The next morning, Creed rose early while Delphy slept on. Though she hadn’t invited him to her bed, he’d seen a softening that made him think he had a chance to win his way back into her heart. This half-life they’d been living was no longer enough for him and he had the notion it wasn’t enough for Delphy, either. He wanted his family back—in every possible way. And he figured the first step toward that was to put this murder behind them. Of course, to do that, they needed some answers. And he aimed to get them.

The cool of the morning let him make good time up the mountain to check on the kids. He approached stealthily. Michael was at the creek with several fish on a stringer. Creed shook his head. That boy’s father had made some wrong assumptions about his son. Maybe that could be put to rights, too. Up the hill, Loyal and the girl still slumbered on either side of their now-cold campfire. He watched longer than he needed to, enjoying seeing his son so at ease in these woods he loved. Finally, the sun rising, he eased back down the mountain and set off for town at a lope.

Virgil was already in his office. “You ready to lead the search party?” he asked. “I need to get up to Elkins to see about Otto’s trial. Might have to delay it until we find those kids.”

Creed steeled himself. He was about to take a risk. Virgil was a good friend, but what he was going to ask . . . having been the sheriff, he knew he was putting Virgil in a tough spot. “What if I told you I know where the kids are?”

Virgil jerked his head up from the file folder he was sifting through. “I’d want to know why they aren’t standing here beside you.”

Creed’s mouth felt as dry as plowed ground in August. “I might be reluctant for just anyone to know they’d been found.”

“Just anyone like who? No. Wait. Like a particular fella who’s been pushing us hard to interview your son?”

Creed nodded, unable to work up enough spit to speak. Virgil was either about to go along with him or about to arrest him and throw away the key.

The sheriff let out a long-suffering sigh. “You’re worse than a woman to wear a man down.” He tilted back in his chair until it groaned. “Tell me what you’ve cooked up.”
