An hour later, Meg slid under the covers, a mug of hot chocolate on her bedside table and her laptop open and ready on the bed. After adjusting the pillows, she leaned back and shifted the computer to her lap.

She ignored the file she started earlier in the day and opened a new one. Meg had tried to ride the balancing line between Rod and Ethan’s request and her freedom of the press. Tonight’s incident with the car had pushed her over the line. Enough was enough. What if Maddie had taken the Jeep and driven it? She might have been killed. It was one thing to try to kill her. Now Sherri’s murderer had stepped into no-win territory. She wouldn’t let her family be caught in the crossfire.

Her bedside phone rang. The voice on the other end of the line brought a smile to her face. “How are you?”

Rod chuckled. “I’m supposed to ask you that question.”

“You’re the one working out in the cold.”

“Not anymore. I’m at the station. We towed both cars to our garage. Nick’s processing his Jeep. Maybe we’ll get lucky and find a print, but I doubt it. Our perp hasn’t made that kind of mistake yet.”

Not yet, but after her editorial came out, he might slip up. “No repercussions from Ethan?” Silence greeted her inquiry. “Okay, what happened?”

“Let’s just say I sympathize with Henderson’s hide stripping now.”

Meg blew out a breath. “Ethan or Nick?”

“Both. I deserved that and a lot more for putting your life at risk. There was a puddle of brake fluid in the slot where you parked the Jeep. I would have seen it if I had checked the vehicle.”

“I disagree with that assessment, Kelter. I’m not exactly easy to corral. You can’t take the sole blame for this fiasco. So, what happens now?”

“You don’t go anywhere alone from now on.”

“Yeah, I figured that. Not much of a problem since I don’t have wheels right now. What about you?”

“More of the same. I have leads to follow up, more interviews.”

“You interested in taking me to Knoxville?”

“Sure. Any particular reason?”

“Car shopping.” She grinned at the answering groan.

After Rod hung up, Meg resumed typing. All the men in her family were going to be furious with her after this. Especially one red-haired detective who was growing on her.
