“You’re making more and more mistakes, Cookie.” I didn’t take my gaze off her. “How could you have known someone tried to kill me? How could you have even known where I’d be?” I let her mistake sink in. “Because you were the one to suggest the route I would take, and you gave me a GPS with a low battery. You couldn’t know how long the battery would last, but you knew the dogs would head straight for Shadow Woman’s house, and I’d go after them. Besides, Sam didn’t follow me. He left for the mine as soon as he got here. You sent him ahead.”

“You’re crazy.” Cookie looked at the others. “She’s crazy.”

“You should have told Sam not to light a fire in Mae’s cookstove. Yet another mistake. It was still warm. You told Sam to put me in the cave because you knew darkness was a PTSD trigger for me—”

“How could I have known that? I don’t know you that well.”

“You knew I had PTSD. You saw my reaction to the darkness my first night here. You offered a lantern to Wyatt and Bram to get me to the cabin. You were hoping I’d get lost in the cave, go into a fugue state, or die in the geyser.” My voice shook. Putting her plans for my death into words sent chills down my back. “But Sam had no idea what I was talking about when I accused him of trying to kill me. He didn’t know about the geyser. You did. Mae couldn’t get her message through to Roy, but you were there. You understood. You moved the miners, set that fire, then murdered Mae.”

“No!”

“He believed the mine tapped out because you told him. You. His beloved sister. His only family.”

“That’s horrible.” Grace looked at Cookie now as if she were the devil incarnate. Which she was.

“You told Sam to remove my prosthesis and bring it here. You probably said that would slow me down. You had him put the prosthesis into the building, which you’d then burn. You hoped no one would question what happened to the rest of my body.”

Roy had stepped away from Cookie and was staring at her. Now he looked at me. “That can’t be right, Darby. Sam was here all last night and today. You were in the dining room when Sam shot in the window! And this morning when you rode out, Sam was shooting at you. He couldn’t have been two places at once.”
