I was done waiting.
Except, stupid me, I realized that all of the RV doors opened out and not in.
So there would be no kicking the door in like I’d originally been planning.
Hell, there wasn’t even a way to look in the windows because the damn thing was so high off the ground.
“Door’s unlocked.”
I looked toward where Thumper had the door partially open and climbed the steps, throwing the door open wide as I moved.
It hit the side of the camper with a solid thud and then I was standing inside the camper.
“Well,” I said as I finally processed what I was seeing, then stepped back out. “I don’t think we need to worry about Errol anymore.”
“Why?” Denver asked.
Gentry stepped forward and peered in, whistling. “Brutal.”
Denver poked his head in next and winced. “Fuck.”
Thumper could see the gore from where he was standing and scrunched up his nose. “This happened a while ago. The decomposition is at least two months, if not more, old.”
I agreed.
I scrubbed my hands down my face. “What a mess.”
Denver’s phone rang, breaking the silence.
“Hey, Ma,” Denver answered. “Do you mind if I call you back?”
Denver shifted, his phone pressed to his ear, and listened.
His gaze shifted to me, and then he said, “Yeah, I’ll get out there and help. Do you have the girl covered on lunch?”
Denver listened for a bit longer, said his goodbyes, and then shoved his phone back into his pocket.
“What is it?”
Hux had already called me once today telling me he saw Constance at my place.
He’d also sent me a photo of her note pinned to my door with chewing gum.
I hadn’t called her back yet, because I wanted to have some answers for her when I did.
Only, I was no closer to those answers and had added more questions.
“Your woman and her mom are stuck in the rehab facility because a couple of huge dogs were dumped at their property. They’re aggressive and they can’t leave.”
I was immediately turning around and heading toward my truck, the cold wind biting at my face and ears.
The drive to Constance’s place took fifteen minutes.
When I arrived, it was to see Denver and Thumper weren’t far behind.
The others had stayed at the crime scene.
When I got out, I immediately stepped back inside as the dogs came barreling toward me.
