Jake wants to put the last several months behind him and get everything back to abnormal. Billie is pondering what to do with her newfound wealth and doesn't want it to impact her relationship with her fellow officers and detectives but even Jake jokingly gives her an invoice for his expenditures while bringing her home. They both just want things to get back to abnormal. While Jake was in Raleigh assisting Detective William Hitchens in solving a case, a poem was sent to his office by someone calling himself the Poet Laureate. The poem supposedly gave Jake the chance to solve the riddle and save the potential victim. What Jake didn't know was if there really was a victim and where they were buried.
