Chapter Eleven

“No strippers?” Kerry shook her head at the other three women. “If Delia were here, she’d side with me.”

“She finally got the inspector out at her new place—no way was she missing that for a mani-pedi. And it would still be two against three,” Fiona said, beaming smugly.

“My disappointment, it is deep,” Kerry replied gravely. “It’s like you all have lost your will to live.”

“Maybe we’ve just lost our will to drive several hours to see men disrobe in front of a room full of women,” Fi shot back, smiling even more sweetly.

“You all can go if you want to,” Alex said hastily. “I just—” She shrugged. “I’m good with the hot, naked guy I already have.”

“Nobody likes a spoiled winner,” Kerry said, but she was giving Alex a high-five as she did so.

Fiona groaned and clapped her hands over her eyes. “Bad images, bad images. I’m happy for you, but seriously, consider the audience.”

Kerry rolled her eyes and slung an arm around Fi’s shoulders and pulled her in for a side hug. “That reaction is precisely why you need a night at a strip club. I think you’ve forgotten what a naked man looks like. You know, one who’s not your brother.” Still grinning, she winced at Fi’s carefully placed sharp elbow to the ribs, but held on. “We can replace those bad images with some good ones. Some really, really good ones, if we’re lucky.” She waggled her newly shaped eyebrows. “A shame to waste our freshly mani-pedi’d selves on this lovely Friday night.”

“Some of us are okay without having a naked man in our life,” Fi groused, ducking out from her sister’s arm. “But you go right ahead.”

“Hannah?” Kerry said, not even remotely put off by Fiona’s comment.

“She already has a hot guy,” Fiona said. “Tim, the Titan of Finance.”

“You’ve been talking to Barb, haven’t you,” Hannah said, giving her younger sister a dark look.

“There’s a Tim? I don’t see a Tim,” Kerry said, looking around. “Do you see a Tim?”

“I thought you were with Calder Blue,” Alex said, looking confused. “Who’s Tim?”

At Alex’s comment, Fiona’s mouth dropped open and Kerry’s eyes lit up with glee. Hannah glared at them both to no avail, then looked at Alex. “Who said I was with Calder? I’m merely his—”

“Logan might have mentioned something about the two of you at the station house earlier,” Alex said, looking instantly guilty. “Don’t worry, he said nothing about your statements. Those are obviously part of the arson investigation. He just thought—you know, never mind. Boys can be dumb.”

“They can be,” Kerry agreed, her gaze still fixed on Hannah’s face. “But our big brother is usually pretty sharp. So, big sis, what’s the story? What have I missed? You just got here and already there’s something steamy going on. Does he have brothers? And you’ve got another man tucked away back in D.C.?” She pretended to wipe away a tear and mock sniffled. “And here I thought you were hopelessly uptight and prudish. I’m so proud.
