Chapter Thirteen

The body hung in the middle of the silks. Her head was tilted forward, and her blond hair slid against her jaw. Bree stared up at the woman as horror snaked through her. Her team filled the scene, and crime scene techs were collecting evidence like bees in a hive.

“Marie Argeneaux,” Remy said as he stood beside Bree. “Someone cut her hair shorter, but that’s Marie. Shit. Shit.” He sounded shaken.

He and Kace had found the victim. As soon as her team had arrived, Grayson had immediately ordered the two men separated. Kace had been escorted to his office, while Remy remained at her side.

“Tell me again,” Bree directed him. “Everything that happened. Leave nothing out.”

His cheeks puffed before he gave a hard exhale. “I got a call from Kace. He asked me to meet him here. When I arrived, he was standing outside of Fantasy.”

She licked her lips. “Can you swear that he hadn’t entered before you arrived?”

Remy raked a hand through his hair.

Grayson walked closer to them, moving so that he’d be able to hear the interrogation.

Remy dropped his hand. “He unlocked the door, turned off the alarm, and…yeah, yeah, that means he hadn’t been inside before I arrived. That’s what it has to mean. And the way he reacted…” His voice trailed away as he looked up at the victim once more. “How long are you going to leave her hanging there? Someone needs to take her down.”

“She can’t be moved until the crime scene is secured. We have to collect evidence.” Grayson’s words were low.

“Kace’s DNA will be all over the place. He grabbed the silks, grabbed her legs, tried to get her down.” A rough sigh escaped Remy. “Even slugged me in the jaw when I tried to stop him.”

She could already see the bruising along his jaw.

“Like a man possessed,” Remy groused. “Never seen him like that. He was out of control.”

Bree kept her expression blank. “I need you to tell me everything that happened after Kace turned off the alarm.” The fact that the alarm had needed to be disengaged was an important point. The killer had known the security codes for the place. He’d gotten in and out too easily.

“We headed to the main bar area. We stopped a moment. Talked.”

Remy didn’t say more.

Grayson raised one brow. “About what?”

Remy’s gaze cut to her. “Bree.”

Her shoulders stiffened.

“I told him it was dangerous having a Fed so close, but he didn’t care. That’s the thing about Kace. He never listens to warnings. Always does whatever the hell he wants.”

“Is he going to be pissed that you’re talking to us?” Grayson wanted to know.

Remy appeared confused. “Why the hell would he be? I’m not spilling state secrets. We came in, we both discovered the body, and then Kace tried to pull her down.” His hands fisted. “I’m about to do the same damn thing myself. Not right to leave her up there while people are taking pictures and talking around her body.”

Voice low and calm, Bree explained, “The techs are just doing their jobs so we can catch her killer.
