Sam wished she could hear the other half of this conversation. She could only put a reassuring hand on his arm and wait for the call to end.
“I’m not blaming him. I…I had just hoped we had that problem dealt with last year.”
She could hear Xander’s muffled voice on the phone but couldn’t make out the words.
“We’ll be there in a couple hours. We were about to leave when you called. Okay. I’ll see you shortly.”
At that, Brody disconnected the phone and flopped onto the bed. Sam sat down beside him. “What happened? Is everyone okay?”
“For now,” Brody said. “Xander says that the local news has reported the discovery of human remains at the site of a new resort being built. On the land my parents used to own.”
Sam let his words sink in. “Is it…him?”
Brody nodded his head and took her hand in his. “It has to be, although I’m sure it will take the lab quite a while to confirm an identity. I was hoping this day would never come, but I’m pretty certain someone has finally unearthed the body of Tommy Wilder.”
