Chapter Seven

Kurt was beyond mad and edging into fury by the time he made it to the NCIS office. He hadn’t bothered to see if Jess was in. He knew he would be. With his wife away, Jess was in full workaholic mode. Kurt ordered himself to calm down until he got the full story. It didn’t help. Jamison Anders had been spying on Midge, and he wanted to know why. Yes, he’d been given the blackmailing case, but she wasn’t a part of that. He and Jess had already established that—Jess well before him—and the report would reflect it.

He parked next to Anders’ silver Stratus. A check of the license plate confirmed it had been the vehicle at Midge’s house—not that he had any doubt. He’d seen Anders with that leather jacket slung over his shoulder too many times.

Turning his collar up, Kurt stomped through the building snow toward the entrance, blessing Midge’s consideration in allowing him to use her SUV. His car might have made it here, but with the storm getting worse by the second, he couldn’t guarantee it would have made it back to her place. He’d then have been forced to walk, because there was no way he wasn’t going to be with her tonight. Even with the higher profile vehicle, it had still taken him twice as long to reach the Marine Corps base because of the treacherous roads.

Kurt paused for a deep, calming breath. Charging in full bore would only make a bad situation worse. He had to present this as the wronged party, guilt Anders into admitting he’d crossed a line. The door to Anders’ office was open—so was Jess’. He swung in to Anders’, knowing Jess wouldn’t be far behind once he heard the conversation.

“You want to tell me why the fuck you were at my girlfriend’s house?” So much for calm. He stabbed his finger in Anders’ direction. “You tried to push your way into her house.”

Anders leaned backed, wiggling a pen between his fingers. His nose twitched. Kurt recognized an attempt to hide a sneer when he saw it.

“What’s going on?” Jess stepped in beside him. “Why were you at Midge Ellis’s house?”

Anders tossed his pen to the desk and stood. “You gave me a job to do. I was doing it.”

“Midge isn’t part of the blackmailing case,” Kurt told him.

Anders snorted. “How the hell do you know? She’s got you by the balls.” He jerked his chin toward Kurt, then toward Jess. “And you’re fooled with her cutie pie looks and sunshine smile.”

The jerk wasn’t winning points by admitting he’d noticed Midge’s good looks. Anders motioned to his computer monitor. “This isn’t the first time she’s been the focus of an investigation.”

“She’s not the focus of an investigation now,” Kurt shouted.

“She should be.” Anders snickered. “First, you cross paths with her in the club where’s she’s dressed in full regalia—a perfect match to this woman blackmailing servicemembers. Second, she’s keeping company with a Marine who’s gathered himself quite the record.
