No familiar thrill of triumph accompanied the discovery. No sense of accomplishment, no swell of excitement that here lay the key to winning another case, the key to her career. Instead she felt sickened that she would be instrumental in making certain that, once more, Franco Sabatino escaped paying for his crimes. With this development she knew they would get him off. And she realized with stomach-churning dread and despair that there was nothing on this earth she wanted less than to see Franco Sabatino go free.

“Nothing here to get Sabatino off,” Devlin muttered, flipping another page. Though he never counted on police error, it sure made his cases easier when it occurred. “Not even a hint of a glitch.” He snapped the last file shut and tossed it on the table in disgust. “How about you?” he asked Gabrielle. “Find anything?”

She looked at him for a moment, blinked, then looked away. “Nothing,” she said, gathering her stack of reports together and closing the files.

“Damn!” Frustrated, he slapped his hand on the table. “This isn’t looking good.”

“Something—” She hesitated and cleared her throat. “Something’s bound to turn up.”

Was it his imagination or did she look paler than she had a few minutes ago? “What enthusiasm. You sound like you’d just as soon it didn’t.”

“Don’t be absurd,” she snapped, fiddling with the files. “You’re not the only one who wants to win.”

Considering her, he said slowly, “I hadn’t thought so.” Definitely paler, he thought. Something was up with her. From what he’d seen that morning, Gabrielle hadn’t been able to concentrate worth jack on anything. Tense and distracted didn’t begin to describe her. He felt an unwanted flash of guilt, knowing that last night was bound to be at least part of her problem.

“What’s that supposed to mean?” she asked. The words snapped out, and her head had come up belligerently. She met his gaze dead-on.
