“Yes, ma’am,” he said, getting down to business.

Jagger was grateful for his wife and child.

Without them, he’d be in hell.

Detective’s Office

Tuesday Afternoon

While he wished the man in custody had been productive, Connor O’Leary had not been helpful—at all.

The second they arrived at his office, he began screaming police brutality.

The only thing that saved Laird’s bacon was that Bishop Monroe was simply a tourist. She’d played that card, wept a little as she filed a police report, and helped Laird keep the man locked in the cage.

The Monroes were well known in Adare, and they were respected. Lucian’s family had infused the town with money years ago, and that gave them respect.

Her word as Lucian’s wife was paramount over one of their own with a history of being a criminal.

Still…

He’d been useless.

As soon as the man’s lawyer arrived, he refused to talk to Laird about anything. Apparently, he didn’t want to implicate himself.

That was fine with him.

Laird had a plan.

“What are you going to do?” Nate asked, sitting in the man’s office area, sipping some coffee.

“Well, the static is going haywire,” he said, tapping his head. “Something is going on,” he offered.

Nate knew from being around Avalon and Lucian that when the voices were stirred up, that generally meant they were expecting something bad.

“Maybe the killer?”

He nodded. “That would be my guess,” he offered. “Tonight, the killer will move again. I can hold Connor for about twenty-four hours. If we have a body, and he’s in lock up…”

They got it.

He wouldn’t be their man.

“I wish we had something more,” Bishop said, as she perched on the corner of an unused desk. “It sucks that someone is going to die, and we can’t stop it.”

Laird agreed. “The only people I have left are the owner of the bar, which I was going to talk to tonight on my date, and Kyra’s roommate, Tierney Sweeney.”

Yeah, their list of people to talk to was pretty slim.

“We can help out,” Luke offered.

That would be awesome.

“Who do you want?” he asked. “I have some time before I meet Brianna for dinner, so maybe I can interview one of them.”

“I want the hooker,” Bishop offered.

“Haven’t had enough excitement today?” Luke asked. “Really? You want some hooker to round out the day?”

She laughed. “Hey! My husband gets to play in the crazy all day with Oracle. I should have some of the fun.”

They were good with that.

“We’ll take Tierney Sweeney,” Nate offered.

Laird looked at his watch. “She’ll already be out trying to pick up some johns. The early bird, she gets the worm.”

Bishop laughed. “More like she ‘gets worms’. Worms being code for a raging STD.”

He laughed.

She was probably right.

“Here’s her license picture. You should be able to pick her out.”

“Well, we can’t just stroll over and ask her questions,” Bishop stated.

Both men stared at her. “NO!” they said together.

“Oh, come on! Which one of you wants to pick up a hooker for some fun?” she teased.

Luke shook his head.
