25.

THAT WAS the problem with being a street-level cop. You were expected to carry out your orders without any explanation as to why.

You were the one who had to set up the roadblock. You were the one who had to allay public fears. You were the one on the front line. All while the top brass never told you a bean about what was going on. It was described as on a “need to know basis.”

Well, Stevens was putting his life on the line and he thought that was a pretty good reason to need to know. Another car pulled up to the roadblock he and Rosenstein had set up on the outskirts of town.

“Is there a problem, officer?” a single middle-aged lady in a small car said.

With the lack of information at the officer’s disposal, he had to resort to the old standbys.

“Nothing you need concern yourself with, Miss,” Stevens said.

Wow, this chick had an awesome rack. The kind that made you sit up and beg for more.

“I have my license right here,” the lady said, leaning over to fetch her wallet from the passenger seat.

The officer took the time to admire her delicious curves and short skirt that rode up her shapely legs. He jabbed the brim of his hat up with a thumb. Dear, oh dear.

Being on traffic cop duty did have its perks. He diverted his eyes as she straightened up and handed him her credentials.

“Everything looks to be in good order, Tabitha,” Stevens said, reading the name on her license. “May I ask what your plans are today?”

“I’m going to see my mom. Her house is out of town.”

Stevens licked his lips and thought about turning on the charm. His confidence faltered.

“You take care of yourself, Tabitha,” he said. “Drive safe now.”

“I will, officer.”

Had there been a wink? Or had he imagined it? He sighed as he turned to Rosenstein and waved his arm. His partner eased up as the little lady took her vehicle out of his life.

“There she goes, Rosenstein,” Stevens said.

“Who?”

“The girl of my dreams. Well, daydreams anyway.”

“I’m sure your missus will be pleased to hear that,” Rosenstein said flatly.

“She’s not pleased to hear anything these days. Any word from HQ?”

“Nothing. We’re meant to sit here and look pretty.”

Stevens checked his watch.

“Somebody’s supposed to relieve us,” he said. “I’ve got leave beginning after this shift.”

“I got the feeling no one’s relieving us today. Everybody’s out.”

“Everybody? We didn’t have this much coverage when the Madison girl went missing.”

“I guess somebody more important got kidnapped this time.”

“This is just great.” Stevens lashed out, kicking the police cruiser door shut. “I booked a nice little boat to go fishing this weekend. If I don’t turn up, they’ll give it to someone else.”

“Heads up. Looks like our next customer’s on the way.”

The SUV’s brakes squealed as it pulled up. A family, no doubt. On their holidays, like Stevens was meant to be right now.

Still irritated, he rapped unnecessarily hard on the window.

“Wind your window down, please,” he said.
