“Okay!” The doors burst open, and Abby ju on to the arms of her chair as Mr Oliver breezed into the room

As he sat, he shifted his gaze between them, a brow cocked, and then he returned to business “Lucky for you, I actually know this case I was there when they pulled him out of the water I helped the detectives for a while”

“Really?” Abby’s eyes brightened as she straightened in her chair Whatever moment she had with Kaden passed, replaced with the thrill of new information

“Yep, and actually, this case is closed”

Kaden squinted, the corners of his eyes wrinkling in confusion “Wait, what? So, they knoho did it?”

Abby hated how deflated she felt at the news So randmother’s secret

“So, who drowned him?” Kaden asked

“Ah, I didn’t say we found the person who drowned him”

Kaden pinched the bridge of his nose “Now I’m confused”

Abby watched as Mr Oliver stood, closed the door behind him, then sat back down “I’et creative with your report because you can’tthe case convinced hied husband Last naht McBride cheating, but before he could go to the ith soot to hi that made the case unique was that McBride was a real whacko, really into homeopathic medicine and whatnot They lived on as practically a couys and I always thought the McBride angle eak”

“What does the ho?” Kaden asked

“Well, let’s just say the cause of death may have been linked to his , but you didn’t hear that from me It’s not public record Do you have any other questions I ht be able to answer?”

Abby shifted in her seat, a question rattling around her head “The reportsin thethere? Was that where McBride and his wife lived?”

“No, they didn’t live there, and the link to the location and murder was unclear I can tell you Mr Laas supposedly ht, potentially for a case, but who knows”

“They didn’t knoho?” Kaden asked
