CHAPTER TEN

“You have any connection to this case, Lieutenant?” Freddy looked toward Hauck, trying to connect the dots.

Hauck shook his head. “No.” In a strange way that made him feel relieved.

They read through the rest of the article, which recounted how the victim, a high school honors student, and a group of her friends had sneaked into the fenced-in community pool at night. They’d been drinking a little, which led to them horsing around in the pool. Apparently, the victim’s bathing suit got entangled on an underwater filter duct that had been left open and she couldn’t tear it free. The rest of the kids scattered, panicked. The body ended up being found by a night security guard. Then one by one, the next day, they started to come forward, identified by the school and local police.

No charges were ever filed.

But it didn’t have to do with him, Hauck realized now, recalling the window rolling down and the barrel pointed in his eyes.

Nor did it connect to David Sanger. That now seemed clear. Simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. The poor guy had no idea what was behind the attack that killed him.
