Chapter Seventeen

Claudia’s morning was only slightly busy, and she spent part of it in meetings with the FBI and police. She barely held onto her patience during them, thanks to Jenner pushing for prosecution and investigation of Kamari, a former agent and member of Sam’s pack.

The FBI had no desire to arrest or investigate her, but they were more than curious about Jenner himself, as well as a few of the cops who worked for the department, both alive and dead.

“We do have some proof that Jericho was the serial killer we were looking for,” the agent in charge told them, his black eyes gleaming with anger. “We’ll pursue him should he resurface, but honestly, if he’s dead, we won’t be interested in going after his killer.”

“I wonder what your boss would say to that,” Jenner snarled.

“Good riddance to bad rubbish, but he’d never own it,” the man said coldly. “We’re also investigating you and the D.A. for obstruction of justice.”

“Me?” Jenner demanded, confusion on his face and Claudia almost felt sorry for him.

“We have enough on him already to make a case for accessory in Bradley, Jericho, and Collier’s cases.”

“What kind of proof?” Jenner asked, glaring at the man from his chair next to the agent.

Claudia was eager to hear this. However, she was surprised.

“We have proof the D.A. was involved in laundering money for a drug cartel called Shadow. An investigation that has ties to both Jericho and Bradley. We also have some evidence of collusion and conspiracy to commit murder.”

“The D.A. was involved in all this?” Claudia asked carefully.

“Yes,” the agent told her, his eyes filling with determination. “We have proof that Jericho killed that girl in the club, not the club owner the D.A. is going to try. We’ll be passing that along to the State’s Attorney.”

Looked like Mallory might be off the hook.

“I want to see that proof,” Jenner thundered.

“Agent Moreau, I wasn’t aware of this,” Claudia said evenly as she leaned back in her chair. “You didn’t mention you’d found anything useful to your investigation.”

“We didn’t plan to because there are myriad signs of corruption in law enforcement in this town.”

“Well, I’m not in law enforcement, and I don’t interfere in police business to avoid any signs of impropriety. However, if you have proof of wrong-doing, I suggest you pursue it.”

“We are doing just that, and I can promise you, Mayor, we’ll be making arrests soon.”

She lifted her brows and gave Jenner a look. “Will my police chief be one of them?”

“Perhaps,” he said. “We’ll see. Now, if you two will excuse me, I have to head back to my hotel.”

Claudia and Jenner rose as the agent stood. He tipped his head to her and turned on his heel and marched from the office.

“I hope your dear cousin isn’t one of those involved in collusion, conspiracy to aid and abet serial killers, and money laundering,” Claudia said quietly. “I also hope you aren’t on that list because then we’d have to find a replacement for you both as a cop and on the Coalition.
