Dominic flinched at the thought of Serena with a bullet in her head. “No more joking about being targets. Gives me the creeps.”

She dared to laugh. “What? The big bad FBI guy has the creeps? I thought you guys joked all the time in morbid fashion. Like it’s some kind of ritual.”

“We do.” He slid into the driver’s seat and cranked the car. Serena slammed her door and fastened her seatbelt.

Morbid jokes were the norm around the office. He participated in the fun most of the time, but when it came to joking about Serena and death, he didn’t want to think about it, much less joke about it.

He dropped the subject and dialed BSU again. He hoped his computer forensics buddy was working today.

Terry O’Donnell picked up on the second ring. “What can I do for you, Dom?”

“I need you to track down a Rafael Perez. Last known location, Somewhere, Ecuador. He’s a relative of Fanny Correa Lindell. Do a search for her, you’ll probably find him.”

“Any more info?”

“Yeah. If you come up empty in Ecuador, try Bogota, Colombia.”

“Okay, got it. I’ll find him and get back to you.”

“One more thing.”

“Shoot.”

“Gwendolyn Lindell. I need you to find her too. Last known location, her home address in Columbia, South Carolina.” He rattled it off for Terry.

“That it?”

“For now.”

“Sit tight. I won’t be long.”

Dominic hung up. “We’ll know something soon.”

“I thought you already looked for Gwendolyn and couldn’t find her.”

“Yep, but we now have some new information. Terry may be able to put out new feelers, check old ones, and come up with something that’ll give us an indication of where she is.”

“I sure hope so.” She remembered her text. Should she bring it up? Maybe he wasn’t interested in spending a few hours on her boat. She bit her lip, then blurted, “I’m taking the boat out Saturday. Are you interested in going with me?”

Dominic nodded. “Sure. That would be wonderful.”

“I’d already planned to take tomorrow off to run errands and work around the house, get my mind off all of this craziness. Soaking in the warm sun will feel good regardless.”

He reached over and took her hand in his and squeezed her fingers. “A couple of hours in the sun will do us both some good. I’ll make sure Katie and Hunter are still running down the leads Saturday morning and offer to switch off with them another time. I don’t want this case sitting idle for one second.”

“I understand, and I also understand if you don’t want to go. I almost feel guilty even asking.”

“Don’t. We’re human and we have to recharge or we’ll fall apart. I didn’t answer your text right away because I wasn’t sure I’d be able to go. My mother’s friend, Michael, wanted Alexia and me to go eat with him and my mom Saturday morning.” He gave a brief smile. “I think he’s trying to get to know us a little better. Anyway, they’ve decided to do dinner instead. So, all that to say, yeah, a couple of hours on the water sounds great.
