Stone Richardson slammed his butt into the seat of his car and jammed the key into the ignition. He never had liked Mondays.
âGood morning to you, too,â Jack Stryker said.
âBuckle up,â Stone muttered, but it sounded too much like âshut upâ for Stryker to argue.
His partner continued as if nothing was wrong.
âOkay, we know that the last word out of Olivia Stuartâs mouth at the hospital was âcoal.â And weâve got a map detailing the area where the consortiumâs lease for strip mining is expiring. Weâve got an agendaâtry and see if there is any connection between the mayorâs last word and the business to which she was so opposed. If we find that, we might find her killer. Now all we need is an attitude adjustment.â
Stone started the car, yanking it in gear and leaving rubber behind as he peeled out of the parking lot.
Stryker glanced at his partner, then down at his watch.
âSo, itâs gonna be like this, is it?â When Stone didnât answer, Stryker glanced at his watch and slid a little further into the seat. It was going to be a hell of a long, silent day of police work.

âEasy does it, Miss Hanson. One more stitch and theyâll all be out.â
Jessica squinched her eyes shut, wincing against the tug to her scalp as Dr. Howell removed the last stitch.
âAnd that does it,â he said, dropping the bit of stitch, as well as his instruments, into a nearby pan. Moving her hair aside, he swabbed alcohol on the area. Peering closely at the results of his handiwork, he gave her a pat on the arm. âExcept for the haircut, youâre good as new.â
She blinked and thrust her hand into her hair in embarrassment.
âOh, I didnât mean your new style. I meant the cut I gave you.â Noah flicked the end of a straggly lock away from her ear. âYours is quite fetching.â
He stepped back and looked at her more closely as his nurse moved in, swabbing the healing wound with a last dab of disinfectant. âYou knowâ¦that hairdo really changes your appearance. You remind me of someone, but I just canât think who.â
