âI said, drop the meatball, Detective,â Red repeated, and he noticed Sofia was turning a rather alarming shade of crimson.
âYeah, sorry,â he murmured, replacing the fried goody and grabbing another tofu taco instead.
Forty down, and he was still going. He had to admit this Maude knew her tacos. The tofu was so light and balanced, shredded and seasoned to perfection.
Topped with a cabbage, carrot, onion, tomato, avocado, cilantro, and lime slaw, it was freaking exceptional. Sheâd even added tiny little cups of jalapenos for those, like Sergio, who liked a little kick with their tofu.
âNever touch her meatballs,â the hedgehog whispered, bringing him back to the present.
He raised his eyebrows, not realizing the seriousness of the situation until Tony went to calm his mate. Yikes. Pregnant females were scary AF.
âOh, you have a little cilantro lime sauce. Hang on,â Red said, leaning over with a napkin and touching it to Sergioâs lips.
His bull growled deep in his chest, and the female stilled her movements. Up close, she was even prettier. All golden skin and spiky locks, plump pink lips, and one lone beauty mark just below her left ear. Damn, she was a beauty, all right.
âSergio, why donât you go on and tell us why you suspect Sammi of being your identity thief,â Sofia interrupted, and his hedgie moved back abruptly.
Sad moo.
âLook, itâs nothing personal, Red,â he began to explain.
âSo, you are investigating stolen identities and decided because I have the same name as one of your victims, I must be the thief?â
âNo. I think you stole her name, Red. I think you took her acceptance letter and decided to have a go at the Academy. She was a top student back home. Honor roll. An athlete. The works. Iâve seen your record. It just doesnât jive. You gotta admit itâs convincing.â Tony shrugged and stood up, already clearing the remnants of their massive and delicious takeout from MMM.
âReally?â Sofia pinned her mate with a steely glare.
âUhâ¦â Tony cleared his throat and turned to the counter, âHow about some strawberries, doll? I had Maude slice you some with lemon and that fine sugar to dip them in?â
âReally?â the female softened.
Sergio shook his head. The byplay between the couple was entertaining for sure but dizzying as well. Still, he envied them every public display of affection and tender moment.
Soon, his bull offered.
âNo, I get it,â Red said, crazy brown eyes glued to his face.
âRed, Iââ
âItâs okay. You have a job to do. So, I think you should do it.â
âWhat?â
âProve it.â
âI donât think you understandââ
âLook, I need you to solve this thing, guilty or innocent,â she said.
âSammi, shush!â Sofia looked up.
Grrr.
âNo, Sof. Heâs a detective, and this is his case. It is for the best if he solves it.â
âBut what if he finds evidence, Sammi?â Sofia whispered, and the chinchillaâs eyes glistened with unshed tears that Redâs own amber gaze echoed. âSammi, you donât get it. Shifter prison is bad. Like really bad. I just canât lose you!â
Soon they were sobbing in each otherâs arms, and Tony was growling at him.
