Page 225 of Rangers Unexpected Return

"He spent almost forty minutes upstairs."

"Working on the wiring."

Saint shook his head.

"I called Eagle River Electric."

The room became silent.

"They've never had anyone here."

Every Ranger looked at the speaker.

The Keeper hadn't broken into the tavern.

He'd walked through the front door.

Wearing a uniform.

Judy folded her arms.

"He adapts."

"He watches."

"He learns routines."

"And he knew nobody questions the repairman."

Will carefully sealed the speaker in an evidence bag.

"There might be prints."

"There won't be," Judy said.

"Probably not."

"But maybe DNA."

Mace looked toward the hallway.

"He wanted us upstairs."

Judy immediately looked back at him.

"Why?"

"So we'd find this."

She slowly nodded.

"Another breadcrumb."

"But what didn't he want us to find?"

Nobody answered.

Max suddenly left the speaker.
