Poet enjoyed the meal, relished the subtle flirting and an easy conversation about the bases where they'd been stationed. As she wiped dry the last pan, Maliki grabbed his phone. He dialed and held the phone to his ear while he leaned back against the counter.

He released a low rumbling laugh. "Fuck you. I did send an email, but I have a concern I need to run past you that won't wait until tomorrow's update." Maliki shot her a glance and winked again.

How could one man be so damn sexy? His blond hair, blue eyes, tanned skin and that damn sexy reddish blond beard. She shivered a bit at the memory of that beard on her neck.

"The young lady I assisted the first night I hit town passed away."

She watched as he nodded, put his free hand on his hip, and explained the events of the day the exact same way she'd told him. No enhancements, no deviation. Not a cop my ass. He had to have had training.

"The fucked-up thing is, I can see the need for a clinical autopsy, not a forensic examination." He glanced up at her and listened to whoever was on the other end of the line. He nodded.

"Can you do that?" He lifted an eyebrow and listened. "No, we are starting with the most recent case and working backward, hoping memories will be sharper." He nodded. "I can do that. No, no, I agree. Uh huh. Yeah, sure, I've been there." He paused and cleared his throat. "Thanks. What was that? Oh? How are you going to do that?"

He laughed and shook his head. "I have no doubt. Yeah, I'll keep my ass down. What? You and your chickens. Yeah, fuck you, Henrietta." His laughter rumbled around the kitchen as he hung up the phone.

She grabbed her wine and his and handed it to him as she left the kitchen and made her way to the living room where she sat down on the couch. He took a seat next to her.
