He strode past me and I tried towith accepting he was a ghost and had he lashed out in anger? But hoas I at fault, and what had happened to change his dee? I’d done nothing but help him, even when I didn’t want to, and he treated me like a piece of crap on the bottom of his shoe

If he thought for one second I’d put up with his nasty attitude, then he had picked the wrong woman to haunt No matter that I cared for hih with him

Chapter Six

Two nights had passed in a blur We narrowed down the list of suspects to one, Cole Moody Since the others turned out to be straight-up cops with no hint of trouble within their es, Zach and Kipp concluded they weren’t viable suspects

“He’s married, two kids—one and five” I read Cole’s file aloud as I sat in the front seat of Zach’s navy-blue Dodge Ram

“Any reprimands?” Zach asked

I glanced away from the file and looked at him “Would you like to tellI kne to help hi the basics within the papers, but still, they were thirty pages deep with tons of information on them

“Flip the page—halfway down” Zach grinned

I narrowed my eyes “If you try to defend him for one second, I’ll castrate you”
