Chapter 253: Chapter 253

NT. - CONGRESSMAN BARNES'S HOUSE - NIGHT

Ray paced the short space outside the panic room while Kinsey spoke with Officer Candace Mills. Mills and her partner, Blake Purcell, had just arrived and cleared the room of all but the congressman's security detail and the irritated Tommy Binks.

"No crime scene," the tall, skinny tech said.

Ray shrugged, thinking how silly he looked in his booties and white coverall with nothing to investigate. "I had a look at the body," she said. "Not much, enough to guess at blunt force trauma as the COD." Since she couldn't see his death, Ray could only assume the congressman had been a paranormal, not as shocking a discovery to her as it would have been a few months ago. At this point, she honestly wondered if anyone of import she had encountered wasn't part vampir or bheast or dervish.

How blasé. Victoria would love it.
