THIRTY

Shocked by Rio’s drawn appearance when he staggered into her office with Carter, Jenna sat him down and pushed a cup of coffee in front of him. She trusted Wolfe’s opinion and would act on it. She looked at him, needing to say something positive. “I’m sorry I was so hard on you, Zac. I’m glad Wolfe was able to clear you of any involvement so quickly. You should go home and rest. We’ll find the person who did this to you.”

“You followed procedure.” Rio lifted his red-rimmed eyes to her. “I’d like to stay if you don’t mind. When you discuss the case, it might trigger flashbacks of what happened. I’ll stand down if it becomes a conflict of interest.”

Considering the options, Jenna nodded somewhat reluctantly. “Okay.” She turned to Carter. “What have we got?”

She listened as Carter updated her and shook her head when he voiced his worry over Rowley’s safety. “I’ve trained Jake to be cautious. He wouldn’t put himself in danger. These suspects are both working outside, in full view of the neighbors and homeowners, or I wouldn’t have sent him out alone. He’s fine. He called just before and he’s on his way back to the office. He’s spoken to Bueller and Hahn, and neither of them had an alibi for any of the times of the murders, so they are well and truly still on our list of possible suspects.” She dropped a pen into the old chipped cup with welcome to hawaii printed on one side and looked at him. “Hahn was within five minutes’ drive of the last murder scene, and Bueller admits to being in transit between Stanton and Main around nine as well. Both men were in the vicinity of the murder scene. Neither has anyone to prove their whereabouts. Although Hahn dropped by Aunt Betty’s at around eight-thirty. We can check that out.”

“Any clues to who left the message on the front door again?” Carter placed one boot on his other knee and leaned back in his chair. “No prints and no CCTV?”

When Carter aimed his piercing green eyes at her, it sometimes made her feel like a rookie. It wasn’t him. She liked him just fine, and away from the job he was a really nice guy. Like Kane, he shot straight from the hip and didn’t sugarcoat anything. His investigative experience was mind-blowing and sometimes a little daunting. Jenna pushed the hair from her eyes with a sigh. “Nope. I assume they used a stick dipped in the mud puddle beside the door to write it. No prints and the CCTV camera is still out. I walked the streets with Jo when we arrived to ask everyone close by if they noticed anyone and got zip.” She met Rio’s troubled gaze. “Someone sure has it in for you, Zac. Is there anything we should know?”

“Not about last night, no. Wolfe told me the memory might come back in flashes and as soon as anything comes back, I’ll tell you.
