Chapter Nineteen

Wade threw another ball of trash into the far corner wastebasket and yes, pretended like it was a basketball. No one watched. No one was around. The nine-to-fivers had left for the day. He still had a couple more files to get through to meet his daily goal.

The door opened, the wind whipping it all the way back as Jack arrived.

“This better be good.” He looked around at the empty office. “And hopefully on the books this time.”

“I should be back out there, fighting criminals or helping on one of the weirdest cases of a lifetime,” he said aloud, instead of just thinking it for once.

Sick of sitting behind a desk, Wade was living vicariously through his fellow rangers. Waiting on a call or information. Wanting to be right about his hunch. Setting up meetings between Slate and Jack.

“What you need to do is keep your nose clean until the major says otherwise,” Jack told him. “We can handle things. Even the weird stuff.”

The door opened again. Slate escorted a woman who must have been Vivian Watts to his desk across from Wade.

“You know I could run some of those names Heath sent you.”

“No!” both Slate and Jack said together. They startled Vivian and both gave him a look like he was crazy.

“I can work the list,” Jack said. “I’ll be patrolling most of those neighborhoods anyway.”

Obviously, Slate had already spoken to him about what needed to be done.

The outer office door burst open and Heath marched in, heavy boots on the worn linoleum. “Is my TV still in one piece?” he asked Slate, referring to the fight that had taken place in their living room.

“As a matter of fact, it’s better than my head,” Slate replied.

Vivian Watts sat on the edge of the conversation, obviously paying attention and purposely restraining her opinion. It was obvious since she had eyes only for her hero...Slate.

Heath gave her a strange look. Maybe he recognized the shirt she wore was one of Slate’s. But what was strange about that? All her clothes were gone in a fire. And yet, Slate seemed preoccupied until Jack had mentioned the list they were waiting on from Heath. Then Slate had been quick to jump in that it had been Vivian’s idea.

Dammit, Slate. You’re falling for her?

“Have you found anything significant with Allan Pinkston’s background check?” Jack asked.

“I guess Slate hasn’t gotten to the Ps on the sleep-study list.”

“Pinkston’s on it?” Slate asked. “This doesn’t make sense.”

“Do you think he’s Subject Nineteen?” Vivian asked, turning all the men’s heads toward her. Which in turn had them all looking at Slate.

“Maybe we should talk in the hall?” Jack suggested.

“Be right back, Vivian.” Slate almost cooed.

“Stay.” Jack looked at Wade with the direct order.

“Looks like I’m keeping you company for a while,” Wade said to Vivian. “I’m Wade Hamilton and I assume you’re Vivian. Guess they forgot we haven’t met. You getting along with Slate okay?”

He already knew the answer. Her blush confirmed his suspicions as his fellow rangers disappeared into the hallway.
