“O’Connor! What the fucking hell?”

Connor rose from the squeaky chair in the interrogation room. “Chief.”

“Sit your ass down. I’m told you shot and killed three men tonight. What the fuck happened? Was this at your place?”

Connor lowered himself on the chair, forced his breathing down. He’d survived being held hostage by the Taliban. He could damn well handle a friendly interrogation by his own chief. “No, sir, it was at my boyfriend’s house.”

The chief didn’t even blink, which meant the boyfriend part was not news to him. Connor wasn’t surprised. He’d met a colleague at the hospital when Noah had been admitted for his surgery, so he must have spread the word.

“We were having friends over. The doorbell rang, Noah opened the door and immediately was attacked. One of my friends runs a jiujitsu school. He took down two assailants but got shot by a third in the process before I managed to shoot him. Two more men came in through the back door, firing shots, and I took them down. Sir.”

“Who was present, aside from yourself?”

“My boyfriend, Joshua Gordon. His roommate, Noah Flint. Two friends of ours, Blake Kent, and Aaron Gordon, Josh’s brother. Blake’s the one who was shot twice, sir.”

“And you were the only one who fired shots?”

“Yes, sir.”

“Did you know these men?”

This was where it got tricky. “No, sir, not personally. But I believe they’re connected to the Fitzpatricks, sir.” When he’d gotten hired, he’d informed the chief about his family, figuring it’d be better to be open about it than have them find out later.

“You think this was personal, aimed at you?”

He nodded. “Yes, sir.” It was the only believable explanation he’d been able to come up with without implicating Indy. Why else would five Boston gangsters attack a random house in New York?

“I thought you lived in an apartment.”

“I did, sir, till recently. I moved in with Josh a few weeks ago.”

“And with his roommate.”

“Yes, sir.”

“Who also happens to be Josh’s ex.”

Connor’s expression soured. “Yes.”

“Don’t give me that, O’Connor. You know the gossip mill works fine here. I don’t give a shit whether or not you’re gay, and whether you’re involved with one or both of them, you hear me?” The chief leaned forward. “You know IA will investigate this shooting, so until further notice you’re on non-active duty with pay. Be smart, and contact your union rep. And O’Connor?”

“Yeah, chief?”

“If I were you, I’d come up with a reasonable explanation for two facts. The first is why you used a gun registered to Joshua Gordon to shoot these intruders, and not your own service weapon, or the private gun registered in your name. But more importantly, I’d try and explain how you managed to shoot three guys in the exact same place: straight through the heart. You’re a decent shot, O’Connor, but that’s pretty fucking impressive considering the chaos that had to be going on around you, wouldn’t you agree?”

Connor kept his expression carefully blank. “Yes, sir.”

“You know we tested you for gunshot residue, and it came back positive.
