"No body found," he said "No blood No signs of struggle"

Luke gave a slow nod "So whoever didn’t want the guy to talk didn’t want him identified either"

"Yeah," Blake said "No doubt the dude’s going to end up at the bottom of a river soine that ould have happened to the two of you You’d have goneForever"

"No body, no murder," Luke said "Am I the only one that thinks Moore wouldn’t risk the connection of his soon-to-be ex’s death, and that of his divorce attorney?"

"Judge Moore wasn’t behind this"

"Arelshe shouldn’t," Blake suggested "It makes sense he’d kill off Elizabeth and Julie"

"Would he want Judge Moore under investigation if Moore is instruoing back to shooting your own guy and then getting rid of the body That’s big"

"Where are you going with this?"

"I don’t know but we have a judge involved We could have law enforcement involved So And who knows just how involved we are?"

"We don’t know she’s innocent herself," Blake said

"But this e have her under our watch anyway"

"Good point I’ll put so we can use to protect you and Julie And you need to consider locking Julie down, too, man She’s too close to this Don’t fk up like I did with Rebecca and lose her"

Right Lock Julie down Piece of cake Luke had a feeling he was about to see a war unlike any he’d ever known
