Chapter Twelve

By the time Kane got to work the next morning, he was anxious to meet with Marshal Brady and learn why the man hadn’t already disclosed which WITSEC protectees were out of pocket. When he thought about it logically, he knew Brady and the other marshals couldn’t have divulged that list of people even if he’d wanted to share. The Justice Department didn’t tell anyone, even other law enforcement, whom they were protecting. That fact rankled regardless.

The other thing that bothered Kane was the fact that Freddy was one of Luca’s friends. It bothered Kane more than he wanted to admit. He must have been in danger prior to entering the program with a new identity and if his killer had somehow located him when Luca was around… well, let’s just say, Kane hated the very idea of it. Knowing Luca had been in danger at any point in time was hard to take.

Kelly was sitting at her desk in the station house when Kane arrived, fresh out of Luca’s bed and already missing the hell out of him. She looked up and smiled at him as he strolled over.

“How are you, Delancey?” Kelly asked.

“Is Brady here yet?” he asked without preamble.

She frowned. “Oh, I’m fine. Thanks for asking, Kane. How are you? I’m great, Delancey. Happy to have beaten you to the office and put on a fresh pot of coffee. It’s ready by the way. Can I get some for you?”

Kane smirked as he plopped down at his desk across from her. He waved a hand at her. “By all means, carry on a two-sided conversation with yourself.”

“Most humans greet one another when they see each other first thing in the morning. It’s what separates us from a common platypus,” Kelly remarked, looking down at her hands. She held one up and pointed to it with the other. “That and opposable thumbs.”

Kane chuckled. “Good. You know you could use those opposable thumbs to pour me a cup of coffee and tell me if Brady is here yet.”

Kelly lifted a middle finger to convey her answer. “I’ve already had my coffee but since you’ll be pouring yourself a cup, you can top me off, misogynist.” She pushed her coffee cup across the desk at him. It read, “World’s Greatest Auntie”.

Kane chuckled again but he picked up her cup and his own mug and stood up, heading for the kitchen. “Touchy touchy, Murphy.”

“By the way, he’s not here yet!” she called out to the back of his head as he walked away.

Kane chuckled some more. He poured them both coffee in the station’s small kitchen, smiling ear to ear. He couldn’t get over the fact that he’d reconnected with Luca or that he was head over heels for him. As he walked back to their desks, he noted Kelly was holding her handset and talking into the phone. She looked up and smiled as he handed off the coffee.

“Fine. Just send it over then… yes, whatever you have. Send it and we’ll call you if we have questions, Brady.
