Peter

Peter’s mood shifted instantly. He’d hoped to have a couple of light-hearted hours today, but it looked like that was all about to change. And now Amy was upset on top of it.

He tipped his head toward the ladies. “Looks like she’s done here. See you all later.”

Peter didn’t know if he should hurry to catch up to her or let her go. She was upset, but he didn’t know why. The ladies could be a bit much, but he assumed she had been around them enough to know what they were like.

At any rate, Peter was even more concerned about Amy’s safety after speaking with Hank and Lucy. He couldn’t let her walk all the way back to her car alone. If she chose not to talk to him, fine, but he needed to be with her.

He pushed the door open to find her leaning against the brick wall, her sweatshirt and ponytail whipping in the wind. “Rain’s gonna hit any minute. If you want to leave, we’d better run for it.”

Without so much as a nod, she took off at a quick pace down the sidewalk. He fell in step next to her. “Did you get to see anything? I’m sorry you didn’t enjoy it.”

“I did enjoy the two pieces I actually got to look at.”

“We can go back.”

“I’m too embarrassed.”

“Why?”

“Because you think I’m obsessed with penises and asses.”

“I do?”

Amy looked straight ahead and nodded, then wrapped her arms tightly around her body.

He grabbed Amy’s hand and tucked it under his arm. “You’re blushing again.”

“I know. I feel like an inferno when it happens.”

“Well, then I guess you can have your hand back. I was trying to keep you warm.”

She yanked her hand away. “Oh, I thought… Um, yeah, temperature’s dropping fast.”

Peter studied her face as well as he could as they speed-walked down the street. She was more than embarrassed like she’d been earlier, but he didn’t quite know what it was. Had she seen something suspicious? Did someone scare her? Surely she would tell him. “Are you okay? Did something happen?”

“I’m fine, thanks.” She pulled the hood of her sweatshirt over her head. “Who were the ladies you were talking to?”

Odd change of topic, but if it made her feel better, he’d go with it. “Hank was there with his friend Sarah, and then the one with the blond and pink hair is our newest sergeant, Lucy.”

Amy stopped in her tracks. “Lucy? The amazing painter?”

Peter had to wheel around to look at her. “No, she’s a police officer.”

“Does she paint? There was a beautiful picture of a countryside cottage.”

Peter shrugged. “No idea. All I know is she’s following in her father’s footsteps as a cop and eventually wants to be a detective. In fact, she just found a fingerprint match at a bar in Springfield and wants to follow up on a few leads. She and Sarah are gonna go scope the place out while Hank and I cover her shift this evening.”

“She’s gonna go out partying while you work for her?”

“Not partying.
