  “Are you sure you’re okay.” He scrutinized her face, searching for any sign she might break down.

  Wiping her cheeks dry, she peered at her plastic ring and grinned. “I’m better than okay. I’ve got my life back.” She tilted her head up, her green eyes shining. “Thank you.”

  He kissed her, savoring her soft lips and committing the moment to memory.

  “Hey, guys.” Colin’s serious tone caught Bobby’s attention. “Local PD is running the sniper’s fingerprints, but I doubt they’ll find anything. The guy was a professional. Nothing in his wallet except for this.” He held up a folded paper.

  Bobby reached for it and opened what he then realized was a photo with numbers neatly penned across the top. Next to him, Siobhan gasped.

  “That’s me and John at the Christmas fundraiser last year.” She pointed to the picture. “And that’s John’s cell number.”

  Unease fluttered in Bobby’s gut, but he pushed it down. “It’s all right. We got the bastard. You’re not in danger anymore.”

  He gave the evidence back Colin, who turned to show it to the rest of the team. Bobby forced a smile while his mind worked the implications of the photograph. The shooting hadn’t been random, and either Siobhan or her dead boyfriend had been the target. Probably the boyfriend since his number had been the one scrawled on the picture. But he couldn’t be certain.

  Tightening his arm around her waist, he snugged her closer. “You hanging in there?”

  “Yep.” She twisted in his embrace to look up at him. “I know you’ll worry till they get answers.”

  “Local and state cops will catch the case. If not, the FBI will figure it out.”

  “Well, whatever happens…stay with me?”

  He kissed her again, a promise to keep her safe. “Sweetheart, I’ll keep you forever in my sights.”
