âItâs official.â Chief Finn Colton faced his K-9 officers in the morning briefing. âThe Groom Killer has claimed a fourth victim.â
Brayden Colton remained silent throughout the buzz of conversation that followed. Four dead men...and this time it felt personal. Again. The first victim had been the half brother of a cop. This time, the murdered guy was an ex-cop. Although he shared the shock and grief that gripped his colleagues, Brayden had even more reason to feel anger and frustration.
He was aware of the chief watching him closely and guessed Finn was concerned about how he would react to this latest bombshell. Brayden was aware of his role. He knew how he was supposed to play this. He should keep an open mind, stay professional. Although the evidence against his kid sister was stacking up hard and fast, inside this building he was a police officer first and Demiâs brother second. Right now, he should be doing everything he could to convince his cousin, the chief, that he was impartial.
Reaching out a hand, he placed it on the head of Echo, his K-9 partner. As always, the dogâs calm, quiet presence soothed him. Brayden made sure his gaze was steady on Finnâs face as the chief continued with the briefing. Crime-scene photographs appeared on a large screen behind him. âLike the other victims, Jack Parkowski was shot through the heart. A black cummerbund was stuffed in his mouth. He was forty-eight years old, born and raised in Red Ridge, but hadnât lived here for over twenty years. Came back six months ago in preparation for his marriage to Sarah Mull. She was the one who found his body.â
âHow is she?â It was a voice from the back of the room. Sarah Mull had to be about the most popular person in Red Ridge. She had been Braydenâs first-grade teacher.
