The doorbell rang, jerking Deke out of his thoughts. He trekked across the room, paused in front of the door and peered through the peephole, then unlocked the door and opened it to allow Lieutenant Desmond, Cara Bedell and Geoff Monday entrance.
“How’s Lexie?” Desmond and Cara asked simultaneously.
“A little shaken up but okay.”

Cara ran to Lexie and grabbed her by the arms, then looked her over from head to toe. “Thank God you’re all in one piece.” She glanced back at the detective. “Geoff and I followed Bain the whole way. People get out of the way for a policemen’s flashing light.”
