Dad wasn’t keen on it, but he relented and allowed Green to transport me to the Royal Oak Police Department for questioning. He promised Neil would be there when I arrived, but I understood (better than even Dad probably) how things would go and wasn’t worried about flubbing the interrogation. I was worried about Griffin.

As if reading my mind, Dad patted my shoulder before I slid into the back seat of Green’s car. “I’ll call him.”

“He won’t be happy.”

“That’s not your fault.” Dad gave Green a steely-eyed glare. “I’ll be right behind her.”

“With your legal team, no doubt.” Green’s expression said he didn’t believe Dad would unleash a load of lawyerly fury on him. He was in for a rude awakening.

“I’ll see you in twenty minutes, Aisling,” Dad said, his eyes never leaving Green’s face. “Don’t worry about anything.”

Green waited until he was in the driver’s seat, his door closed, before speaking. “You should worry. We have some tough questions for you.”

“Bring it on.”

At the police station, Green ushered me to the same interrogation room I’d occupied this morning. He made a big deal of showing me in and telling me to get comfortable before leaving me to sit in the sterile room for what felt like forever. I knew exactly what he was doing. He was trying to frazzle my nerves, cause me to be anxious and then hopefully make a mistake under questioning. As Cormack Grimlock’s daughter, I knew how that worked. I stole my father’s vehicles multiple times as a teenager, even going to so far as to accidentally dump one in the Detroit River during a pursuit one night. Trust me. Dad was much more terrifying than Green.

Neil showed up ten minutes after I was seated, and took the open chair next to me. He didn’t spare a glance for the two-way mirror on the wall, instead offering up a relaxed smile as he focused on me. “They didn’t mistreat you, did they? I will be filing several nuisance complaints before leaving today. I want to make sure I have all of them lined up.”

“They kept their rubber hoses to themselves.”

Neil snorted. “I forgot about your mouth. I believe the only time I’ve ever been speechless was when you told that officer in Detroit that you were sleepwalking when you took your father’s car from the garage and you had no recollection of how you got behind the wheel in your Hello Kitty sleep pants.”

“I still maintain that’s what happened.”

“You’re good under pressure,” Neil noted. “Don’t lose that trait. Let me do the talking. If he asks a question I believe you should answer, I will let you know.”

I nodded. “Did the rest of the legal team show up for Dad?”

Neil smiled. “I believe they’re in the lobby right now.”

“Is it an army?”

“Oh, honey, it’s a platoon.”

Neil rested his palms flat on the table and stared at the door until Green made his way in. Green was cocky, an added swagger to his step, but my ability to read people pegged it as posturing rather than legitimate bravado.
