a specific target, then he might’ve thought to add shrapnel to inflict the most damage, but he didn’t.”
    Brady looked up from a small piece of wood and a knife in his hands. A hyper guy, he often whittled to keep calm. “Setting a bomb is a pretty drastic action just to kill one or two people. I can think of many less risky ways to kill someone.”
    Jake faced Skyler. “I’m assuming you’ll look at security videos and request street cam, business and MAX footage. Not just for today but earlier on.”
    She nodded. “Though I’d rather not involve the media in this, I’ll also have them issue a plea to the public for any pictures or videos taken of the targeted seating section for our review. And we’ll get a team on interviewing ticket holders.” She grabbed her pen. “What about potential suspects?”
    â€œThe obvious one is a stadium employee,” Archer said, his intense focus on Skyler. “And event crews or even concessions company staff. They’d have access and if they were unhappy with their work they’d have a motive, too.”
    â€œSame with delivery people,” Jake tossed out. “Or recycling company employees who pick up green products.”
    Skyler’s pen raced across the paper.
    Cash grinned. “And despite what Otto may think, we also can’t rule out the players and coaches. Though I suspect Otto wouldn’t mind if we limited our inquiries to the opposing team.”
    Brady cleared his throat and all eyes turned to him. “Don’t forget to add Ms. Curry and Otto.”
    â€œAre you honestly liking them for this?” Cash asked. “I mean, we have no motive for her wanting to do this.”
    Brady met Cash’s gaze. “You haven’t been in law enforcement all that long, but we all know—”
    â€œThe person who reports the crime—” Skyler finished writing and looked up “—is always a suspect until we can prove otherwise. And that includes finding the motive you’re speaking of.”
    â€œI’m not sure this counts on the motive thing,” Darcie said, “but Krista’s wearing designer clothes. Not something she could afford on a preschool teacher’s salary. And I didn’t see a wedding ring so there’s not likely a spouse to pay for the clothes.”
    â€œShe still could be married,” Archer said.
    The thought left Cash more unsettled than he wanted to think about.
    â€œOr divorced. Or widowed,” Jake added.
    â€œEasy enough to find out. I’ll ask.” Skyler stepped outside. Cash saw Krista’s shoulders go up in a defensive posture at the question.
    Was she hiding an involvement in the bombing, or did she simply hate personal questions?
    Skyler returned. “Widowed. Four years ago.”
    Cash sighed, drawing Jake’s attention so Cash quickly moved on. “If we’re looking at Krista for this, then we should also look into the woman who incited the crowd. I can check a stadium diagram for her seat number. It may not lead anywhere if she was dodging the rain, but it’s worth a shot.”
    â€œOnce you locate the number, I’ll make it a priority to find her.” Skyler looked around the group. “Any other suggestions or ideas?”
    No one spoke.
    â€œOkay, then.” Skyler tucked her notebook in her backpack. “As Jake said, I’ll be teaming up with the city. We’ll both assign considerable resources to the investigation, but with the number of people to be interviewed, it would be great if everyone volunteered time to help.”
    â€œI’m game.” Brady hopped to his feet.
    The others added their agreement.
    â€œGreat,” Skyler said. “If you’ll email your schedules to me, I’ll work you in the rotation. And thanks for the help.”
    â€œThat all?” Brady was clearly itching to get moving. Cash was surprised it had taken him
