Samantha watched as the officers outside the building took off in a run. Her breath caught. What was going on?

At once she saw Aaron.

He was running. Why would he do that?

Unless he was guilty.

Her heart pounded furiously. She didn’t want to believe he could be behind this. He’d always been nothing but kind to her.

Elise’s words came back to her. He’s always had a crush on you.

That couldn’t be true. The two of them had always just been friends.

The man didn’t have a chance to escape, not with so many officers. Two of them easily tackled him. A moment later, Quinn and Frost appeared and handcuffed him.

Aaron was placed in a police cruiser before Quinn climbed back in the car with her.

“Is he the Grim Wrecker?” Her voice cracking with every other word.

“It’s his grandfather’s old cabin. He claims he hasn’t been there in years. Can you think of any connection he may have had to any of the victims?”

“We went to high school with one. It’s a small town. I’m sure he knew the others. Maybe he responded to emergency calls at their houses?”

“It’s a theory worth looking into.”

Back at the sheriff’s office, Samantha was quarantined in the lounge area. Until Quinn knew for sure that Aaron was behind this, she had to stay. Or, at least, they strongly recommended for her own safety and well-being that she not go anywhere else.

While sitting on a leather couch, an icy knot in her stomach, Samantha kept replaying the events from yesterday. Some detail begged for her attention. Something that didn’t make sense.

If Aaron had been the one who called her yesterday while at Mandy’s car, Samantha would have heard more than silence in the background. Officers were talking all around her during that call. Another police cruiser had pulled up, lights and sirens blazing.

It had been too quiet on the other end of that phone line.

Her gut told her that Aaron wasn’t the person who’d done this.

Yet he’d owned that cabin.

Was that a coincidence? Or had he been set up?

The waiting was killing her.

Someone brought her a sandwich. She forced herself to eat. The ham and cheese had been tasteless to her.

Her attention was drawn to a flurry of activity in the conference room, and her spine tightened.

Something had happened. Something new.

She walked to the door, watching carefully. Holding her breath with anticipation.

Quinn’s eyes met hers through the glass, and she saw the grief there. She knew something was wrong.

He walked toward the door and slipped into the hallway.

“What’s going on?” she asked.

“Someone found Mandy,” he said.

She froze. “And?”

“She’s dead.”
