Chapter 10

Logan closed his office door behind him and paused by Barb’s desk on his way to the station door. “Dan just radioed that he’s on his way in, so I’m going to head on out.”

Sergeant Benson’s smile was approving . . . and a bit too twinkly. “That makes a full week now that you’ve gotten out of here at a decent hour. Nice to see you’re finally getting a little balance. Sir,” she added when she caught his very direct gaze.

“I told you. Alex has scheduled meetings with the first round of subcontractors all this week. So I need to get out here before it gets dark.”

“She moves fast. I’m glad you’re helping her with that.” Barb’s expression remained the picture of innocence, but that twinkle in her eyes said otherwise.

Logan refused to bite. It was the only way he stood a chance. “She has a good way to go on the final report, but we’re in agreement on some of the basic needs on the exterior. She has received the results of the tests she had run, so I want to get going on them before we get any further into the winter season. By the time the weather really turns, I’ll know where I want to start on the interior.”

“Sounds like you two have found a pretty good rhythm.” She kept her smile steady. “Working together.”

Logan knew he was up against a pro, so there was no point in trying to glare her twinkle into submission. “We’ve got two appointments this evening, and the same tomorrow and Thursday. I want to be there to make sure we hire not only who’s best suited, but, in some cases, who I know needs the work.”

“I think that’s great. I know folks here are grateful for the work and you for looking out for their best interests. They tell me so all the time.”

“Nice to hear. Thanks.” He popped his hat on his head and zipped up his coat. “Any emergencies, you know where to find me.”

“Actually, sir.”

Logan ducked his chin, bit back a sigh, then turned back to face her. “Yes?”

“It’s Ted Weathersby.”

“Isn’t it always?”

She didn’t bite, either. She also knew better. “Yes, sir. He’s left three messages today asking me to remind you of the council meeting this evening.”

“I’m well aware. He’s been informed I won’t be attending. There isn’t any business on the docket that requires my input.”

“Not as police chief, but he’s going to talk about the Pelican Point restoration project. I know he’s asked Alex to be there, too.”

Logan’s gaze narrowed. “You know this because?”

“Because he made it a point to tell me he’d talked to her. Now, don’t go getting all bunched up over it,” she told him. “From what I’ve seen, Alex has absolutely no problem keeping him in check. In fact, if I knew her better, I’d swear she actually enjoys it.”

“How so?”

“She just doesn’t take any of his nonsense. You know how he is. She’s all smiles and polite as she can be, but he doesn’t gain so much as an inch with her.
