Deception
“Sounds like someone died.”“Someone did die—a homeless guy named Hank.”“Sorry to hear that. I think I may have seen him on Main Street.”Turning toward her, Dylan put his hand on her knee. “Mia, Hank died after eating Kayla’s cookies.”Her heart slammed against her rib cage and she caught her breath. “What are you talking about?”“Hank would pick through the trash cans up and down Main Street for food. Seems he found Kayla’s discarded cookies and ate them. My guys found a plastic bag with cookie crumbs in it near Hank’s body.”“I-if the cookies killed Hank, they’re going to kill Kayla, too.” She clenched her teeth to keep them from chattering.“Not necessarily. Kayla is young and strong. Hank was an old drunk with a lousy immune system.”“It would’ve been better if Kayla had never discovered her St. Regis roots.” Her nose tingled and she pressed the back of her hand against the tip.“Look, this is bad news for Hank, but maybe we can get some prints from the bag, or the lab can analyze the coo...kie crumbs to help the doctors treat Kayla.MoreLess
