“What in hell is going on?” Pence is leaning on the door to my office at headquarters, drinking coffee from one of his special order cobalt-blue coffee mugs. “Did you just go to the ICAC office and give Manny and his team a little lecture on stress management? Who gave you permission to do that?”

I don’t bother asking how he knows this. Gossip moves through a police department faster than a speeding bullet.

“I don’t need permission. It’s part of my job to identify stressed employees before they fall apart.”

Pence steps into my office and closes the door.

“Manny’s teammates don’t work for me. So they got a little free advice? No big deal. What I really need to know is about Manny. Is he falling apart? Do I have to replace him? I don’t want to do that, but I will if I have to.”

“He will if he doesn’t get some sleep and a few days off. He’s exhausted. I’ve told him that. But it doesn’t mean much coming from me. I’m not his boss. It would be a lot more meaningful if it came from you.”

“That’s all? Not a problem.” He looks at his watch. “He’s coming in for a press briefing. I promised the media that he would be here to answer questions. He can go home after that. Take a few days off.”

“He’s sleep deprived. If you put him in front of the press, chances are he’ll embarrass himself. And you.” Pence’s right eye starts to twitch.

“Dr. Meyerhoff, there’s something you need to understand. Whatever you may think about me, I care deeply about the welfare of my officers.” He starts to leave and turns back again. “By the way, do you or your boyfriend have any idea where JoAnn Julliette has gone? We’ve been calling her for days and she doesn’t answer her telephone. I sent a unit to her commune. Apparently she’s decided that now, right in the middle of our investigation into her daughter’s murder, would be a fine time to go to a spa. Makes you wonder, doesn’t it?”
