Zack couldn’t seem to pry Merry’s story out of his mind. Of course after Suzanne and Amelia had died, the pastor of the church had tried to tell him that they were up in heaven, but he hadn’t been able to believe it. Hadn’t been able to believe in a God who would take two innocent lives away from him.

But now, for some reason he wanted to believe Amelia and Suz were really were up there. In a place that was bright and warm. Where they would forever be safe from harm. Close to God.

Merry started cleaning up the dishes, carrying things into the house a little at a time. He stood to help her, but then his phone rang. He eagerly picked up the call. “Hey Cole, do you have more information?”

“Yeah, I’ve been running the Calvin Reynolds name and guess what? There is a guy by that name living in the Twin Cities and he’s done some jail time too, at the same facility as that Caruthers dude.”

“I knew it!” Zack jumped to his feet, too excited to sit still. “This has to be the same guy. He’s using his friend’s identity to cover his tracks.”

“It’s a strong theory, that’s for sure,” Cole agreed. “And a bit concerning. What in the world is he planning?”

Good question. “I don’t know but he’s not going to get to her. Now that I’m onto him, I’ll find a way to bring him down.”

“Hey, I believe you. How’s pretty Merry holding up?”

Zack ground his molars together for a brief moment, fighting the surge of temper. “She’s fine. A little on edge, which is completely understandable, but otherwise fine.”

“So, still not willing to introduce us, huh?”

Zack ignored the taunt, knowing that Cole was only trying to get under his skin. “No point. She’s too good for the likes of you.”

“Hey, that means she’s too good for you, too.”

Zack rolled his eyes. “Back to Reynolds, any chance you can send someone to pick him up? Maybe ask him a few questions?”

“On what grounds?”

“Identity theft. Tell him that you discovered someone’s been charging up his credit card and that you’re worried about his credit rating.”

“I doubt Reynolds cares one bit about his credit rating, but I might be able to use the identity theft angle.” Cole sighed. “You’re going to owe me big time for all these favors, you know. Although, considering you haven’t asked for anything in over two years, I’m still reeling from shock.”

Zack had done plenty of favors for Cole, but he knew that doing a side investigation like this was a much bigger deal than covering a few shifts. “I know, and I really appreciate it.”

“All right, I’ll let you know what happens.”

“Thanks.” Zack disconnected from the call and stuffed the phone in his back pocket. He gathered up what was left of the dishes and carried them inside.

He was in the process of setting the stack on the counter just moments before Merry turned around and plowed into him. She was knocked off balance and he lightly grasped her shoulders to steady her.
