CHAPTER 11

Thor and Jackson met with Mike in the office.

Mike listened to everything that had happened back in Seward and environs; he told them that he’d spent his time watching over the house—though there were still four police officers assigned to that duty—and searching the woods.

Thus far, he hadn’t found anything else; a forensic team had spent hours combing the area where they had found the blood spill, but as yet, no one had found the weapon or tool used to cut Amelia Carson into two halves.

“I was thinking of heading down to the cliffs next,” Mike said.

“Tomorrow,” Thor agreed.

“So, this guy really broke out of prison in Kansas and came here,” Mike said.

“I just don’t believe I’m wrong,” Thor said.

“So, we are looking for two killers.”

“That’s what we believe,” Jackson said.

Mike nodded. “Makes sense. Well, the most sense.” He stood up and said, “You’re here—I’m going to get some real sleep. But I don’t need to leave the island. Not if Enfield and Brennan are working everything in Seward. I can stay here, Thor. No offense to Jackson, but you and I know this place, and I can help search. Better than you going it alone.”

“That’s what we hoped,” Thor said.

Mike nodded. “Thing is, though, where are these killers now? Here, or on the mainland. Or, are they still split up?” He hesitated. “There have been cops or teams around the Mansion and the Alaska Hut since you’ve been gone. It’s cold at night here. If someone has been hanging around, where the hell can they be without freezing their buns off?”

“That’s the question,” Jackson said quietly.

“Unless of course,” Mike said, “one of the killers happens to be someone who is in this house.”

Thor nodded at that. “Kimball is pretty slimy.”

“Bears watching,” Mike said.

“The two of you can feel free to search,” Jackson assured him. “You don’t need to worry. I’ll be watching him. And Clara, of course. Actually, the two go together, since Clara may need watching because of him.”

“Fine. I’m going to get some sleep,” Mike said. “Thor, we’ll start about eight in the morning?”

“Eight it is,” Thor told him.

“I’ll read a book in the living room for now,” Jackson said.

“All right. I know the cops are on, but I’m going to take a walk around the place and maybe check on Clara,” Thor said.

Mike opened the door and they all left the office. Mike headed to a room. Jackson talked to the officer on duty in the living room; Thor slipped out the front door.

He saw someone leaning over the rail on the long porch. Someone tiny—Emmy Vincenzo, he thought.

And it was.

He walked over to her. She turned as he did so. For a moment, she looked frightened. Then she smiled hesitantly, reminding him of a frightened Chihuahua, always hopeful for a bit of affection while being afraid of a hand slap at the same time.

“Hey,” he said. “Enjoying the night? A bit cool, I guess, if you’re not from here. It’s warmer—really nice, actually—in Seward.
