it.”
    “Until Kate wakes up and gives us details about what happened, we have to try and piece together the details on what we already know. I don’t want this person to take off or make another attempt when he realizes she isn’t dead.”
    “Okay, but remember I warned that you weren’t going to like it…” Declan’s chin lifted defiantly. “Kate suspected your ex Nikki of having something to do with it.”
    Jared swallowed. “Why would she think that? You told me she didn’t see the person in her visions but she was almost certain it was a man attacking her.”
    Declan shook his head as though Jared was dense. “No, she didn’t think Nikki attacked her. I never met Nikki; but according to Kate, she outweighs your ex by twenty pounds and she’d be able to take her down in two seconds once her fists of fury were unleashed.”
    Jared’s lips quirked up and he managed a smile. “I have no doubt of that.”
    “But Kate said you worked a case not long ago about a man who hired someone to kill his wife and thought Nikki would’ve known about it. Kate’s theory was that since Nikki is super loaded maybe she paid someone to kill her.” Declan shrugged. “Kate didn’t have any proof, but apparently they had a blow up at a nail salon a couple of weeks ago. I wasn’t sure if Kate actually felt threatened or the fumes from the nail polish had gone to her brain.”
    Jared turned away from Declan to think, without having to look at his smug face, and considered the possibility of Nikki being involved. She was many things, but she wasn’t a killer. If she blamed Kate for the demise of their relationship, Nikki wouldn’t do something that would bite her in the ass later; she’d go for a subtler way.
    “We won’t rule Nikki out, but I don’t feel like it fits. Besides, if she hired someone, it’s unlikely a hit man would stab the victim and leave her for dead. He would’ve used a gun and made sure the job was done.” Involuntarily, he shuddered. “Was there anyone else?”
    “I’m not sure what you know, but Kate has been looking for a missing teen from South Jersey…”
    Jared interrupted him. “Yes, I know. I looked into it before she left for Wildwood. The girl’s name is Kendall McDuffy and Kate found her working as a waitress at a diner. She called me to ask for advice on how to convince the girl to return home to her mom.”
    “Kendall was being abused by her stepfather; it was the reason she ran away. Kate urged Kendall to come forward and tell her mom about what had been going on. The stepfather’s name is Barry Franks. Since we know how Kate loves to speak first and think later, she got in Barry’s face and swore he’d have to get through her before he ever laid his hands on Kendall again. Barry threatened to kill Kate before getting hauled off in handcuffs.” Declan let out a shaky breath. “Dude, I’m glad you’re back around to take your crazy girl off my hands. My blood pressure has never been higher since you broke up with her.”
    Jared swallowed down his retort. He’d try to keep the peace with Declan for Kate’s sake. “Barry was arrested yesterday though. Even if they didn’t hold him overnight, which is highly doubtful, he would’ve never had enough time to break into Kate’s house and attack her.”
    “That’s all I got. But maybe the cops will uncover something at the house that’ll lead to an arrest.”
    Jared nodded absently. His gut twisted at the idea and he questioned himself why the statement bothered him. If he was honest with himself, it was because he wanted to find the person before anyone else. He wanted to be the one to exact justice, to make sure whoever was responsible would never pose a threat to Kate again.

    “What do you mean you’re not going to tell me?” Kate’s face fell. It was clear she wouldn’t remember who tried to kill her despite Rose revealing his identity, but for Kate’s own personal satisfaction, she wanted to know
