Chapter Twelve

I move toward the back deck, but I don’t get far before Officer Andrews says, “Whoa. I don’t think so, Ashwell. You are not going inside that house. I’ve overlooked a lot, but I’m not letting this slide.”

Overlooked what exactly? He watches me like a hawk and calls me out on everything. “I don’t think this place is even locked up,” I say, more to Mitchell than Officer Andrews.

“There’s a dead body in there. I can feel it.” It says a lot that feeling dead bodies is a thing now. That’s not exactly a sense I’d been hoping to expand upon, yet here I am. I sniffed out two dead bodies better than Harry did.

“Do you seriously let her get away with this? All because you’re dating her?” Officer Andrews asks, and that’s about the last straw I can take.

“Unlike you, Mitchell is not an idiot. He doesn’t dismiss a lead, especially one this huge. And whether or not Mitchell and I are dating is no concern of yours. You should spend a little more time worrying about your failing marriage. Keep your pointy nose out of my personal life.”

He steps toward me, but Mitchell places his hand on his chest to stop him. Officer Andrews quickly swats it away. “You never showed me the same curtesy, Ashwell. I don’t owe you anything.”

“Don’t—”

I hold up my hand to stop Mitchell. “He’s right. This one’s on me.” I inhale deeply. “You’re right, Officer. I was out of line when I read you against your will. I understand why you’ve never forgiven me for that despite the times I’ve helped you out. And I’m sorry. I invaded your privacy, and I shouldn’t have. You have my apologies for that.” I stress the last word. “But I will not apologize for following the leads my abilities give me. This is how I work. It’s how I save people. If you have a problem with that, then it’s something you’re going to have to learn to deal with because that’s on you.”

“Seriously, how can you hold such a grudge after all she’s done for you,” Mitchell asks him.

Officer Andrews narrows his eyes at me. “You told him, didn’t you? The one time I actually came to you for help, and you couldn’t keep your mouth shut. You ran off to tell your boyfriend.”

I know Mitchell was trying to help, but he just made things so much worse. “You know what, it doesn’t matter. Nothing I do matters because you’re always going to hate me. You hate what I can do because it makes me a better detective than you’ll ever be.” I whip my arm out in the direction of the sliding glass door. “I know there’s a body in that kitchen, just like I know there’s a body in the yard there. You can continue to resent me for having a gift I never asked for, but if you ignore what I’m saying now, you’re the one who’s going to look like
