I stayed where I was, helping and explaining everything I’d done so far.
Then they were leaving, and I was covered in blood.
“Ma’am.”
I turned to find an officer, another state trooper, toward the side of the highway with his hand extended.
I hurried toward him, my eyes already searching for Keene.
I found him talking to three other officers, his hands on his hips, and a murderous expression on his face.

“How do you inadvertently do that?” He chuckled as he stopped at a door at the end of the hall. “This is my office.”
I followed him inside, watching as he walked to a door and threw it open.
