This evening, my patrol car’s tucked into a spot off the road. Strategically placed facing the downward slope of a hill where drivers always forget to watch their speed. So far I’ve written three tickets. Almost enough to fill the quota the department denies it has for the day. Overall, an uneventful afternoon and evening for me.

For Chad’s brother, today was very eventful. I received the call around dinnertime that he was located hiding out at his parents’ house and served with the order forbidding him from contacting Bree again. It sounded like the parents weren’t too pleased to find out what their other son had been up to. And I hope that’s the last we hear from the Joseph brothers until the court case proceeds.

The deafening roar of an engine makes me sit up. Lucky me. Maybe I’ll write a fourth ticket before sunset.

When I realize the noise belongs to Marcel’s Harley, I push open my door and step out.

He shuts the bike down and swaggers over. Running his gaze over my car and radar gun, his mouth quirks. “You ever feel like a douche sitting here waiting for speeding citizens to write up?” he asks.

The answer is actually yes, but I’m not going to admit that to him. “Are you here for a reason?”

He drops the attitude. “Just left Bree’s place.”

“Everything okay?”

“She figured it out within five seconds, you know.”

“Great,” I mutter, surprised I haven’t received a pissed-off text from her.

“Thanks for warning me about the guard dog.”

I snort, realizing it never occurred to me. “We just got her last night. Did she try to eat you?” I ask, trying not to sound too hopeful.

He rolls his eyes. “No. She’s good, though. Real protective of Bree already.”

“Good.”

“One thing did happen.” He slips his hand inside his leather vest and pulls out a scrap of paper. “This car drove by while we were talking outside. Seemed to pay a lot of attention to the house.”

“She recognize it?”

“No. I took her for a short ride to see if it belonged somewhere in the neighborhood—”

“Wait. You did what?”

“Relax. It’s not like I tucked her in and read her a bedtime story. Don’t worry, I saved that for you,” he answers in the cockiest way possible.

“How do you not get punched in the mouth on a regular basis?”

His eyes widen and he touches his chest. “Most people think I’m charming.”

“Yeah, right.”

“Can I finish?” he asks.

When I don’t object, he continues. “The car was on the street again when we came back. I’m almost positive it was the same vehicle.” He hands over the scrap of paper. “It’s probably nothing, but figured you’d want to run the plate.”

I’m impressed by his quick thinking, but keep that thought to myself because I doubt he cares one way or another about my opinion. “Thanks.”

“No problem.” He hesitates for a second. “The car seemed to freak her out. I’d go back, but I need to be somewhere tonight.”

No doubt a drug deal or something else I’d rather not know about.
