MARK STOOD AT THE FRONT WINDOW AND WATCHED THE DETECTIVES leave. He doubted that they’d stand outside the door and eavesdrop, but it never hurt to be certain. Once he was sure they’d gone, he turned back to Shannon and pulled her close. “How are you doing? Sounds like this is escalating.”

He felt her arms tighten around him for a moment. Then she pulled back and looked up at him, and he saw determination in her eyes. “I’ll be okay.”

“Then I think we should do a little investigating of our own,” Mark said.

“What are you talking about? You want to try crashing a murder scene?” Shannon said. “I’m not sure how that would help. Besides, I watch enough TV shows to know we’ll never get past that yellow crime scene tape they put up.”

“That’s not it at all.” Mark turned to Megan. “If you’ve tried geocaching, do you have one of those apps on your smartphone that shows the location of coordinates?”

Megan gave a tentative nod.

Mark held out his hand to Shannon. “Let me see that card.” He showed it to Megan. “So, where do these coordinates point us?”

“I don’t—”

“Megan, we really need your help. Please. For once in your life, do something for somebody else,” Mark said.

Megan sighed. She punched in some numbers on the phone, studied the display, then said, “Near downtown Dallas. Greenwood Cemetery.”

Mark looked at Shannon. “I say we go there. The detectives can only be in one place at a time, and I’m guessing they’ll be tied up at that murder scene for an hour or longer—plenty of time for us to do our own reconnaissance.”

Shannon stared at him as though he’d gone mad. “Why would we do that? Why not let the police do their job? And what if we run into Crosley there?”

“Remember, the coordinates you gave him were wrong. I’m not sure where they lead, but for all we know they’re in the middle of the Indian Ocean. So he’s not going to be where we’re going.”

Both women looked unconvinced.

“Let’s head there while we can,” Mark said. He pulled his keys from his pocket. “I’ll drive.”

Shannon sighed. “Okay, I’ll go along with you.” She turned to her sister. “Megan, you sit in front and direct Mark. I’ll be in the back, regretting our decision.”
