“What else do we know about this cabin?” I ask, pacing back and forth.

“Joyce says he always described it in vivid detail. In fact, I’m pretty sure she spoke with a sketch artist and described it.” Ronan scratches his head and starts to shuffle through even more papers, looking for the drawing.

“Really? I haven’t seen that.” It certainly isn’t in any of my notes about the case, and as the leader of the shifter squad, I should have been informed of something as major as this.

“She did it off-the-books,” Oliver says. “She confessed everything to me this morning. I knew she was interested in finding out what happened to Charlene, but until this morning, I had no idea just how invested in the case she really was.” He smiles at me. “Congratulations on your darling mate, Sergeant Dixon. You’ve got your hands full with this one.”

His eyes are twinkling, though, and I know he’s just teasing me.

“You’re close, aren’t you?” I ask him, and Oliver nods.

“I’d say Joyce is essentially responsible for connecting each of us with our partners on some level,” he says. “And we all admire her greatly.”

“She’s strong,” Ronan says.

“And brave,” Landon adds. “She’s always been there for all of us, and we’ll always be there for her.”

“She’s lucky to have you in her life,” I tell the men, and I mean it. I’m happy to know my mate has been surrounded by people who truly understand her and care about her. I’m happy she’s surrounded by people who are brave and strong and willing to grow.

“Speaking of luck,” Oliver stands and stretches. “Where’s Joyce on the coffee? I’m going to go check. Maybe the coffeemaker is messing up again. It was giving us a hard time last week, but I thought I got it fixed.” He strides out of the office just as Ronan holds up a piece of paper.

“Found it!” He says, and holds out the drawing of the cabin for us to see. Sure enough, the drawing is of a small wooden cabin. It looks quaint, and it looks dated.

“It’s small, isn’t it?” I ask, taking the drawing from him.

“What do you mean?”

“Well, if it’s a hunting cabin, it would be bigger than this: maybe two or three rooms. If it’s a weekend getaway, it would still be larger than this. This drawing looks like it’s from something out of the past. It almost looks like a one-room cabin pioneers would live in.”

“Fuck,” Landon says, and he takes the paper from me. “Could it be that simple?”

“What?” Ronan and I both ask him, but Landon pulls his phone from his pocket and does an image search. When he turns the phone around, I’m shocked.

“Uncle Tom’s Cabin?” I ask. “The Harriet Beecher Stowe book?”

The drawing from Joyce’s description and the cover of the book are identical. That’s how detailed Logan was when he told Joyce about the cabin.

“What the hell does this mean?” Ronan asks, shaking his head.

“Smith is an English professor at the college,” I say.
