Charlie received a call from Ted early the next morning to meet at a coffee shop in Wilmington, located at the north end of Harbor division. They ordered breakfast and reminisced about their glory days as they ate.

Midway through the meal, Ted changed the subject. “Well, I didn’t really ask you to meet me here to talk about old times.”

“I figured that,” Charlie said.

“I’m concerned about Scott and the Mancini case.”

“He’s a pretty determined kid.”

“I know, but I’m afraid he’s going to start kicking up more shit than Melanie needs,” Ted said.

“I tried to talk him out of it but—”

“She’s pretty vulnerable right now, because of her father’s death. I thought running the bar was a bad idea, but to make matters worse, the girl shows up and dredges up more of the past. I don’t know how much of this she can take.”

“If I remember, she’s a pretty tough cookie.”

“I know my wife!”

Charlie tensed up. “Look, I feel like I’m in the middle of a family dispute. First Scott begs me to open the case. Then Melanie asks me not to, and now I get the feeling I’m about to be ordered to leave it alone.”

“Melanie asked you not to get involved?”

“Hell, yeah.” Charlie shook his head. “Jesus, I’m only a salty detective with two busted marriages, but I can see you people need to talk to each other more.”

“You just keep Scott away from the case.”

“Listen, I’ll do what I can,” Charlie said. “But he’s trying to be the girl’s hero so he can stay in her panties. Even as his senior officer I can’t compete with that.”
