Someone had tricked her into coming to the reunion, Amber realized.

Someone who wanted to make sure I’d be here.

“Amber? Are you okay?” Caleb asked.

He was staring at her, an eyebrow lifted in concern. Before she could formulate a response, a scream pierced the silence.

She shot to her feet. The scream had come from outside.

Caleb brushed past Amber at a full run before dropping to the stone walkway beside the body on the ground.

When Amber reached them, she stifled a gasp. The victim was Alex. From their old group of friends.

Caleb held up a hand. “Everyone stay back.”

She stepped forward and knelt beside him. Everyone didn’t include her. “I’m a cop.”

Amber drew in a shaky breath. First Mona, now Alex. One-third of them gone before age thirty.

“This is Detective Caleb Sutherland with the Levy County Sheriff’s Office.” Caleb spoke into the phone, his voice all cool professionalism. Detective? Caleb?

She figured he’d be a preacher or something equally righteous. Now they’d work together to solve this murder.

Murders.
