Chapter 13

Both Gage and Alexander were scheduled to meet at an adjunct lab in Albuquerque where they sent overflow cases. Alexander had to bring the evidence, and Gage agreed to stay and help process it. He’d been sitting outside the lab waiting for ten minutes when Alexander finally drove up.

He slid his sunglasses on to hide how he felt from the agent. Melody had pissed him off, but he also didn’t like her talking to Alexander. Would she wiggle right up to the agent, use her body to get the answers he’d been unable to give her? Or would she blast the ATF in the newspaper as well? “Did you get everything you needed?”

Alexander laughed. “I just talked to her for a minute. Gave her enough information to keep her from getting angry, then left. I did tell her to stop screwing with you for information.”

Damn, now he would look like he’d tried to cover up for his fire house and her poor report, by sleeping with her. “It wasn’t what you think.”

“I don’t care what you do in your time off. What and who you do is none of my business, but remember that list you’re going to put together? She might be on it. The person you piss off with the stories you’re going to feed her…the stories that are supposed to draw this person out…could be her.”

“I know it’s possible, yet I also know it’s not. She hates the idea of the resort going in and this is only helping the resort. She’s crazy and everything about her just gets me going, but there’s also something about her…”

“Opposites do sometimes attract, but keep that until after the investigation. I need your head in the game, all jokes aside.”

He shook his head and sighed at her dick accusation. He shouldn’t be pissed about that, but he was. The squad were his brothers, and what had been printed under her name had hurt them all. Her flippant remark had been enough to remind him just what had been between them. It was just something she would’ve said before, when she said she was putting on a show for respect.

“She knows that I told you to work with her. She will be calling you and trying to make it up to you. I’m not your boss, but if her boss doesn’t care if you get hurt, and finds out about you two, it could be the end of your career. Now, let’s go inside. I want to introduce you to Dr. Max Joseph. He’s the chief lab tech here in this office and also the local Medical Examiner.”

“Ah, so he’s busy all the time.” Gage had been worried about offering to stay and help in the lab, since he hadn’t done a thing like that since college, but they were too short-staffed to do anything with it right away. They had agreed to let him run some basic tests as long as Dr. Joseph was there to oversee what he was doing.
