“I’ve got you now,” Callum said to the man on the floor. Finally.

Kerry approached.

“That’s him,” Callum said. “That’s the man Evie saw hit Nate Blurge over the head.”

Kerry glanced at him sharply. “You’re certain?”

“As certain as I can be. He’s the same build and his hair is the same.”

She nodded to two officers, who knelt down and searched the man, procuring a driver’s license and handing it to Kerry.

“Billy Jansen,” she said. “Run this by Motor Vehicle.”

One of the officers left with the license.

Moments later the officer returned with the license and announced the plate number was a match.

“Take him to the station,” Kerry said to the other officer.

The officer helped Billy to his feet and cuffed him, reading him his rights.

“The redhead over there is his wife,” Callum said, pointing to the woman next to Hazel who watched Billy with no small amount of apprehension.

“We’ll need to talk to her.”

“I’ll tell her.”

Callum walked over to Hazel and the redhead.

“Are you all right?” he asked Hazel.

“Yes, thanks to you.” She rose up on her toes and kissed him, quick and grateful.

“You’re welcome.” Nothing felt better than that.

Facing the redhead, he said, “The police are going to want to talk to you.”

“Why? They’re doing me a favor taking him away.”

“You’re his wife. You can provide information they’ll need to prosecute him and testify against him if you want to.”

“How long will he be in jail?”

She was obviously worried he’d get out and come after her.

“If he gets convicted of murder, he’ll be in prison for the rest of his life. What’s your name?”

“Tina Jansen.”

“What can you tell police about Nate Blurge’s murder?”

“Plenty. He flirted with me the same way that nice man tonight did and ended up dead. Billy wasn’t home when Nate was killed and Billy bragged about getting rid of him. He even threatened me that he’d kill every man I flirted with.”

“Your testimony will only help. I can assure you he’ll be put away for a long time.” Callum couldn’t believe that some killers talked about what they had done.

Tina smiled big. “Good riddance. I can finally divorce him without worrying he’ll kill me, too.”

Callum didn’t doubt that. He was glad the man would be off the streets, but he still had one more problem to take care of before he could be assured of Hazel’s safety.
