“Yes on Blevins,” Nathan said. “He took a road trip out of town. His vehicle showed up in Louisville, Kentucky. Cops there caught up with him. We’ll question him, so maybe his answers will shed some light. I get the feeling he was skipping town because he was afraid for his life.”

Jack nodded. “Smart man, considering what went down last night. I can’t wait to learn more about his dealings with Neva. But the pilot . . .” Jack pointed at the whiteboard. “Our identity thief, Chance Carter, he stuck around to meet with a dangerous man. And we need to know why.”

“Where do you think Leif was heading after he left the bar?” Nathan asked. “Just throwing you off his tail?”

“Maybe he was going to meet someone, and then because he was tailed and made a mess of things, he was murdered.” Jack pressed the heels of his palms into his eyes.

“And that murderer had to have been close and somehow took out Morrisey while cops were combing the area.” Nathan frowned. “You want me to search again?”

“Did you talk to the people who live in the farmhouse?”

“Sure did. A widow claimed to have been asleep.”

“Then let’s go question her,” Jack said.

“You’re on desk duty, remember?” Nathan capped the marker and put it aside.

“Like the sheriff said, he needs all his resources on this. I’ll stand idly by while you do the questioning.”

“Why do you want to question her again?” Nathan asked.

“She’s lying.”

“Maybe you should have stayed home to rest today. You can’t be serious.”

Jack scratched his jaw. “Dead serious. Nobody could have slept through that.”

FIFTY-NINE

ASAC Dan Murphy, Terra’s superior, called early this morning and wanted her in for a debriefing of last night’s events when he returned from a conference in three days. Unlike Jack, Terra never actually fired her weapon in the incident with Leif. Still, she was much too close to the investigation given Owen’s relationship with Leif. She almost laughed at that. But until her superior said otherwise, she was still investigating the archaeological crimes/murder case. In the meantime, she took the morning off to get her bearings.

She fixed brunch for Gramps.

His favorite—a BLT sandwich. The sandwich waited on the table while she waited for Gramps. He had a conference call with Marcus Briggs. Gramps was really going to do this.

Terra rubbed her shoulders to ease the tension. Every sound made her jump.

Her precious family—those in her inner circle whom she trusted most—was near being torn apart. She hoped that Owen was off the hook, but she couldn’t be sure. Then add to that, Gramps had hired someone to break into his safe? She hoped Owen had misunderstood.
