Chapter Six

Ronan kept the smile on his aching face as he walked into the station. He’d learned to hide his feelings throughout the long years after his parents’ death. He’d hated the looks of pity thrown his way, and Daire frankly had dour down enough for all the brothers, so Ronan cultivated the carefree whenever he could. The ability served him well this morning.

He’d slept hardly at all, tossing around in his bed, seeing the heartbreaking sadness on Cassidy’s face as she’d reluctantly, yet firmly cut him and Diego off at the knees. Or the balls maybe. His cock had shriveled up at the sight of those damn tears, that’s for sure. Seeing a woman cry, knowing he’d made her cry, was worse than facing down a perp with a gun.

He took a long pull of iced coffee. This morning was going to suck way too much for even caffeine to fix. He had to face Diego and their lieutenant, because he wasn’t going to be able to continue working with the guy. God, it was like being back in high school, moving seats in class to get away from someone who’d pissed you off. He felt stupid, and in hindsight, the whole fiasco was perfectly predictable.

The problem was that the only way to have avoided it was to have given up seeing Cassidy at all after Diego, the dick, had horned in. It would have been the sensible course of action, except when he’d told Diego last night that Cassidy wasn’t merely a conquest, he’d meant it. Right from the start he felt something for her that was different, more than other women.

Now, he’d lost her and the man who was at least fifty percent responsible for it was sitting at his desk, brooding over his own cup of coffee. Ronan put a sneer on his face. Before he could think of a suitable opening line, his phone pinged. Pulling it out, he saw the text. He blinked a few times to make sure he was reading the message right. A string of swears flew out of his mouth as he sped up to Diego.

“We need to get to forensics,” he barked out.

His still-partner looked up at him in surprise. A second later, he was on his feet, following Ronan. “What’s up?”

“Frankie just texted me.” Ronan headed for the elevator without missing a step “There’s trouble with O’Malley’s laptop—netbook—whatever the fuck it is.”

He didn’t say more because he didn’t know any more. They went in silence, although Ronan had put aside any grief over Cassidy in the face of the investigation and figured Diego had done the same. They were professionals, and the job came first. They raced over to Frankie’s station the moment they arrived.

The tech guy looked up at them and blinked behind his glasses. “That was fast.”

“What’s the problem?” Ronan barked out. The computer they’d recovered from O’Malley’s apartment was open, the screen blank.

Frankie gestured toward it. “The thing’s fried.”

“What do you mean?” demanded Diego. “You’ve been digging into the files all week.
