Chapter Twelve

“All right, you degenerates!” Blaze bellows as he walks into the room. “Sit down. Let’s get started.”

The noise dies down and we all settle into our usual seats as Blaze sits at the head of the table and bangs the gavel on the top.

“Where are we at with the Laney investigation?”

I shake my head. “Stalled out.”

We spent the last couple weeks pouring over the case and we can’t find anything more than what Rodriguez did. It’s gotten to the point where I’m wondering if Owen wasn’t really behind it despite the feeling in my gut that there’s more going on.

“If there’s evidence to find, we’re not finding it,” Storm adds, frustration splayed across his face.

“Keep digging,” Blaze instructs. “We promised Rodriguez some answers.”

“Have we considered the possibility that the two things aren’t related?” Moose asks and Blaze turns to him.

“Meaning?”

“Meaning that all the evidence points to this guy that Rodriguez locked up so are we sure that her death and her stalker are connected?”

I point at him from across the table. “It’s too neat, though. There’s no way that if this guy actually did it that he’d leave so many clues for us to find.”

“Both are a possibility,” Streak adds. “But if it’s a set-up, it's one of the best damn ones I’ve ever seen.”

“So what are you saying?”

He shakes his head, letting out a breath. “Nothing. Just that if someone did set him up and that’s a big if, they’d have to have an intimate knowledge of not only Rodriguez but the way the police work. All the clues pointed to Owen - not in an obvious way but he wasn’t exactly hiding his tracks either. It’s just believable enough that most people wouldn’t dig further.”

“Someone needs to talk to Rodriguez. Ask him if he’s had issues with anyone lately,” Blaze instructs and Storm nods.

“I’ll handle it.”

“Good,” he answers before turning to me. “What do we have going on with the P.I. business this week?”

I shake my head. “Oh, you know, just the usual.”

“Cheating husband?” Chance asks, his lip curling in disgust. Chance has made it perfectly clear in the past how much he despises working on the P.I. side of things because it seems like all we do is break up marriages but he is not exactly all that skilled with a wrench either, which eliminates the possibility of him working at the shop. I nod my head.

“Yep. I have to meet up with Tate in a few minutes for one of our cases.”

Blaze nods thoughtfully. “How’s she working out?”

“Good,” I answer as I glance over at Kodiak. Tate first came into all our lives a few months ago when Blaze ordered Kodiak to watch her and it didn’t take long for things to get a little out of control. There’s still a little tension between Tate and Blaze after everything that went down but I have faith that they’ll both come around. This is a family, after all. Blaze nods again before grabbing the gavel and banging it on the table.
