Logan Raintree was still setting up the command center for the team in the designated room at the police station—and having his own briefing with Knox. When Sean called him, he discovered that the briefing was nearly finished, and that he and the others would still join them at one.

It was just noon, but Sean wanted to get to the studio as quickly as possible. He was convinced that if they could figure out how someone besides Alistair might have gotten in—how the robe had been stolen—they could get on with the rest of the puzzle.

And if they failed, at the very least they’d create reasonable doubt that Alistair was the killer.

But they couldn’t fail. Because even with reasonable doubt, the press had branded him a killer, and he’d never live a normal life.

As much as Sean needed Madison, he was afraid that after the previous night, it was no longer wise to involve her. Except that she was already involved and therefore targeted.

The other problem was that he was afraid to leave her anywhere on her own.

But nothing had really happened, he told himself. Bogie might well have been mistaken. He was very protective of his earthly charge.

But in his heart, he didn’t believe that Bogie was wrong about the danger to Madison. The killer was devious, with a definite agenda, and wasn’t going to let anyone stand in his or her way. Madison wasn’t in law enforcement; she’d probably never even handled a gun.

As they drove away from the morgue, he decided he had to try to protect her. “Madison, I know this won’t be easy for you, but I’m going to take you to the police station. We’ll have you hang around in the team’s ops center while we’re at the studio and try to get the word out that you have nothing to do with the investigation anymore.” He glanced at her in the rearview mirror. She was seated in back, between the ghostly Bogie and Jenny Henderson.

“Don’t be ridiculous,” she said.

“I’m concerned about your safety.”

“So am I,” Madison said. “But making me stay at the police station while you’re at the studio is just…worthless. Last night, I felt pretty good—surrounded by six FBI agents. I’m still with FBI agents, so I’m still protected. And thinking you can get the word out that I’m not involved…please! Even I know that would be a useless effort.”

“She’s right, Sean,” Kat said. “And she can help us at the studio. I honestly don’t think anyone will try anything with all of us around.” She turned and smiled back at Madison. “You don’t mind hanging with us, do you? You slept okay last night?”

“Yes, I was fine, but I feel guilty, making someone give up a room.”

“You didn’t, not really,” Kat said.

“Yes, I did,” Madison said, smiling ruefully.

“My cousin and Logan have been a twosome since we began as a team,” Sean explained.

“Kelsey and Logan,” Kat put in.

“Kelsey is your cousin?”

“Yes,” Sean said simply.

“Do family members usually work together?” she asked.
