“I am here to inform you that your warnings the other night have proved true.”
She forced a look of surprise onto her face. “Really?”
Something flickered in the caramel eyes watching her. “Yes. We’re keeping it on the down-low, for now, so keep this to yourself.”
She tilted her head to the side, not needing to fake her confusion. “Why tell me then?”
Again something flickered in his gaze, but his lips tilted in a small smile. “While I do not know the reasons you would help someone so verbosely against your family, I can see that if your involvement is discovered, whoever was trying to pin the blame may take it out on you.”
“Ah,” said Rose, understanding at last. “So you’re just returning the favor. Giving me a heads up.”
“In a way,” Reis said, still watching her closely. “I imagine, seeing as you never believed in Grey’s guilt, you have always felt under threat. I’m just making it clear that this will go public in a few days, and someone is going to be angry.”
“Good,” she said before she could stop herself. She caught his questioning look and shrugged. “Angry people make mistakes. Mistakes will help you to catch them.”
Reis’s eyebrows rose, and he glanced back at his partner. Boone’s lips twitched as if she were trying not to laugh.
“Why did you help Frank? He would never have done the same after all.”
Rosa gave him a level stare. “You’re right. But I don’t think about it that way. I think about it more as thwarting my father’s killer.”
His eyes sharpened, and he nodded. “I see. You think the killer is still here?”
“Yes.”
“Why? Just this new murder? The similarities could be deliberate to make us chase the wrong man.”
“Then why the false evidence?”
“Touché. Why then?”
Rosa looked away, “I don’t see how that concerns you or this investigation.” She looked back, jade eyes hard. “Now that I know you can be trusted to follow through, I will confide in you if I feel it is relevant.”
Reis looked at her long and hard, then reached over to the ottoman and scooped up a piece of paper. “Very well. Will you also offer your opinion if asked?”
“Sure,” she said, intending to move on and tell him it was late, that if he wanted her opinion on anything, he could come back at a more decent hour, but he preempted her, flipping the page to face her.
“Do you recognize this symbol?”
Rosa felt her face muscles go stiff as she took in the carefully drawn lines making up the sealed scroll, inkpot, and quill.
“No,” she lied.
Dear reader,
That was a suspenseful scene, wasn’t it? Why Rosa had to lie about the symbol?
I bet you want to find out. The next story is even more exciting, so dive into The Kay Sister, Book 3.
Your friend,
