But nothing looked out of place, no overturned plants, no phone knocked to the floor. Nothing. Mel’s roommate had a tragic, accidental fall. There was nothing pointing to foul play. But maybe he could come back and dust the other light switches for fingerprints.
He blew out his frustrations and leaned against the banister.
Another image appeared in his mind. The victim falling, the terror in her eyes before her head struck a stair and then another. Standing behind her, at the top of the staircase was a man dressed in a black hooded robe, wearing a gold mask.
“What the hell?” Nate jumped away from the railing and rubbed his face, a cold sweat covering his back. He was probably just overtired and concerned about his witness—about Mel.
She appeared at the top of the stairs with a duffel bag. “Are you all right?”
In that moment, staring up at her, he realized something had awakened inside him like a sixth sense. “No.” He shook his head. “No, I’m far from it.”
Frowning, she came down to his side. “What is it?”
“Just a cop’s hunch.” How could he put what had just happened into words without sounding completely insane? Though, maybe he was insane. “Let’s get you to your friend’s place.”
He rushed her out of the condo; adrenaline pumping until he thought his heart might burst. Something was very wrong.
