Chapter Thirteen

Thursday, June 5, 4 P.M.

Bragg watched Greer drive away, not turning from the window until her truck vanished around the corner. It wasn’t lost on him she’d come to him with this information. She could have gone to the local police and avoided him altogether. But she hadn’t. She’d chosen him.

And yet, he had the sense she was holding back. Was she burdened with misplaced loyalty to an old friend or manipulating him? She knew both Rory and Sara had tried to commit suicide and the reasons behind the attempts. She wouldn’t be the first killer who’d pretended to help police.

He found his way back upstairs to Winchester’s office. On the phone, Winchester nodded for Bragg to enter as he scribbled details on a pad.

Plagued by restlessness, Bragg remained standing and did his best not to pace. His mind returned to his conversation with Greer and began to analyze it as if it had been a crime scene. He hated thinking of her as a killer, not only for Mitch’s sake, but his own.

When Winchester hung up, he rose, stretching the tight muscles of his back. “What do you have?”

Bragg never chatted idly and only stopped by to discuss business. “Just had a visit from Greer Templeton.”

“Really? Why’d she come into town?”

“She read about the woman that froze to death in the paper. She knew the woman. The victim, Rory, and Greer were all in the same camp for troubled teens.”

Winchester set his jaw. “Sara Wentworth’s parents said she never had any emotional problems.”

Awry smile lifted the edge of Bragg’s mouth. “They wouldn’t be the first people to lie to a Ranger.”

Winchester rested his hands on his hips. “They strike me as folks who put a lot of stock in appearance. A troubled daughter wouldn’t have done much for them in their social circles.”

Bragg rubbed the back of his neck with his hand. He thought about his own reluctance to take Mitch to counseling because he’d worried for the boy’s reputation. If Mitch had killed himself, would he have kept the boy’s past hidden out of loyalty? “They’ll have lawyered up by now. It’ll be tough getting any more information out of them.”

“I feel for them, but if they’re lying I don’t mind squeezing.”

“Neither do I. But they’ve been hiding secrets for over a decade. They’re not likely to give ’em up easily.”

“Even to catch their daughter’s killer?”

“Maybe they’re worried that it was suicide. That she killed Rory and then herself.”

“So did Greer have anything more to say?” Winchester asked.

He summoned images of Greer’s face as she’d met his gaze and told her story. Regardless of her motives, she had backbone. Not many men faced him as she’d done today. “Greer said Sara, who called herself Joan at camp, had a crush on Rory at the camp.”

“You believe her?”

He really wanted to believe Greer. And that insight surprised and concerned him. “At this point no reason not to believe her.”

Winchester arched a brow. “Mighty convenient Greer connected two dots for us so neatly.
