“I’m gonna strangle my sister,” Jason mumbled, walking into my, or should I say our, office.

“Which one?”

It was a toss up which one had annoyed him this morning. Over the last three days since dinner at his parents’ he’d called each of them. He’d talked to them one by one, opening up about the last two years and why he’d distanced himself from the family. It took a lot out of him. He’d been emotionally wrecked after each phone call. The last three nights had been intense.

Each night, by the time we’d had dinner, cleaned up, and made it up to bed, he’d been ready to bury himself in me and forget everything. I’d been more than happy to help him forget. Never once had he made me feel used. All his focus and energy had been on me, on what made me feel good. He’d been bossy and rough. It’d been crazy good. Each night he’d let himself go and gave me the gift of him.

“Delaney.”

“Oh, boy. What happened?”

“You remember after dinner on Sunday she said she was looking into that science club more because something felt off?” I nodded. We’d both had told her to leave it alone, we had someone on it, but the woman was Walker-stubborn and said she’d wanted to get the club records to see who was actually going to the after-school meetings. “She said the sign-in sheets were a bust because they’re in Mr. Lowe’s class and she has no reason to be in there. But she did remember that a teacher, Kimberly Akins, had a thing for the science teacher in the beginning of the year. They went on a date, but, after that, nothing. She also said that Kim has changed. She can’t explain how, just that she was quiet and reserved now. Comes in, teaches, and leaves. No more crush on Mr. Lowe, no socializing with the other teachers.”

“Shit. That’s not good.”

“No, it’s not. Delaney tried to talk to Kim after a teachers’ meeting yesterday after school, but Kim shut her down.”

“We need to pass this off to Bruce. See if he can go in and talk to Kimberly Akins.”

“She asked if we could do it.”

The DEA didn’t conduct interviews, not like this. We were merely partnering with the local PD on this more as a sign of goodwill. We should’ve stepped out of the case when the legal pharmas stopped being used. But Bruce had asked us to stay on and our boss agreed it was good to show the community a group effort, especially because we were dealing with teenagers. They wanted the show of force. However, this was in the local PD’s wheelhouse.

“If Bruce doesn’t mind, we can head down after school lets out.”

“That’d be perfect. I caught a new case,” he told me. “Looks like it’s coming out of Ohio making its way down south. We’re gonna try and intercept it as the shipment goes through Georgia.”

Oh. I hadn’t given him going back to his task force much thought.
