CHAPTER 30

I know how this looks.” Cade sat in his office with Yeager and Smith, aware that he’d just been promoted from person of interest to prime suspect. “Whoever did this is trying to set me up. You’ve got to see that.”

“The sandal isn’t all we found in your truck bed, Cade.”

Cade gaped at Yeager. “What do you mean, that’s not all?”

“There was blood.”

Cade sprang out of his seat. “What? No, there wasn’t blood. There couldn’t be. I didn’t see it.”

“It was there. The Luminol showed it.”

Luminol was the chemical reagent used to detect bloodstains, even after attempts to wash them away. If it had shown blood …

Closing his eyes, he brought the heels of his hands to his forehead and leaned back hard in his chair. “It’s part of a pattern. I found the body. I have the other shoe. There’s blood in my truck bed …”

He dropped his hands and looked hard at the detective. “Do you even know that it’s her blood … or human blood for that matter? It could be from fish, for Pete’s sake.”

The two agents exchanged looks. “We’re waiting for the lab report.”

Cade knew he was in trouble. “Look, just take my truck. Anything you need … search it, run tests. I had nothing to do with this. Anyone could have dropped that sandal in my truck. It’s been parked there all day. Gibson may have done it himself. Maybe there are fingerprints.”

“We’re dusting, Cade.”

“Good. Give me a polygraph. I want to take a polygraph.”

“We’ll have to take you to our offices. You can take the test there.”

He closed his eyes, nodded. Of course they were taking him in for questioning. What else could he expect? “All right. Let’s go. I’m ready to clear my name and get to the bottom of this.”
