Chapter Fourteen

I followed Travis through the door. I wasn’t surprised to find Griffin waiting for us.

“Griffin,” Travis nodded.

“Cooper,” Griffin replied.

I waited a second as both of them eyed each other.

“Seriously, guys. We’re doing this now?”

Griffin broke eye contact first.

“No, you’re right. We need to act professional. Cooper and I have worked together before…”

“And wasn’t that just a special experience?” Travis interrupted.

I rolled my eyes. I seriously could not believe that I had to put up with this. It was like two irritating puppies fighting for dominance.

“We have a job to do and we all need to work together, nicely,” I said through gritted teeth. I was very much looking forward to the end of this day.

Griffin at least had the ability to look a little shamefaced. “Sorry, instinctive reaction.”

“You need to work on those,” I muttered.

“Still can’t believe you got a job here,” pointed out Travis.

“You’re not the only one,” Griffin said tightly.

I shot a worried look in his direction. “Is everything okay?”

Griffin nodded. “The lawyer is not happy that I’m here but he was overruled by management. Seems Monique has a lot of say when she wants it.”

I nodded. We were all just lucky that Monique used her powers for good rather than evil. If she ever went to the dark side, the world could be in real trouble.

“So, what are you two doing now?” asked Griffin suspiciously.

“I’m walking Travis through what I did the other morning when I found Jolena’s body.”

“Do you mind if I tag along?”

“Sure,” I said.

“Don’t you have work you’re supposed to be doing?” queried Travis.

Griffin shrugged. “Nobody seems to have any idea what to do with me. I have been given strict instructions to stay away from the band. Seems the lawyer doesn’t trust me not to bust them on a drugs charge or something.”

To be perfectly honest, neither did I.

“Monique wanted me to stay close to you and be there if Jorge needs help, so that is what I’m going to do,” Griffin said with a smile on his face.

I couldn’t really say that I found that smile to be comforting at all.

“Is Trudie in danger?” interrupted Travis.

I was touched by the concern in his voice. Griffin obviously heard it as well because he frowned at his former partner.

“Some of us are just a little worried about Trudie.”

“That would be a full-time job,” muttered Travis.

“Hey,” I said. “I’m fine if you insist on taking pot shots at Griffin here but could we please keep me out of the line of fire.”

Travis grinned widely.

“Don’t try looking innocent with me. I know you too well for that to work,” I warned.

Travis shrugged. “So, what were you doing when you first got to work that morning?”

“Well, when I got to the mansion I went to check on Buddy because he’s been causing problems for us lately. I just wanted to make sure he was contained.”

Travis looked startled as he followed me through the house with Griffin trailing behind.

“Who is Buddy and why exactly does he need to be contained?”

“Hasn’t anyone told you about Buddy yet?” I asked.
