The Switch
“!
The unfinished exclamation came from FBI Agent Patterson when he joined Special Agent Hank Tobias in Melina Lloyd's kitchen.
For a time both men silently surveyed the damage. Eventually Patterson turned to the agent from the Washington office for his more experienced opinion. "Any ideas?" Tobias nudged a dead flower petal with the toe of his shoe. "Beyond the obvious that some kind of altercation took place, I haven't the foggiest." When Melina Lloyd had failed to answer her doorbell, Tobias ...had tested the front door and found it unlocked. He opened it and called out her name. His voice was absorbed by the hollow silence of an empty house.
Had she intentionally stood him up? That could indicate she had something to hide. Reluctance to be questioned usually signified criminal involvement on some level. Or, if she'd had no choice but to leave her house unattended and unlocked, that could mean any number of things. None he could think of were good. Or—and this possibility filled him with dread—she had met with a fate similar to her sister's and was unable to respond.MoreLess
