Chapter 23

With one phone call, my family descended upon my cottage like the wrath of the Irish and Italian mobs. My sisters arrived first, followed by my parents. The Silverville sheriff came with a tech and took the envelope, promising to get the envelope processed as soon as possible. It didn’t matter. Although both Aiden and I had touched the envelope, Davey had never left a fingerprint, and I was sure he hadn’t started now.

There was no way to trace the cards to him. Not legally, anyway.

Aiden had taken off the second Tessa had arrived, still oddly quiet about the entire situation. It probably did seem weird.

My family and I ate a bunch of food, and we talked about everything except Jareth Davey. While my uncles had tried to find the guy through the years, no doubt Nick had contacts they didn’t. He’d made the offer, and it was time he came through. I wasn’t sure what I’d do with the information, but I needed it.

My parents went home around ten, having to drive fifty miles across the mountain pass, and my sisters stayed the night. We watched old movies and ate too much popcorn, and I only got a couple hours of sleep before I had to go to work.

Thursday was a light day for me with no court, so I dressed in nice jeans and a blue blazer, not really caring what anybody thought. After a cursory check in my office, I left and headed down to the war-room, where I found Nick drawing connecting lines between Aiden Devlin, the Lordes, Melvin Whitaker, and Scot Peterson. Pictures of Randy Taylor and Cheryl Smythers remained to the side.

He finished drawing his last line as I walked in. “I talked to my brother in Silverville and heard about the anniversary card sent to your house.” He looked over his shoulder, his eyes clear and bright. Definitely more awake than I was. “I’ve already reached out to contacts in the military and will have a location for you as soon as possible.”

I opened my mouth, but no sound came out until I cleared my throat. “Thank you.”

Nick turned to face me, also wearing jeans and a blazer. Apparently he didn’t have court today, either. “I think you can create a harassment case based on the years involved, but proving Davey has been sending cards is going to be difficult since he hasn’t left prints.”

“I know,” I whispered. “I’ll figure that out once we find him.”

Nick nodded. His phone dinged from the table, and he read a text. “The autopsy is finished on Cheryl Smythers. Do you want to come with me to talk to the coroner?”

I swallowed. “Yes.” No. Definitely no. I’d never been to the morgue, and I was more than happy with that, but it was time to put on my big girl pants and go to work. “You’re driving.” I still wasn’t all that steady after receiving the letter at my home the night before.

We’d already reached his vehicle and driven through town toward the hospital area when he hit me with his next bomb.
