TEN

The house looked exactly as McKenna had left it. Almost, anyway. There was crime scene tape everywhere. She knew it had been neatly put up yesterday, but today after hours of exposure to the harsh arctic winds, parts of it were tattered and hanging down, like something from a horror movie.

Okay, so the house looked nothing like she’d left it.

She let Mollie out of the car, keeping her on a leash to make sure she didn’t escape. Will had dropped her off at his boss’s house on their way out of town yesterday, assuring McKenna that his neighbor would be happy to watch her and would take good care of her. Checkers had flown to Anchorage with them yesterday and was staying with Anna’s parents for the time being. Mollie seemed to miss her friend, but McKenna was glad she had only one animal to worry about right now.

She reached down to pet Mollie between the ears, noting how soft her fur was, as she tried to summon up the courage to go inside the house. Will had been right about his neighbor taking good care of her. She smelled like she’d had a bath.

“I guess it’s not going to get easier,” McKenna finally whispered to Mollie.

“Are we going in?”

Will’s voice behind her started her. Again. She had to start doing a better job of paying attention to her surroundings. It was something they’d tried to drill into her mind at the trooper academy, and usually it stuck. But when she was stressed—ironic, since that was when she needed to be most alert—she tended to slip up.

“Might as well,” she mumbled, forcing one foot in front of the other up the path to the front door. She slid her key in, deciding as a chill went through her that she was changing the locks. The police had found no evidence of a break-in, and while McKenna had a hard time believing someone Anna knew personally would have shot her, it was either that or believe that someone who wanted them both dead had a key to their house.

She shivered again. Yes, the locks were going to be one of the first things on her to-do list.

“Do you want me to go in first?” Will asked, concern lacing his tone. He’d been right there, every time she needed him, since they’d found Anna. Even though she’d insulted him—she saw that now—by suspecting one of his closest friends.

“I can do it,” she said with more confidence than she felt. “And I’m sorry, Will. About suspecting...” She trailed off, suddenly mindful of how sound would carry in the cold air and knowing that anyone could be listening.

“I know.”

“I don’t suspect him anymore.” Trusting Will should have been reason enough to take him off the list in the first place even before the killer targeted someone Matt would never hurt.

This case had to be solved before anyone else ended up in the hospital—or worse. But now she was starting to doubt her ability to find the culprit.
