

"Now let's go to dinner," Gavin said.

Liam grinned. He couldn't wait to torture his mate again. And steal as many kisses as he could before they had to leave.
