Chapter 10 - Violet

I was mortified the following morning, knowing that I had done what I said I wasn’t going to do and, even more so, that I had to see him at work in a few hours. I couldn’t believe the situation I had put myself in.

I’d been embarrassed by my drunkenness the night before plenty of times. We all had. This wasn’t that. I hadn’t been drunk enough to make bad decisions. I couldn’t blame it on the wine. Sure, I was a lightweight, but I wasn’t that much of a lightweight.

Yet somehow, after a nice meal and a glass of wine, I had made this bad decision.

He’s just that good-looking, I reminded myself. I wasn’t drunk on the wine; I was drunk on him. That was the problem. He was fun and comfortable to be around, and I couldn’t get over his smile. And god, that body—no wonder I melted like butter when he got close.

Alright, so I had one slip-up. It was a big one, but I didn’t need to beat myself up about it. I could be an adult and learn from my mistakes. No more drinking around him, and no more restaurant meals after dark. Simple as that. Those were rules I could get behind and follow, right? We’d eaten plenty of meals in the car during stake-outs. That was just part of the job. I could keep those casual enough. There was nothing sexy or romantic about Chinese food scattered along a dashboard while we waited for a criminal to reveal himself.

Speaking of Skeet Rowe, he was beginning to be a pain in my behind. My cop senses told me there was something that I was missing. He was definitely laundering money, he was certainly up to something, he was just extremely good at covering his tracks. We just needed to keep following him, keep on trucking on with the case until we found something. There had to be something. I could almost feel that we were on the verge of finding out what it was.

I had almost considered bugging his office, though I couldn’t figure out how we would plant a bug in a bank, a highly secure facility. Not only that, but it was likely that we wouldn’t hear anything anyway. It would all be done on his computer. Unless we could get access to everything he did on the computer, then we wouldn’t be able find anything out. And while I had my helpful connections, I didn’t know that any of them would be able to hack into a computer at the bank.

I just needed to figure out how to dig up some dirt on this guy. I was beginning to see the limitations of being a private eye. You didn’t have the law to back you up. You were running solo. No team, no legal connections, nothing. All I had to go on were the interviews I’d been able to squeeze out of people, which didn’t give me much
