“You should try to eat something,” Reese told her.

“I don’t really feel like eating anything right now. I’m sure you can understand why.” All she wanted to do was go home. Reese had waited with her for the police officer from the lab to come over to check her car for fingerprints. Once they had arrived, Reese had taken her into the coffee shop so that they could talk.

He reached a hand out across the table his hand almost touching hers. “I know you may not want to eat but you need to. You’ve just had a big shock and getting some food in you will help.”

Bri shook her head. “I don’t really…”

“Hey folks, good to see you again. What can I get you?” Judi asked, walking up to the table.

Reese looked at Bri and she shook her head again.

“We’ll take two BLT plates, extra fries, onion rings, and two large Cokes.”

Bri’s mouth dropped open. She wanted to yell at him for ordering for her, and then it occurred to her that he may have ordered all of that food for himself. He had mentioned that he hadn’t eaten all day. She paused, wondering which was worse.

“I’m sorry, I don’t normally do that. If you don’t want the sandwich once it gets here that’s fine, but at least you have the option if you start feeling better.”

“Thank you,” she said, feeling a little sheepish. She knew that he was only trying to help. It appeared that she was in need of some assistance, but she had no idea where to start or if anything could really be done.

“First of all, are you feeling all right?” Reese asked quietly.

She gave him a weak smile. “I’ve been better.”

“I would think so.” He looked out the window across the square at the police cars lining the curb near the parking lot. “You have no idea what time it could have happened?”

“I really don’t. I got to work at about a quarter to eight this morning. I didn’t go out to pick up lunch or to the post office, so it really could have happened any time after I arrived this morning.”

“Any idea who would want to do that?”

Bri looked out the window not wanting to meet his eyes. “I really don’t.” She knew that she should mention Curtis, but she just didn’t want to stir all of that up again. Nothing had helped before; she couldn’t see that anything had changed.

“I was on the Chicago Police Department for several years before coming to Sampson’s Quarry. I saw some crazy stuff, but the only time I ever saw all four tires slashed on a person’s car was in downtown Chicago. A woman had discovered her husband cheating and she had taken a diving knife to the tires on his Porsche.

“Yikes,” Bri said. “Not that I could really blame her.”

“Yeah, me neither. Her name was still on the title for the car so I didn’t even ticket her. It helped with the divorce case though. His soon to be ex-wife had the proof she needed.
