The Procurator Fiscal sat in the least manky of the inspector’s chairs, looking tanned and golden, but her deputy – the one she’d left in charge while she was off basking on a beach somewhere – had taken on the typical Aberdeen mid-winter pallor. Rachael Tulloch: skin so pale it was almost white, her long, curly auburn hair held back in a loose ponytail that she fiddled with while the PF and Steel talked through the list of offences they were going to charge Sean Morrison with.

She was pretty; Logan couldn’t believe he hadn’t noticed before. Not beautiful, but wholesome, Celtic, girl-next-door pretty. She looked up, caught him staring at her, and smiled.

Feeling like a naughty teenager he blushed and looked away.

When they were finished, Rachael hung back, letting Steel and the PF march on ahead. ‘So,’ she said, undoing her hair, letting the curls fall across her shoulders and down her back, ‘I hear you caught Sean pretty much single handed.’ Logan demurred, but she was having none of it. ‘Not to mention solving all those burglaries.’ A smile played across her lips, then she rolled her eyes, putting on a cheesy American accent, ‘Is there anything you can’t do?’

‘I… well…’ Suddenly Logan was having difficulty stringing two words together.

‘You know,’ taking a deep breath, ‘I’m sure I still owe you a drink. From before.’ Resting her fingertips against his arm.

‘Ah, well…’ and then he thought of Jackie and Rennie – he doesn’t suspect a thing – ‘Now you come to mention it, I do remember something about a large gin and tonic.’

‘When?’

‘Er … tonight?’

‘Tonight. Seven o’clock, Ferry Hill House Hotel, the bar, not the lounge. Don’t be late.’ Rachael grinned, turned, and hurried after the Procurator Fiscal. She only looked back twice.
