Chapter 141

INT. - SILVER CITY MORGUE - MORNING

Gerri's boots carried her as fast as possible without her actually running down the hall of the morgue to the swinging doors.

Never mind she'd been in line to talk to the captain who seemed to be doing his best to dodge her the last few hours. She gave up her chance to corner him when she finally realized she had her phone on silent and missed the call.

By the time she slammed her wide shoulder against the entry and skidded inside, Gerri's hand was on her gun and she was ready for anything.
