She sighed and punched a dial on the stereo. “He wants to talk to both of us.”

“Logan?” Marcus’s deep voice filled the speakers of the car.

“Yeah.”

“Before Bella so rudely cut me off last night, I was trying to explain to her that we had some additional information. We hadn’t been able to talk since I sent you the message about Bishop.”

Logan slowly made his way up the incline to the cabin. “Did he finally get details out of the kid?”

“Well, he’s not exactly a kid, Logan.”

Logan drew in a deep breath. “What did he say, Roth?”

“You were right. That year that he disappeared, DeSalvo wasn’t just going underground to get away from Aimee. He was in a facility.”

Logan’s eyebrows shot up. “What kind of facility?”

“I’m working on it. From the outside it looks like a drug rehab, but something is hinky.”

“Hinky?” Izzy questioned.

“Yeah. I think we’ve finally got something so I’ve got Aidan digging into it with our electronics g

irl. If there’s something off, Gracie will help us figure it out.”

“That’s great,” Logan said.

“Marcus, we need you out here. We want to lure Aimee out of hiding.”

“Well, she’s not hiding. She’s making herself as public a spectacle as possible.”

Logan opened the window and punched in the code for the gate, rolling into the gravel driveway.

Izzy crossed her arms over her stomach. “We need you to see what she did at the cabin. She’s losing it—there’s no way she’s not. Not with what she did. We need to push her now while she’s freaking out.”

“I thought you didn’t trust me.”

Logan winced at the coolness of Marcus’s tone.

“I don’t trust anyone right now.” Izzy’s voice was matter-of-fact. “She’s got way too much insider information. I don’t know how she’s got it, but she does. So we’re not hiding. We’re in Winchester Falls.”

“Are you nuts?”

He pulled up to the front of the house and parked, leaving the truck running. “Hear her out, Roth.”

“I don’t want to be stupid about this, Marcus. I swear I don’t. But the idea of Logan and me happy and making a life in Winchester Falls seems to set her off. I think we need to use that.”

“I’ll be there by this afternoon,” Marcus said. “I’m bringing a detail. No arguments.”

“None from me,” Logan said.

“Bring Sarah if you haven’t reassigned her.”

“She’s eager to be back on this job.”

“Good,” Izzy said. “I have a lot I want to discuss.”

Logan so didn’t like the sound of that.
