Estrella nodded and said, “Okay.”

“No idea,” Thomas admitted. “But finding out where you are isn’t hard for him.” He then added, “Just a thought, Estrella, but are you sure you want to keep digging into the Glimmering Lake case? Maybe we’re dealing with folks who are way out of our league.”

Estrella chuckled. “Out of our league or not, I’m seeing this through.”
