Quinn walked through the front doors of the hotel into the near-empty lobby at eleven-thirty that night, tired—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. It had taken another hour to convince Lisa to go home. She would live in that lab if someone didn’t take away her building keys.

Two more days, then he was going to call this search ended. Lisa needed her life back, she was working too many extra hours on a problem that was going nowhere. And he needed to release it rather than hold so tight he lost his perspective.

The day couldn’t get worse than this.

Kate was sitting in a plush chair among the general seating across from the check-in counter, choosing the one chair that would put her back to the wall and watching those who entered the hotel. Tension coiled through his spine; he changed course to meet her. She got to her feet as he came over. He took one look at her expression, settled his hands gently on her forearms, and nodded toward the lounge. “You need a table or a walk?”

“Yeah. I feel like punching something, but that’s nothing new. The emotions will pass. I sat in the hall on the other side of a busted apartment door for six hours. Hot as blazes, I went through about a dozen water bottles, but not as bad as most cases lately.”

“Keep drinking a lot of water tonight or your muscles will cramp.”

“I will.”

She would typically have called Marcus when she needed to unwind about a case, but she’d taken the time to track him down instead. She hadn’t paged—because she knew he’d been with Lisa? The case she’d worked wasn’t the reason she had come to find him.

“There was something waiting for me when I got back to the office tonight.” She looked over at him. “You’re not going to like this, Quinn.”

They were at the river bridge. He turned her toward one of the benches where they could sit and watch the boats. Quinn braced his forearms against his knees, not looking at Kate because he had a feeling he knew what subject was coming and that his first reaction was not going to be worth seeing. “What
