Excerpt:
The interior
of the box is as uneventful as the rest; a crushed blue velvet lining which is
surprisingly dry considering it has been underwater this entire time. In the
center, a single capped vial rolls around as I try to keep the box from shaking
in my hands with little success. Its contents are a mystery to me, as there is
no label to indicate what it might hold, though I already have the answer to
all the questions racing in my mind. This is what killed you. I flick
the vial out of the way so I can get a clearer view of the only other object
inside, one much easier to distinguish. The petals are wilted, and the stem
looks like it had been pummeled by a strong hand, but I recognize the flower
with certainty. “A poppy,” I say to the others.
“What does
it mean?” Ally asks. Her shoulders hike up and she rubs at opposite elbows as
she struggles to make sense of what I found.
Daxon inches
closer until his hip rests against mine and my heart skips a few beats in
response. I slam the lid of the box shut, tucking it under my arm so the metal
nestles close to my body. From deep inside, I hear the clinging of the vial as
it hits the sides. “I was right,” I say. “A heart attack didn’t kill the shop
owner, and whoever is responsible wanted to make sure no one found the
evidence. Makes sense to dump this here, no one would think to search the
river. No one even goes into it.”
The two of
them exchange uncomfortable glances then Daxon says, “So, what do we do with it
now?”
“Take it to
the police, obviously,” Ally answers.
I speak
before I have the chance to change my mind. “No,” I say. “We have to find out
what’s in the vial before we tell anyone about it. She’s counting on me, and I
won’t let her down.”
Aggravation
passes Daxon’s blue eyes moments before he stalks away. I don’t have the heart
to tell him he’s counting on me too, he simply doesn’t know it yet.
