Chapter 88: Secret Location

Sunlight shone through the slit in the curtains covering the window, stirring Waverly awake. She lifted her head and twisted it to relieve pressure from the knot in her neck that she had obtained overnight. Sawyer snored quietly beside her, still in his office chair. His head was resting on the desk and the empty glass and bottle were resting nearby.

Waverly stretched and took a hold of both items. She stood and planted a kiss on Sawyer’s head, then left the office. The glass clanked together as she sleepily entered the kitchen, placing them on counter.

“Hey,” Katia said as she entered the room. She was dressed in her usual kakis and tank-top outfit and had paperwork in her hands.

“Morning,” Waverly answered with a yawn. “What’s that?”

She sighed. “Darren’s autopsy report.”

“And?”

“It’s exactly what we expected,” she replied, not looking up from the page.
