Detective? When did she get promoted? He glanced at the fine bones in her outstretched hand and gave her a curt nod as he shoved his hands in his jeans’ front pockets. The last thing he needed was to touch her. “Nice to meet you, Detective.”

Her brow furrowed slightly and she lowered her hand back to her side. “Call me Kaitlyn. What are you doing here?” Her eyebrow rose and her lips quirked slightly. “Don’t tell me you were just out for a stroll.”

He didn’t miss her sarcasm, but he had to wonder, What the hell was he doing here? He glanced at the burned remains of his brethren at the same time the wind in the open field began to pick up, stirring the ashes. Rain’s thick moisture carried heavily in the air. They had maybe ten minutes before it began to come down on them.
