"Something's wrong with that detective," Jasmine said, dropping onto Skye's couch.

"When David commits, he commits."

"Does that mean you're finished with him?"

The letter. Keep working on the letter. Otherwise, Jasmine will see that it's killing you to answer this question. "Of course. Why would I go on being stupid?"

"Loving someone isn't stupid. I'd actually like to fall in love."

This succeeded in pulling Skye away from her computer. "Even with a man who doesn't love you back?"

"Even with a man who doesn't love me back. Then maybe I could feel something besides the emptiness I feel now." Sighing, she leaned back and gazed up at the pictures above her head. "This is creepy, Skye," she said, her tone suddenly far less wistful. "You know that, don't you?"

Skye had started typing again. We would be delighted to honor you for what you 've already done for the community and... "What's creepy?"

"That there are pictures of psychopaths hanging on your wall. Doesn't it bother you to have them staring down at you?"

Skye studied the pictures. "Sometimes. A lot of times," she admitted.

"But they motivate me. They're the reason I show up here each day, despite knowing I'll never get rich, never be completely safe, never be able to forget what I've seen and heard."

Jasmine stood and clapped her hands once. "Aren't we a barrel of laughs today."

As long as they were talking about such serious subjects. .. "Any word on the man who killed that little girl in Fort Bragg?" Skye asked.

Her face pale, Jasmine moved toward the door. "No."

"They'll find him," Skye said, feeling guilty for being so wrapped up in her own problems.

Jasmine paused and turned toward her. "He works at the lumber mill."

Skye froze. "How do you know that?"

"I keep seeing the saws. Every time I close my eyes, there are saws.

Loud, deafening, going around and around, slicing through one log after another."

"Have you called the police?"

"Of course."

"Do they believe you?"

"Probably not. But they've promised to take a blood sample from every worker who's willing to be tested."

"They have a DNA profile?"
