When Gerri was gone, Isaac looked at Gavin.

Gavin stared back at him for a moment, the air around them crackling with tension. Then without a word, he turned and walked back to his office.

Pete walked away, oblivious to anything wrong.

Isaac huffed out a soft breath and shook his head, then he followed Pete to their desks, wondering what the hell he’d just seen.

He sat down and began to look over the notes he’d taken during their latest round of interviews.

They’d spent the afternoon speaking to the family members of each of their three castrated victims, as well as a few students from both campuses who’d been close to the vics. None of what they’d learned sparked any hints, clues, or breakthroughs in their case. It was clear they needed to regroup and come at this case in a different way, but for the moment, Isaac was at a loss.

A loss made more confusing by the flash he’d just seen when Gerri Miller’s cheek had briefly brushed against his own when she’d hugged him. The good part was that Gerri was a decent person, so the pain had been minimal. But the flash. Well, that was another story.

What the hell had he seen exactly?

How long had it been going on?

And most importantly, what were they thinking?

Unable to concentrate on the work before him, he got up and headed for Lieutenant Hayes’ office.

The door was open. He stepped inside and closed it behind him, then he stood in front of the desk and stared at his boss.

Gavin never looked up, his attention focused on the paperwork he was filling out.

“We should talk, sir.”

Gavin sighed, dropping the pen, and finally looked up at him.

“What did you see, Ike?”

“Is Gerri wanting to transfer out because of you?”

He knew it was an extremely personal question, and he knew that Hayes could easily pull rank and tell him to mind his own eff’n business, or worse. But he had to ask.

Gavin sat back in his chair and folded his hands together.

“Have a seat.”

Isaac took a seat in the chair across from Hayes’ desk. It was strange, but he was getting used to being Hayes’ sounding board and his confidant. Since his recent promotion to sergeant, Hayes seemed to be pulling him in a lot more.

“Tell me what you saw when Gerri touched you.”

Isaac ran his hands over his thighs and hesitated for a beat.

“I saw the two of you… you know. In bed.”

Gavin closed his eyes and lowered his head for a second before he met Isaac’s gaze again.

“How long?”

Isaac couldn’t stop himself from asking.

“The sex, not long. Just a few days. The feelings? Several months.”

Gavin shook his head, as though he couldn’t believe it himself.

“I have fought so hard to avoid the situation I’m in right now. But it’s like… once Curt Dorn died, I worried about her so damn much. And I purposely stayed away from her for as long as I could. That’s why I hadn’t gone to see about her after his funeral.
