TATUM

* * *

River said he’d be out all night, and the less I know, the better. The ink’s still wet from all the signatures on the house. I’m guessing Constance had a change of heart, or my man’s handled his shit. Either way, he told me to go out. Be seen in public until he calls.

I had a slew of unaware alibis. The last two, though, may very well keep me out of the slammer if River’s actions are ever prosecuted. However, they didn’t get me out of the bind I sorely needed assistance with.

Meeting with Bethany didn’t unearth anything new, except that Marian, the young lady similar in age to Spencer and me, moved out of the country with her family. Now, the woman who I intended to interview has been stricken from the board. A tiny part of me prayed that finding her would lead to a dead end.

That Harrison had only harmed me.

I think back to earlier when Bethany embraced me like a mother would and apologized a thousand times.

I didn’t know how anxious I was until the precise second I forgave her.

Now, I’m navigating the furthest part of Los Angeles. I drove past Camdyn and Willow’s exit a while back. They were supposed to be my last shield for the evening, but I couldn't do it with their being newly engaged like us.

So, I’ll drown my sorrow in a personal pan pizza.

It’s probably a good sign that I should call Dr. Beck and not pour my emotions into calories after a sedentary day of driving to the boondocks.

A few blocks away from my favorite pizza joint, I spot a mini skirt with legs for days, sauntering on the curb’s edge of a liquor store. Beautiful kinky blond coils furrow in the wind. The mixed chick with a bad attitude is infamous around these parts.

Devi’s a few teaspoons lighter than Willow. They share the same hazel eyes, except this prostitute will cut her gaze at you like a shank to the liver.

The wheels of my ride glide to a stop. Widening her legs provocatively, Devi leans her forearms into my opened car window, lips corked, as her head lowers.

“Hey, baby?” A velvet tongue curls over plush, glossed lips until her eyes land on me, then it’s all stab-flick glowers and sneers.

I return her original affection. “Sup, Devi?”

“Aw, Officer Li, if I assumed you wanted to ride my face—”

I cut in, “Barf.”

“Heh, don’t act like you weren’t looking after what you desire. All that hounding me. ‘Here, take a vitamin C pack. It will keep your pussy nice and tight,’ ” the prostitute mimics.

“Devi, get in the car before I haul you in.”

“You undercover?” She starts to back away.

“No. This is my ride.”

“Then naw!”

I lean my elbow onto the center console and call out, “I’ll pay you a hundred just to chat.”

“Don’t harass me, Officer Li.”

Arms wrap around a slender midriff. Devi stalks away.

“Two hundred.”

Slamming the shift into reverse, I peel backward, only to receive death threats and anarchy.
