Officer Jason Keith was on duty when we arrived at the station. I asked for him at the front desk, and he appeared within minutes, wearing a bright smile. My heart sank when I realized how my impromptu visit might be misinterpreted. A couple of months back, Jason had been instrumental in helping me deal with an even more obnoxious—and ultimately, more tragic—ghost than Kimberly. It had been clear he was interested in more than a working relationship, but I was already in the beginning of my relationship with Lucas, or at the very least, emerging from the denial that I even wanted a relationship.

“Hello, Scarlet. It’s been a little while,” Jason said, slipping his hands into the pockets of his black police-issued slacks. He was always polished and neat, not a button or pleat out of order. I supposed it was an admirable quality, but at the same time, it was hard to imagine his attraction to me. I didn’t wander around full-blown bag lady or anything, but my jeans usually bore holes at the knees, and getting dressed up meant wearing shoes that didn’t have scuffs on the toes.

I returned his easy smile. “Hello, Jason. How are you?”

“Doing all right. Working a lot of overtime. The summer always brings out the crazies.”

“I’ll bet.” I laughed, the sound hollow, and then my eyes fell on the ancient receptionist whose expression made it clear she could do without our small talk. Returning my gaze to Jason, I folded my hands together in front of me. “Listen, is there any way that I could have a few minutes? There’s something I wanted to ask you about. Officially, I mean.”

“Of course,” Jason replied. His tone remained casual, but a flicker of something … disappointment … crossed his face. “Come on back.”

He led the way, but I remembered the path from my last visit to the small station. Jason’s workspace was a parceled-out patch among a cluster of desks, all separated by low partitions that didn’t quite qualify them as proper cubicles. I wasn’t sure why he even had a desk considering he wasn’t a detective, but it seemed the force was small enough that everyone got a space to call their own. Must be some kind of morale thing, I decided as I took the seat Jason offered me.

I glanced around as I slid down into the chair. Kimberly wasn’t anywhere in my line of sight. She’d followed me over, mostly keeping to herself, but was now gone.

Weird.

“What’s going on?” Jason asked once he took his own seat. He sat across from me but the space was so small that our knees nearly met in the middle. “You on some new CIA mission?” he teased.

“Not this time.” I crossed my legs and laced my fingers together over my knee. “Actually, it’s about Kimberly Gardner. I don’t know if you know, but I was hired to do the flowers for her wedding.”

“Your name was on the list of potential contacts,” Jason replied.
