CHAPTER SIXTEEN

H alfway across the parking lot, Phil heard Ty call her name. She stopped, her back rigid. She could just see that smirk on his face. The one that said, “I got to you and we both know it.” She pressed her lips into a hard line and strode away from his voice. Damn him anyway. It wasn’t about sex, it was her going with her gut.

It was about doing the right thing.

She hopped on her motorcycle, hit the electric ignition, and strapped on her helmet. Then she kicked into gear and sped past her stunned lieutenant. Hah! Didn’t think she had it in her to ride a bike? It was her only guiltless pleasure.

Racing down the road, she didn’t give a damn if she was pulled over for exceeding the speed limit. She shook her head. Speeding? Lying to her superiors? Possibly getting a murderer off before he could be charged?

“Phil, you are going downhill fast,” she muttered quietly.

Who killed Scott Mason? And why? Had he bothered someone else? He was annoying, rude, and a slimeball, but that wasn’t grounds for someone to take him out. What purpose would that serve? Why would anyone want him dead? She tamped down the urge to nudge her way into that homicide investigation. She had enough on her plate.

She blew a red light and told herself it was okay because there wasn’t a car anywhere near the intersection. The thrill of breaking yet another law electrified her. Shit, she was going rogue. Was it any wonder? She had the master as her mentor.

She turned off the main street to her neighborhood.

An hour later, Phil’s house had never been so clean. Her adrenaline-charged energy could have launched an atomic bomb. She decided to shower and go back to the office and pore over files. There was nothing else to do, no one to visit. She plopped down on a straight-back chair at her small kitchen table. How pathetic was that? No one to visit. Her mother was inconsolable. It was always the same thing. Guilt washed over Phil. She needed to make more of an effort. But how? She wasn’t a people person.

The ring of the doorbell startled her out of her pity party.

“Captain,” she said surprised. She opened the door wider and motioned Dettmer in.

“Zorn, we need to talk.”

“Okay. Let’s go into the living room.”

He followed behind her and she motioned for him to sit down on the recliner. She suppressed a smile. Ty filled it out much better than the captain. While Dettmer was in shape for a man in his early fifties, he didn’t carry himself with the sexy arrogance Ty did.

She rolled her eyes. Since when was arrogance sexy? Phil sat on the sofa across from her captain.

“So what brings you here, sir?”

Dettmer didn’t waste any time getting to the point. “Your lieutenant is walking both sides of the law. I want you to keep a log on him.”

“I—sir, I can’t do that!”

“Why not?”

“I—” Why not? “I have my hands full with this case.
