Chapter 13

By the time Walker arrived downstairs, Kruso had already helped herself to a soda. The thing of it was that there wasn’t a detective he worked with who hadn’t shown up here when he was home. Most knocked before walking right in. Kruso, although an anomaly among the bigger cops around her, fit in kind of like the team mascot. She was tough, foulmouthed, and smart, and her youngest kid was just out of diapers.

“So when did you start bringing witnesses and victims of crimes home and sleeping with them?” she asked before taking a swallow of ginger ale.

“When did you start just walking into my place?”

She shrugged. “I knocked, you didn’t answer. I got worried, is all.” She jutted her chin toward the stairs. “So?” she asked, waiting him out.

“She’s interesting” was all he could say. The truth was that Kate had kind of bowled him over. The sizzle between them was off the charts, and he’d never experienced a woman like her. He’d thought that after the first time, he’d be satisfied, but he still wasn’t, not by a long shot. It was the taste of her, and every time he had her, he wanted more.

“Hmm,” she said.

He wasn’t sure he liked the way Kruso was eyeing him up. Before she could start poking her nose in his business any more, he decided to steer the conversation away from his libido. “So what happened with this Ryder dude? You said he called 911.”

“Units are on their way, should be there now. Apparently his place was trashed. That’s all I know. Thought you wanted to know, as well, since this is your case—and you are, after all, protecting the victim.”

The way she said it, Walker knew she was trying to get the conversation back on Kate. “What about Cindy Schmidt? Where is she?”

Kruso was wearing the same tweed jacket she always did, with dark pants. Her cropped hair looked as if she’d gotten out of bed in a hurry and forgotten to brush it. “Well, that’s the thing. She’s not at home. We’ve got units out looking for her. The crime lab had a go at your Kate’s computer and found a virus on it.”

He heard the creak on his stairs and turned to see Kate in his T-shirt and her shorts, still barefoot, her wet hair combed back. She had a killer body and stirred his interest more than a woman ever had. Talk about a match in bed!

“A virus on my computer?” she asked. “How can that be? I have an antivirus program on there that’s supposed to be top notch and catch everything.”

Kruso gave her a look, taking in her attire. “Well, that’s the thing. Nothing can protect you from everything, and as soon as an antivirus program has a patch to catch a virus or other malware on your computer, more are created that slip through.”

“Great. That’s just great,” Kate added, sounding annoyed.

Walker could understand, to a point. He held out his hand, and Kate took it, stepping beside him.
