CHAPTER 20

Finding Cass ended up being a lot easier than I would’ve thought, and I wanted to kick myself for not having figured it out sooner.

While my brother was using every resource at his disposal to locate Cass, I’d had this strange feeling in my gut just after the sun had fallen and instead of ignoring it, I’d followed it. Sully had told me countless times to stay inside our house and had even posted several of his men all around our block so they could keep an eye on things, but I’d been going stir-crazy for days. Luckily, my brother had chosen tonight to call all the men who were watching the house inside for a quick briefing. I’d used the opportunity to quietly make my own escape.

Learning that either Cass or I had been the target of the shootings and not just an afterthought to the other murders had broken me. I didn’t remember my brother taking me home from the motel, nor did I remember the twenty-four hours that had followed. Fortunately, when I’d finally let the grief and guilt take a back seat to what was happening, I’d been able to start looking at all the evidence Sully had collected—and thankfully remembered to grab from the cabin—with a fresh perspective.

I’d also been waiting for the phone to ring.

Any phone. Sully’s cell, mine, the landline we still had in the house for some reason. I’d been desperate to hear Cass’s voice, even if it hadn’t been directed at me.

There’d been no call and as each hour had passed, I’d grown more and more restless. Even though I’d told Cass to leave, I was pretty sure he hadn’t. Not the area, at least. Cass was probably doing the same thing that Sully and I were.

Trying to identify the murderer and anyone who might have been linked to him.

Cass wouldn’t be searching to finally prove to the world that he’d been innocent all along—no, he wouldn’t be thinking about himself at all. He’d be focused on finding the person or people who’d killed a little girl, her mother, and a federal agent.

And me.

He’d be trying to find out who’d hurt me.

Who’d taken his JJ from him.

That wouldn’t be all, though. Cass had been protecting me from pretty much the moment he’d been released from prison, and he wouldn’t stop doing that just because I wasn’t the same JJ he’d cared so much for. He’d protect me because that was what Cass did.

What he’d always done.

It had been more than a week since Sully had picked me up from the motel. My brother and I hadn’t talked about anything other than the evidence he’d dug up in his own effort to find the suspect. Unfortunately, my memory loss hadn’t been limited to just the nights before and of the shooting. I hadn’t been able to remember anything from several months prior to that night. My last memory had been of Sully’s birthday shortly after the death of our father.
