She laughed. “Insecure about being a third—or fourth—wheel, with you, Ragnar, and Red.”
“There’s no need. You possess a talent Ragnar and I are lacking, and your ‘hearing’ is even superior to Red’s.” He hesitated. “You saved Dierdre. I might not have stopped where you insisted we stop. I might have backtracked. And it might have been too late.”

At her building, he left her off on the street. “Eight a.m. tomorrow?”
“I’ll be outside. Ready.”

“Of course. I’ll get right back to you.”
She was true to her word. Mark’s phone rang before he reached the Krewe offices.
“Hey, Megan doesn’t have anything until tomorrow evening. She’s thrilled to meet with Brant Pickering. And she understood immediately he was a suspect; she’s happy to prove we’re wrong about him.”
“He’s just a person of interest.”
“I said that. She said ‘suspect.’”
He smiled. Megan Law sounded like Colleen’s sister, all right.
“Great. I’ll set up a time with Pickering—”
“Okay. Megan will be downstairs with me at eight.”
“The meeting may be later—”
“We might as well have her with us for whenever. And she loves dogs. She’ll be fine.”

He wanted to get back to see Carver again.

A search warrant had been issued.
Forensic crews had been in.
But he knew there was something there...
He just didn’t know what.
“Okay. Eight a.m.,” he said.
“We’ll be there.”
