    They showed up when I had no one else, their motives totally obscure. Driven by my need for closure, I find myself inexplicably drawn to them. 
     
     
     
    At the lowest point in my life, they offered me a twisted redemption: revenge. 
     
     
     
    Having them around ignites conflicting emotions within me—familiarity intertwined with so much doubt—and they want nothing more than to keep me. 
     
     
     
    They have the means to my end. But can I trust them? And can I allow myself to stay when their sins remain unspoken, threatening to tear everything apart again?

    When the Captain suggests that Doreen might want to break her boredom spell by looking into an old case, she jumps at the chance. Anything new is always great, and anything that the Captain gives her means she has his permission—which gives her a lot of leeway in getting the information she needs. 
    However, when she realizes the case is about the long-forgotten and unidentified bones of a baby, … she knows this case will hurt in so many ways. Still, the thought of this case remaining unsolved for so many years makes her all that more determined to solve it. 
    However, the more digging she does, the more people try to clamp down on talking to her, as she learns that family members of that little girl are still alive. No one is willing to talk, except one—who dies the morning after … 
    When her case dovetails with another case and an old big-business local family, the gloves are off, and Doreen wades into the mix as always …
