“Answer the question, Mac.”
“No.”
“Did you, at any time, tell Adler Livingston that Sybil Knight was murdered?”
“Give me a damn break, Deck.”
“Just making sure, Mac.”
“Anything else?”
“Not for now.”
“Have you and your crew figured out who killed her yet?”
“I don’t have a crew, Mac, but you do. What leads do you have?”
Mac laughed and ended the call.
“The sheriff isn’t investigating my sister’s murder?”
“Of course he is. He’s also aware that we’re running our own investigation and that we can employ other…tactics.”
“What do you think Adler will do now?”
“No idea, but Edge and Grinder will prevent him from doing anything too damaging.”
“Like what?”
“Confronting your father.”
Mila gave a little shrug of her shoulder and looked out the window.
“What do you want to do, sweetheart?”
“What do you mean?”
“Boston?”
“It’s where I live, Decker.”
“Are you ready to go back now?”
She didn’t answer right away, which I saw as a good sign.
“You know what I’d really like to do?”
I smiled and shook my head. If it had anything to do with us getting naked, I was all in.
“Rile said our old house is being held in trust for me.”
“That’s right.”
“I’d like to go see it.”
“Let’s go.”
