Chapter Ten

Adam stood behind Sakura’s chair as she shot off an email to her dad. He frowned. “Are you sure about this?”

Sakura paused in typing, her lips moving as she reread the wording she’d chosen. “We already figured out Roger’s left Miami. I don’t know if he’s headed back to San Diego or what. Either way, he’s not what the family thought he was. They should be warned. I’m not going to say he’s a shifter—although I can’t explain why—but I’m telling Dad not to trust him. He’ll believe me and be more cautious when dealing with Roger. You better believe though when I catch up to him, his ass is mine.”

“All right, it’s your call. We have more than enough to deal with here. The hunters can handle themselves. I got us an appointment with the medical examiner’s office at three.”

“Mm, you’re so resourceful.”

He shrugged. “I charm when necessary and threaten when it doesn’t work.”

Sakura peered at him over shoulder. “Which was it this time?”

“I’m not telling you.”

She laughed, and he was glad for her good mood over the last couple of days. While they had planned to get moving on the investigation, they had hardly stirred from bed. When they had, they had discovered Roger fled Miami. Adam noticed a couple fox shifters watching them when they did venture out, but Sakura made no indication she knew, and he had no reason to tell her. As long as Deveron and his men kept out of his way and stayed away from Sakura, he didn’t care what else they did.

That afternoon, Adam took Northwest Fourteenth Street, which sat off Twelfth Avenue and continued to Northwest Tenth Avenue, also called Bob Hope Road. Once he’d turned onto that street, he passed the Miami Transplant Institute and kept driving until he reached the building that housed the Medical Examiner Department, Records Bureau. After slipping into a parking spot, he stepped out of the car and jogged around to hold the door for Sakura. She quirked an eyebrow at him, but offered a slight smile. If he didn’t know any better he would think his mate was happier and freer than she had ever been. Was it the fox that did it or his change? Either way, he figured she would not admit the truth should he broach the subject, so he kept his observations to himself. For the moment, he decided to enjoy this new Sakura and help her solve the mystery around her mom. When it was over, well, he had some plans formulating in his mind, which he believed would work out great for the two of them.

They walked into the building and located Transcriptions, the secretary of which scheduled appointments for the medical examiners. The unit also produced reports for autopsy protocols, neuropathology, and microscopic exams. During his conversation with the secretary, she had shared that the building housed two research rooms should any research be needed. His mind had produced all kinds of scenarios for what one could study within these walls, and most of them made him cringe in disgust.
