“You should be back by now.” Captain Lattimer’s voice is steady and soft, which may be a bad thing.

“I know, sir,” I say. “I got caught up in an investigation here.”

“Investigation?” His voice tightens. “You’re not authorized to conduct any investigations out there, son.”

“I know that, sir,” I say. “It was a friend of mine from school, murdered in an apparent drug deal. The cops here aren’t too interested in finding the killer of a junkie, but he was my friend.”

Captain Lattimer goes silent for a second. If there’s anything the captain will respond to, it’s friendship. He’s an old-school guy, the sort of cop that believes building relationships is paramount to community safety.

“You’re off the clock,” he says finally. “If you want to do this, you’re doing it on your own dime. Understood?”

“Yes, sir,” I say, relieved.

“And I’m docking your pay for today.”

I grimace. “Yes, sir.”

“Good. Check in soon. You have a week.”

He hangs up the phone and I sigh. I glance down at the time before slipping my phone back into my pocket. It’s night and getting a little chilly, but I don’t really feel it. My mind is still on Cora and this damn case.

I feel like I’m missing something. I don’t understand this place anymore, and I definitely don’t have a relationship with the community anymore. Cora is the only connection I have left, now that Atticus is gone. Sure, I have old friends from school, but I barely know them.

Which is why I’m here. The Great American is starting to get crowded, though I’m still lingering in the parking lot. Mitch went inside a few minutes ago, and I know he’ll be drinking and waiting for me to show.

I don’t feel like going in. I’d rather go to Cora’s place right now and kiss those lips again. I keep thinking about our night together, how fucking good it felt, sunk deep between her legs. She ground herself against my cock, not holding anything back, and the way she came… it was like goddamn magic. It drove me insane. It’s still driving me insane.

I can’t stop thinking about it. I need more, I absolutely have to have more, and I want it right now.

But I have to be patient. There’s still something dark inside of her, a sorrow that’s driving her forward. I could see it in her back at that casino, right after Kristi left. I wanted to kiss her then, tell her it would all be okay, but I don’t know if it really will be.

Truth is, we may never find the asshole that did this to Atticus. I feel like this town has too many fucking secrets, and I’m just trying to scratch at the surface. It’s a goddamn losing battle, but I know I can’t give up.

My captain gave me a week. I need to use this time wisely. And that means I need more information.

I head inside and spot Mitch sitting at the end of the bar again. I join him and he wordlessly nods at me.
