Dressed in Khaki pants and a crisp powder blue button-down shirt, the physically fit man standing on my front porch was either a cop, an insurance salesman, or a spokesperson for a health and wellness company. Hoping to put my foot against an insurance salesman’s ass, I opened the front door a few inches and prepared to send him on his way.
A quick scan of his person revealed a Sig Sauer .40 caliber pistol holstered to his hip. I swallowed against the taste of regret as it rose in my throat. “Evening, officer.”
“Detective,” he snapped back. “Detective Barnes.”
“I didn’t know there was a difference.” My mouth twisted into a half-assed smirk. “What can I do for you, detective?”
He nodded beyond me, toward the living room. “Mind if I come in?”
“As a matter of fact,” I said dryly. “I do.”
I peered toward his unmarked car, which was parked at the curb. The additional antennas, downgraded wheels, and muted bronze color glistening in the evening sun forewarned any savvy would-be criminals that a cop was in their midst. He—and his car—were as inconspicuous as a cock on a wedding cake.
“Do you need directions, or something?” I asked. “You get off the freeway and get twisted around? It’s easy with all the cul-de-sacs around here huh?”
He leaned back and looked at my house number. “Six forty-eight. I’m at the right place.” He gave me a quick look over. “You’re Gordon Pearce, right? Bank robber? Thief? Self-proclaimed weapons expert? Murderer?”
My asshole puckered tight. My face flashed hot. I struggled to maintain my nonchalant stance.
“Think you’ve got the wrong Gordon Pearce,” I said, the words nearly getting tangled in my throat. “I’m an amateur chef. I like planting flowers. I manage carwashes. I murdered a mosquito once. It was in Louisiana, though. I’m guessing that’s out of your jurisdiction.”
He looked me over. “You ought to do stand-up comedy.”
“You ought to go find a real criminal to fuck with, officer. Like I said, you’ve got the wrong Gordon Pearce.”
“I’m a detective,” he huffed. “And, I’ve got the right man, asshole. I need to ask you a few questions about an investigator that’s gone missing. He started nosing around you and your cohorts and just up and fucking vanished. Sound familiar?” He grinned a smug little grin. “We can either do it here, or at the station. I’ll let you pick.”
To convey innocence, I needed to maintain my jovial attitude and appearance. I started to give a smart-assed response. Before I got out my first word, he continued.
“If you choose to go to the station, you’re going in cuffs.” He smirked. “Just thought I’d clarify that.”
I wasn’t going anywhere in cuffs. The .22 caliber silenced Walther tucked into the small of my back at my waistband would make sure of that. I opened the door enough to lead him to believe I was going to offer him inside. Then, I offered him a smile and my departing remarks, instead.
“I’m sorry, detective,” I said in a mock apologetic tone.
