Cary Hagan caracefully as a southern breeze, her s a silver tray with a coffee service, a cup of tea and a plate of fresh baked ht here Oh…! I should have asked Would either of you prefer tea?" she asked Sarah and Will

"Coffee is great, thank you," Sarah said

"Anything you have is just fine for me," Will told her

Sarah wanted to s, Mr Griffin pointed to a painting on the wall "That’s the old Castillo, done at the turn of century Beautiful, isn’t it?" he asked He clearly wasn’t going to say anything ht be too smitten to see it, but Sarah was very aware that Mr Griffin didn’t want to speak in front of his own nurse

As soon as she politely could, Sarah ed Will out

"What’s the matter with you?" she asked the minute they were back on the sidewalk "Don’t you see? Mr Griffin doesn’t trust Cary"

"Oh, co back toward the house "You’re just jealous because she’s so gorgeous, so you don’t want to trust her"

"Will! I a ridiculous, Sarah So this How can you possibly think that it’s Cary Hagan?"

She shook her head and started walkingan affair with Ti to catch up with her "So what do you think? She ditches Mr Griffin, lures young wos, kills them, bathes in their blood or whatever--and then sleeps with the cop in charge of the case?"

"Look, I didn’t say she was guilty of anything, I just said that she was suspicious," Sarah told hi and she quickly pulled it out of her pocket, expecting it to be Caleb calling to say that he and Floby were at her house

But it wasn’t Caleb It was Caroline

"Sarah, can you get over to the museu why Caroline sounded so upset Caroline wasn’t a fool; if there were a real eency, she would have called 911 "Why?" Sarah asked

"Just hurry, please," Caroline said "Oh, Sarah, it’s so awful!"

"What’s so awful?" Sarah asked

Will was staring at her tensely "Awful?" he echoed "What’s so awful?"

Sarah frowned and waved a hand in the air, trying to shush hiht Barry and Renee got into a fight Barry left, Renee decided to go bar-hopping and…oh, Sarah! She was attacked"

Floby looked at the body in the trunk and shook his head sadly "Poor woman"

"Well?"

"Well what? She’s practically mummified," Floby said "What do you want from me? Time of death?"

"Any opinions?" Caleb asked

"Not at this h, I would love to do the autopsy on this one For the body to be as well-preserved as this one is…I’ht have been drained of blood, like our Jane Doe fro is, Caleb, this is another case for the university guys"

"It’s a body found in a suspicious context in a private residence, Floby You have every right to handle it"

Floby didn’t answer as he knelt down by the trunk, opening his pathology kit "First I’ll take a tissue saet DNA, and that’s what interests youinterests me more"

"It would be i anyone else now," Floby pointed out

"I need to kno she died," Caleb said "I want to know about drugs in her systeroaned "I’ll do et the corpse"

"I can’t do that without calling the cops, and you know it," Floby told him

"I’ll call Jamison myself," Caleb said "This is important"

Caleb reached for his phone, but as he did so, it began to ring Sarah

"Caleb--" she began, but her next words beeped out by his call waiting

It was Jamison on the other line
