“How have you been feeling?” Destiny sat across from me.

This week, I ordered a shrimp trio. The chocolate shake wasn’t quite cutting it. I was starving and needed to feed my hungry child immediately. My appetite was picking up as the weeks flew by.

“Fat,” I admitted, stirring the pasta noodles before putting a few strands in my mouth.

“Well, you don’t look fat. That’s for certain,” Destiny complimented with a smile.

“Yeah?”

“Not at all. You’re all belly. Some women blow up and look like whales. Ugh, you’re glowing.” Following my lead, she ordered actual food as well. She had gotten steak and a loaded potato.

“Well, I have nearly four months to go, so I have a lot of growing to do.”

“You’ll be just fine.”

“Have you made any progress on the case?” I wanted to cut straight to the chase.

We had all night to sit around and chat. My main concern was Sosa and his freedom. After the call I’d received earlier this morning, I knew that I had to do something soon, or I’d lose it. I wouldn’t last much longer before giving up completely, and that was something I didn’t want to do. Not at all.

“Tremendous progress. I’ve snagged another big fish to fry. His name is Juan. He’s pushing heavy weight, but not for long. Unlike Sosa, he’s not a very smart man, or at least he thinks he is. In just two weeks, I’ve nearly penetrated his operation completely. He treats his men like shit, which makes our jobs easy. They can’t wait to see him fall.”

“And what about your team? Are they buying into the new case?”

“Yes. We’ve grown to understand that Sosa isn’t returning, and we’ve exhausted our resources, trying to figure out where he is. The man is smart. Too damned smart if you ask me.”

“And the evidence.” The pasta was nearly gone, but I was happy to have a second serving as a choice of the trio.

“I brought this with me to show you.” Destiny pulled out a folder from her bag.

Laying it out on the table, she began comparing the differences between the first evidence log she’d shown me and the new one. There wasn’t a single piece of evidence listed. Not one. My heart filled with glee as I picked up the newest log. For two months, she’d been working to get Sosa’s evidence dissolved, and she’d finally come through. Instinctively, I learned over the table and hugged her around the neck. It was obvious she was caught by surprise, because she didn’t return the gesture. By the time she realized what had happened, I was back in my seat and scanning over the paper.

“You think they’re going to have questions?”

“I’ve already raised hell about the evidence going missing. I’ve even began pointing the finger at some of the shady officers that were on the case with me. But they wanted Sosa so damned bad—just like me—that they’d never jeopardize the investigation.”

“What is it with cops? You guys are so obsessed with these people’s lives.
