Chapter Twenty-One

It had taken all day for Angus to be interviewed by Metro, and Nari yawned widely while waiting in her new rental car to pick him up. It was now almost midnight on Saturday night.

He emerged from the building, so pissed off he looked as if he’d just rammed his head into the car. Opening the door, he slid inside, his muscled bulk shifting the entire vehicle. “Where’s Roscoe?”

Nari’s temper wasn’t far behind his. She pulled away from the curb. “You’re welcome for the ride.”

“Thank you. Where’s my dog?” Angus demanded, his shoulders looking as if they were made of solid rock.

“He’s at my apartment, pacing and confused,” Nari said, reaching into the back for a fast-food bag. “Figured you’d be hungry. For now, how strong is the case against you? All Agent Fields would tell me was that you might be arrested and I could go to prison as an accomplice after the fact for providing a false alibi, although it isn’t false.”

Angus rested his head back and his shoulders lowered as he obviously took a moment to try to relax. “Honestly? I wasn’t arrested because they’re still trying to build a case, and they don’t want me to hire a lawyer. All of the evidence is circumstantial, but it isn’t bad as a case. A good prosecutor might be able to make it stick. If they find an ounce of physical evidence, I’m probably screwed.” He groaned. “Plus, it’s a race right now to see who gets to me first—the HDD or Metro. They both want to arrest me and will the second they have enough evidence.”

Nari drove up the interstate. “Do you think the killer intended this consequence? Or is it just that he’s after you, after us, and this is a result of the HDD and now Metro both being pissed at you?” At all of them, actually.

“Dunno.” Angus bit into a burger, his shoulders too wide for the seat of the compact. “How much trouble are you going to get into for being with me?”

“None.” She switched lanes and sped up. Oh, she was probably going to get fired. But for now, they had a serial killer watching them, a bomber/shooter trying to take out Angus and maybe her, and she couldn’t think how leaving Angus to fight all this alone would help anything. “Brigid acquired new phones for us and they’re in the back seat. We had lunch together while waiting for word on whether or not you were arrested.” Thank goodness he hadn’t been. Yet.

He glanced into the back seat. “Already programmed?”

“Yeah. Numbers, contacts, everything. She’s good at what she does.” Nari drove faster and headed for the exit to her apartment.

Angus reached for another burger in the bag. “Did you two have protection?”

“Yeah. There’s an HDD detail on her. I refused one, considering I planned to help you.” Nari tried for a light tone but definitely failed. No doubt Quan or Opal would find out, and she’d be in for a lecture, a transfer, or termination.
