“Thanks, Max.” Andi hung up the phone and Cole stepped towards her.

He planted his hands at his sides. Touching her at work was out of the question—he’d had to tell himself that about a thousand times in the two hours they’d been at the station. So far it’d been working, but Cole was dying to grab and kiss her into oblivion. To touch her, make love to her again. Hold her like he had the night before.

Their eyes met and she reddened. It was adorable the way a blush lit up the freckles across the bridge of her nose, but he admired the way she looked at him head on, for once, not glancing away. “Well?” he prompted.

Her discomfort at breakfast had led to a very silent ride to work. Andi hadn’t said one word to him after she’d come out of Ethan’s school. Was she going to ignore him all day?

Cole wasn’t about to let the subject drop. And he wasn’t about to let her get away from him now that he’d had her. He was going to be in her bed tonight—and every night—until they got Maldonado. He’d worry about after later.

“That was Max, from the ME’s office. The blood at the Reynolds’ was a match for the fourth, unknown type at the scene of the warehouse.”

“Of course it was,” Cole said.

Andi nodded and one corner of her mouth lifted. “Not often you’re wrong, huh, Agent Lucas?”

Whenever she called him Agent Lucas in that tone of voice, he wanted to laugh. It was endearing, not distancing.

Cole shook his head, grinning. “You doubted me? I’m hurt.” He clutched at his chest and she laughed. God, he loved that sound. This was the first time all morning she had some semblance of normal with him. It was a start.

“What now?” she asked

“Well, we’re up to five stolen cars, all used, not abused. Still no idea where the hell he’s staying.” He sighed.

“I’ve thought about that…” Andi said, head tilted to one side.

“Oh yeah?”

“Yeah. There are two or three abandoned buildings not far from the warehouse this all started in. We’ve had to kick people out of them from time to time. I think Kurt and Sully caught a drug case there, too. Last year, someone was cooking meth.”

“Carlo would want to be left alone,” Cole said.

“Right. The place is private. The hotels are all full because of the rodeo. Besides, the three hundred dollars Berto gave him won’t go that far. And I really doubt he headed to the next town over to find a vacancy.”

“I thought about that, too. Bet he’s kicking the shit out of himself for losing the twenty-five K he stole from Caselli.”

Andi grinned. “Poor guy. And it’s not doing a damn thing but sitting in the evidence room. And that nice black Escalade in impound. No wheels for Carlo.”

Cole chuckled. “Caselli’s probably pissed about the cash and the car on principle. It’s not like he’s hurting.”

Wincing, she leant back in her chair. “All that from trading little girls for sex?”

“Among other things.
