Chapter 10

I called Sam first to let him know that Quinn had arrived and wanted to get together to discuss the case of the missing girls as well as the recent drowning case. It occurred to me that as sheriff, he might balk about talking to a reporter, but when he enthusiastically agreed, I realized that the crush Sam had always had on Quinn was alive and well. I suggested meeting in a bar in town, but Sam felt a public venue was not the best place to discuss an open investigation, so I suggested we meet here at the house. Then I called Ryder, who informed me that his doggy patient was doing much better, and he was on his way home. When I told him that Quinn was here and that we’d planned to get together with Sam, Ryder suggested we all meet at the boathouse. I called Sam back with the change of plans. Ryder was going to pick up steaks to grill. I told him I would bring something to go with the steaks, and Sam offered to bring the wine as well as a twelve-pack of beer.

After settling on a time to meet, I headed to the kitchen to look for ideas about what to bring. Neither Quinn nor I were great cooks, but I did find cucumbers, tomatoes, and onions with which to make a salad, as well as ears of corn and a bag of fresh asparagus. I’d go to the store in the morning to replace everything in case Carrie had plans for it.

“I’m going to run up and take a shower,” Quinn informed me. “I’ve been traveling for more days than I can count and am certain I need one.”

“You’re in the first room at the top of the stairs,” I said. “The room we used as a guest room when my family owned this house.”

“Okay, great. After I shower, I’ll probably take a minute to unpack. If I’m not down in an hour, come and get me. I slept on the plane, but I feel like I could fall asleep again if I don’t keep moving.”

“We can always wait and get together with the guys tomorrow.”

“No. I want to hear about Sammy’s case, and I want to get a look at you and Ryder together. Kelly and Ryder. Who would have thunk?”

Certainly not me. Hooking up with Ryder West was the last thing on my mind when I’d agreed to the get-together Carrie proposed. Still, I did have to admit that hooking up with Ryder was not something I regretted. In fact, I had to admit, it was something I very much looked forward to doing again.
