Three months later

“I miss you,” I say into my cell phone, walking toward Ridge City PD headquarters.

Hendrix’s beautiful, musical laugh fills my ear. “You just left me thirty minutes ago, silly.”

“I know. And I miss you.”

“Well, hurry back to me then,” she says in a husky murmur.

“As soon as I can,” I promise. “I’ve got a very special date planned for you tonight.”

“Oh? I thought last night was pretty special.”

“We never left your bedroom.”

“Precisely.”

I grin, my toes curling. “Ah. Well, this date involves actually leaving the house. We need to take advantage, you know. Once the next academy class starts, I’m going to be Ridge City PD’s little bitch.”

“True,” she says. “You don’t sound too upset about it though. I’d say you sound elated.”

“I definitely am.” How could I not be? My dad got my drug charge dropped from my record following my work with the Program. Judo sang like a little bird, giving up his extensive clientele list—my friend being on it—as well as his suppliers.

Finally, being a police captain’s son paid off. My dad and I are closer than ever, and I finally got the chance to follow in his footsteps. I just missed the academy class that’s about to graduate in a couple months, where I hear another former Recruit is training to be a full-fledged officer. But my chance is on the horizon, and now it feels like my future opened up.

And in more ways than one—I’ve been looking for a new, bigger, nicer apartment to live in, and hopefully, I won’t be moving by myself. I plan to ask Hendrix to move in with me. I’m sure she’s going to say yes.

Finally, I reach the doors and head inside. “Gotta go, Henny-Bunny,” I say, and grin at her hiss of amused annoyance at the nickname only I call her. “Time to interview a new recruit.”

“Talk to you later,” she says. “And Colin? I love you.”

I smile into the phone. “I love you more.”

Then I ride the elevator up to my dad’s office, where he and an arson detective are chatting. A few minutes later, there’s a knock on the door.

“Come in,” my dad says.

My friend Khalil Robinson steps in. We went to the university together and had a few of the same general classes. Then he went on to study journalism and now runs a very successful investigative reporting website.

His handsome face is apprehensive but also sharply keen. “Hey, Colin,” he says, glancing around the room. “What’s this all about?”

I exchange a look with my dad, then smile at my friend. “Khalil, we want to talk to you about a special opportunity with Ridge City PD. Top secret. You interested in hearing more?”

His dark eyes hold my gaze for a long moment. I can practically see the wheels in his brain turning.

Then he shuts the door behind him, takes a seat, and folds his hands. His white teeth flash against his dark-bronze skin.

“Absolutely.”
