Chapter Twenty-Four

“Hanging out with you is becoming a criminal activity,” William sighed as Lacey used his old credit card to pick the lock of the library. Luckily, like the rest of town, the library was an old building, and the lock didn’t resist much.

“If you ask me, libraries should be open to the public twenty-four seven,” Lacey replied, and once inside, she slowly navigated in the darkness. “Learning can happen at any time of the day.”

“Speaking of which, what are we looking to learn exactly? ” William inched around the shadows, his hand scraping the wall. “Ah, here’s the light switch.”

“No!” Lacey yelped. “We don’t want anyone seeing that someone is here. They might alert the police.” The last thing she needed was for a nosy neighbor to call Deputy Morris about night lurkers.

She turned on her phone screen, which was luckily barely coming alive after being shattered in the forest. The screen wasn’t really legible anymore, but the backlight functioned most of the time. The glow wasn’t bright, but it gave them a sense of direction.

“Well, we’re not looking for a book, I’ll tell you that,” Lacey added, nearly colliding against a corner table set up in the far right of the lobby.

William chuckled at Lacey’s attempt to light their way with a cell phone. He pulled out a small flashlight from his back pocket, thanking his lucky stars he had found Lacey in the woods during his hike, and that he still carried the trinket. Turning it on, a much brighter light shone in the library, although it was limited to their immediate surroundings.

“If you’re not here for a book, what then?” William asked.

“The records room, of course. I want to cull evidence.”

“Another breaking and entering?” William let out a groan. “Before this is over, I’ll be locked up in jail.”

“Or dead,” Lacey countered matter of factly.

“Jeez, depressing much?”

Lacey shrugged. “Well, that’s where we’re heading if we don’t figure out what’s going on—and soon.” She thought of Brian and knew time was running out. The possibility of him being dead grated on her nerves, slicing each one of them with little razors. She simply couldn’t accept that as Brian’s fate; just like she couldn’t accept that something—or someone—hadn’t been after her on the Davidsons’ property. The way the bobcat had looked at her, its piercing glare promising to slice her into pieces, was hard to ignore. Then, of course, Ginny was there, warning her or pointing at something. The Collins’ shed and the clues she had found in it were peculiar enough, but right now her priority was finding Brian, and quickly.

As she walked past the lobby, the flashlight shone on the glass case housing the Haas book, the oldest artifact in Raven Hills. She was tempted to inspect it, but she needed to hurry and get into the record room. After stumbling in the dark for a few more minutes, they finally reached Deputy Morris’s record room, which as they expected, was locked.

“You destroyed my old credit
