The Murder
Thirteen Years Ago
Friday, October 6
Nashville Zoo at Grassmere
Elysian Fields Road, Nashville, 8:30 p.m.
The zoo was closed.
No one was supposed to be here. Her mother would be furious that she
hadn’t been honest about her plans. This was her mother’s number one rule:
always tell the truth. Never lie to her.
But this time the rules could not stop Lucy Cagle. Not for any reason.
Her mother wasn’t the only one who could uncover the facts in the deepest,
darkest places they were buried. She wasn’t the only one allowed to ignore
the rules when necessary. How many times had she heard her mother say
that some things were worth the sacrifice?
Lucy had decided she would use her senior thesis to prove the apple
never fell too far from the tree. Like mother, like daughter, and all that.
Her mother wanted Lucy to be a doctor like her father, and he was a
great doctor. His work was important, admired . . . noteworthy. But Lucy
wasn’t interested in a medical career. She wanted to be an investigative
reporter, like her famous mother. She wanted to be fearless and
groundbreaking.
Tonight was her big chance.
Lucy shivered. It was oddly cool for an evening so early in October. She
should have brought a sweater or a sweatshirt to pull over her blouse. She’d
worn this low scooped neckline for him. It was impossible not to notice the
way he stared at her chest every time they were together. He was like
twenty-three; he should have gotten over such adolescent fixations by now.
Lucky for her, he hadn’t.
Tonight was the night. He had promised to tell her all his secrets. She
had led him on with the possibility that she would be his girlfriend. At first,
he’d been reluctant. He’d pointed out several times that guys like him didn’t
get girls like her. And she’d said all the right things. Innocently touched him
in all the right places and pretended to be totally obsessed with him. How
many times had she heard her mother say getting the job done wasn’t
always easy or pretty?
If she were honest with herself, she would have to say this had been
kind of easy. He was really handsome. Nicer than she had expected, and he
made her feel things too.
Lucy rubbed at her arms. She had to stay focused. She had him on the
edge now—the point of no return. He wanted her to know him . . . all of
him, including the family secrets he feared would put her off. They had
spent so much time making out . . . had almost gone too far a couple of
times. He couldn’t be in the same place with her without going crazy, he
insisted. She wasn’t exactly unaffected. Which was why she’d had to insist
on many of their rendezvous being in public places like that car wash. Even
then, it hadn’t been easy to ignore those unexpected feelings.
Sacrifice, she repeated silently. This was worth the sacrifice.
