Chapter 19

As Benny headed back north on I-95, he spotted what looked like an unmarked police car behind him. Just as he pulled his eyes down toward the speedometer to see how fast he was going, the blue lights flashed. He had only been going ten miles per hour over the limit.

Benny steered the car to the side of the road and waited patiently for the officer to emerge from the vehicle. The door to the police car opened, and Jessica Flynn got out. Benny would have rather received a ticket than the interrogation he was about to endure.

“Can I see your license and registration?”

“Really?”

“No, I’m just kidding. Unlock the passenger door and let me in.”

It was already unlocked, so Benny leaned over, grabbed the door handle, and pushed the door open for her.

“What a gentleman,” Jessica said.

“Have you been following me again?”

“Unfortunately, that was the detail I was assigned this morning. I don’t like it anymore than you do. Don’t you think I’d rather be pursuing my own leads instead of following you around as you play catch-up?”

“I’m not playing catch-up. I’m just trying to figure out what you guys missed.”

“And what have we missed?”

“For starters, did you know that Stephanie met Geraldo?” Benny joked.

“Yeah, Mrs. Mitchell showed me that picture, too.”

“Did she ask to have her picture made with you?”

“Get over yourself.”

Jessica glanced in the back seat and saw the case of Laguna Lager.

“You took one of those cases too?”

“They almost forced it on me.”

“It’s actually pretty darn good.”

“You took one?”

“I don’t think they were going to let me leave without it.” She batted her eyelashes and tried to feign innocence. “I’m not as much of a goody two-shoes as you might think,” Jessica said as she took her fingernail and ran it across Benny’s leg.

“Stop it,” Benny said as he pushed her hand away. He repositioned himself in his seat and pulled his shirt down as he did not want her to see what she was doing to him.

“Would you rather we got a room at The Breakers?”

“Very funny.”

“Are you surprised I know about that?”

“I would be surprised if you didn’t. It was all over the news.”

“I was too young to see that,” Jessica said, smiling coyly. “I’m even a few years younger than Rachael.” She touched him again. “I know you like them young.”

Benny exploded. “Get out of the goddamn car!”

“Tah tah,” Jessica said, opening the door. Before walking back to her car, she leaned in the door and whispered, “There’s something happening in your pants. Just let me know if you need help with that later.” With that, she strutted back to her car as Benny watched her every move in the rearview mirror.

Benny watched her pull out first and waited a good two or three minutes before he headed out. He didn’t want to pass her on the road. It was rare that Benny let someone get under his skin, but she had done just that.

He tried not to think about her, but he did, the entire way back to the hotel.
