…twelve months later

A knock at my door has me lifting my head and grinding my teeth at the interruption. That anger is put aside when I see the captain at my door. “Captain,” I say in greeting. “What can I do for you?”

He walks in and takes a seat. From the look on his face, I know it’s not going to be good. “I have some news,” he tells me.

“Okay.” His demeanor is scaring me. I begin to think that something has happened to Mom and Dad but if it were in regard to them, Aunt Bec would have called me.

“It’s Vlahos,” he says, his tone unnerving.

“What about the asshole?” His lawyer has been a douchebag this last twelve months. He’s tried to have the charges dismissed multiple times but I have an ironclad case, and each time the DA and I get their motion for dismissal denied.

“He escaped.”

“What the fuck,” I shout. “How the fuck did that happen?”

“He was taken to hospital with suspected appendicitis and with the help of his associates on the outside, he escaped. He killed two officers and severely injured a nurse.”

“Fuck me.” Rubbing my forehead in frustration, I glance up and from the look on his face I can tell there’s more. “Just spit the rest out.”

“Creed Dawson was found dead in his cell a few moments ago.”

“Fuck me,” I groan, “and let me guess, it looks like a suicide but you and I both know it’s not.”

“Not this time, Cox. He was definitely murdered.” He’s still shuffling and I just know there’s more. I wish he’d just spit to out.

“Why do I feel like there’s more?”

“Because there is,” he confirms.

“Shit comes in threes,” I tell him, “What’s the third shitastic news you have for me?”

“A note was found near Dawson’s body. It was addressed to you and let’s just say, it’s very concerning.”

“What did it say?”

“It said, ‘Rats like to squeal. You and that bitch are going down.’”

“What bitch?” But as soon as I voice it, I know exactly who Vlahos is referring to, Baylor Evans.

“I’m guessing he’s discovered Ms. Evans was helping you.”

“Baylor-fucking-Evans, I thought I was rid of her,” I tell him, but it’s a lie, a big fucking lie. She’s been on my mind every single day for the last twelve months. Hell, I even dream about her and have woken up on several occasions with a rock-hard dick. I’d either have to take a cold shower or whack one out just so I could get back to sleep. “Where is she right now?”

“Funny you should ask, she was released from prison today. The timing is quite the coincidence, if you ask me.”

“Is she aware of the threat made?”

“Not as yet. I came to see you to get your opinion on what we do from here.”

“Me? Why do I care what happens?”

“Because she was your informant. I thought—”

“No, no, I get it. I’ll reach out to her and tell her to be careful.”

“Maybe you should put someone on her. Just to be safe.
