CHAPTER 24
âDetective Monroe. Good morning.â
Pat Monroe turned around expecting someone else and did not hide his disappointment at seeing Cadence Elliott standing three feet away in the Metropolitan Police Department break room. He had a donut in one hand and a coffee in the otherâhis usual get-the-day-started comboâand up until five seconds ago his only choice was whether to bite, sip or dunk first. Now he had to decide whether to tell his uninvited visitor to beat it or put his sugar-caffeine hit on hold.
He took a bite, a sip and began walking back to his desk.
âJesus H. Christ, Elliott,â Monroe said through a full mouth. âWhat have you done to your face? Piss off one of your innocent clients?â
âIt was an accident,â she said, refusing to take the bait and falling in behind Monroe.
âYour client ainât here, Elliott. What makes you think you can just walk in like you own the joint? How about calling ahead?â
Calling ahead was what Cadence was never going to do. She knew Monroe would feed her some excuse to blow her off, assuming he took her call.
âI just took a chance on you being here,â she lied. She had camped outside, waiting for him to show. She had allowed herself an hour, and he appeared with twenty minutes to spare.
âThatâs horseshit, and you know it,â he said without turning his head back, knowing there was no need to invite her to follow. He did not know Cadence Elliott well but he knew enough to believe she was as single-minded as an unfed cat. She was not going anywhere.
âYour case was not my priority first off the bat this morning, but I guess Iâll have to change my plans.â
Cadence smiled, relieved that Monroe was prepared to at least hear her out.
Monroe turned into his office, rounded his desk, and tucked himself behind it. He gestured for Cadence to take the seat opposite. âNow, would you mind telling me whatâs so important that you had to queue jump my day?â
Cadence pulled out a file from her messenger bag.
âI wanted to talk about Blake Westerman,â she said as she handed the file to Monroe. He pushed the remainder of his donut into his mouth quickly, dusted the sugar off his fingers and took the file. He washed the mouthful down with coffee as he read.
âWeâve already talked about Blake Westerman,â he said. âNot the nicest person on the planet, but as far as this case goes all he is is a witness. And I donât need to be Nostradamus to know youâre about to tell me otherwise. What is this shit, anyway?â
Cadence had put together a brief on the Atomwaffen Division along with the latest information she and Bob had unearthed. Monroeâs dismissiveness was not unexpected, yet it still rankled her.
âThis shit, as you call it, spells out in plain English that the person with the most to gain from Scott Farrowâs death was Blake Westerman,â she said. âTwo sources have confirmed they received information from someone who had infiltrated Reclaim Americaâs Virginia branch.
