Natalie Charles - When No One Is Watching

“Bartlett,” he growled into the phone.

“Lieutenant. It’s Mindy, from CSU. Did I catch you at a bad time?”

Gray glanced at the clock. Eight-thirty. He bolted upright and rubbed his eyes. “No, I was just heading out the door. What’ve you got?”

“We have an ID on that body you found by the Charles last week. The vic’s name is Samantha Watkinson. Sound familiar?”

His mind was a fog. “Not really.”

“She’s a reporter for the Globe. That’s the second Globe reporter who’s been killed in the past year. You remember that Jake Smith turned up dead not too long ago?”

“Any connection?”

“I had Ballistics check the bullets. Same gun, Lieutenant.”

Gray gave a low whistle as the news settled, unsure of what the implications were. Mindy took a breath. “There’s something else. I understand Mia Perez is working with you.”

Word sure traveled quickly. “Yes, she is.”

She hesitated. “She was at the scene last week, right? Were you watching her the entire time?”

He sat up straighter. “What are you asking, Mindy?”

“This sounds crazy. I mean, I’ve worked with Dr. Perez, and she’s always been so professional, but...was she wearing gloves? Did she happen to touch anything at the scene?”

Gray thought back. Of course he’d made Mia put on gloves. He made everyone at the scene wear gloves...right? His gut worked into a knot. “Mindy, just get to the point.”

He heard her take another breath. “I don’t want to get anyone into trouble, but you might want to ask Dr. Perez a few questions.”

“Such as?”

“Such as, why are her fingerprints all over the gun that was used to shoot Samantha Watkinson and Jake Smith?”
