Gray finally slammed his book shut.

“Fine,” he said. “But for the record, will you answer me just one more question? Detective, you were the

primary investigator in this case. You were on your way to apprehend two very dangerous suspects who

you believed to be responsible for the death of Detective Thayer. Why didn’t you call for the tactical

assistance of the Emergency Service Unit?”

I sat there for a couple of seconds. He had me on that one. It was standard operating procedure, and I

hadn’t done it.

I opened my mouth to say … God only knew what.

Then my jaw dropped as my boss jumped in.

“I authorized her to go ahead.”

I looked over at Keane. He looked back with an expression that said, keep your mouth shut.

“I determined that there wasn’t enough time to wait, so I gave the go-ahead,” Keane went on. Then he rose

from his seat. He walked across the length of the room and opened the door for Navy and Gray.

“Now, my detective has to get back to work,” he said.

“Thanks for the save there, boss man,” I said after the IAB creeps left and Keane had shut the door again.

“Yeah, well, you and your partner are heroes as far as I and every self-respecting cop in this department

are concerned,” Keane said, taking his seat back.

“And oh, yeah,” he said. “Fuck the IAB.”
