Chapter 11

“You can take a seat on the side, ma’am.” The detective was polite.

She gave him a hard glance and said, “I’d rather sit with Flynn.”

“He’s just answering questions. You can wait until he comes back out again.”

She crossed her arms over her chest and glared at the man on the other side of the desk. “I know you’re just doing your job,” she said.

“Good,” he barked. “Then let us do it. If there’s no reason to keep him, then we won’t.”

She glared at him again until a soft laugh came from behind her. She turned to see Logan. “There you are. You’re getting him out of here, right?”

“With you on his defense team?” Logan asked with a chuckle. “I doubt they’ll charge him with anything. Because if they did, they’d have to face you. And believe me, that’s not what any of them want.”

The detective behind the desk muttered, “You got that right.”

Logan led her to one of the long benches against the wall. “Let’s just sit here and relax.”

“How can I possibly do that when they took him in for questioning?”

“Did they say what it was about?” he asked.

“No, but what else could it be other than Jonas’s murder?” She let her breath out in a heavy sigh, running her hands through her hair. “The guy makes me nuts. You know that, right?”

Logan laughed. “He has that effect on a lot of people.”

She smiled. “But he’s a good guy.”

“Glad you noticed.”

It was the emphasis on the word noticed in his voice that had her glaring at him in suspicion. “What do you mean by that?”

His grin widened. “Flynn likes you too.”

“Oh,” she said in a small voice. “Was it that obvious?”

He laughed out loud. “Your defense of him says a lot.”

“You’ve got to remember I defend the underdogs,” she told him.

“That’s true. But Flynn really doesn’t need anybody to stand up for him.”

“I’m afraid he does now. I don’t know what the hell that friend of his is up to, but he won’t be happy until Flynn suffers for some reason.”

“Well, he’s not a friend any longer,” Logan said. “I’m not sure they ever really were. But they were in the same unit. And when things go bad, they tend to go really bad. Nobody in the military has a weak character, they don’t breed them that way. When they find strengths, they hone and sharpen them. So when two military types get on opposite sides of the same bar, it can get ugly.”

“He has to really hate Flynn in order to want him to suffer like this.”

“I wouldn’t be at all surprised if he isn’t planning to kill him.”

“Oh, my God,” she cried. “Really?”

Logan grabbed her hands, already twisted into knots, her nails digging into her soft flesh. “I shouldn’t have said that. Just take it easy. We really don’t know anything yet.”

“No, you’re wrong there. We know somebody’s setting him up. And with that much hate inside, there’s really no way to know when they’ll stop. If they’re gonna stop.
