As we pulled away from the curb, my phone buzzed in my coat pocket.
I pulled it out, expecting a call from the hospital or another detective.

“We found the secondary stash under the floorboards of the tool shed,” the message read.
“What is it?” Wyatt asked, slowing the truck down for a red light on High Street.
“Arthur found the rest of the deeds,” I said, my voice barely a whisper.
“They tried to hide them before the police arrived.”
Wyatt reached over and squeezed my hand, his palm warm and reassuring.
