CHAPTER EIGHT

Jon Isn't Impressed

It seemed like the day was determined to drag on forever, and Jon wasn’t getting any work done. He stared listlessly at yet another loading screen, wondering why the computer he had at home seemed light-years faster.

“What’s going on with you?” Max asked from across their desks. “You’ve been off all day.”

Jon gave a deep sigh and slumped down in his chair. “It’s stupid, and I’m not interested in being laughed at, thanks.”

“Trouble with the boyfriend already?”

Jon’s eyes snapped over to the man. His tone had been neutral, but the words were loaded. Max was still on the Quinn investigation.

Max seemed to understand Jon’s reaction, and he held up his hands in a defensive gesture. “All right, all right, you don’t have to talk to me about it, but you look like you’re gonna vibrate out of your suit.”

“His ex is in town,” Jon said, sighing again. “This is ridiculous. The guy is a sleaze, it’s not like anything is going to come of it.”

“Lemme guess, he’s a good-looking sleaze?” Max asked. “I know the type. My ex-wife had this one. Used to roll into town looking to borrow money once every few years.”

Jon sighed and closed his eyes. He didn’t want to ask, but he suspected he already knew where the story was going. “Didn’t you get divorced because she cheated?”

Max chuckled, picking up his pen and pointing it in Jon’s direction before writing something on the paper in front of him and flipping the file shut. “How’d you guess, man? Yeah. It’s always the good-looking ex. Hell, I’d sleep with her if she showed up at my door.”

“That sounds . . . healthy.” Jon tried to pretend he was looking at his own work, but even if he could’ve focused, it was still stuck on the loading screen. “Do you think it’s that easy for everyone?” Jon didn’t have any serious exes in his past, and sure as heck none he’d sleep with.

Max shrugged. “I guess it depends on how serious it was. You marry a person, it’s hard to stop feeling anything. And then, when you get enough time apart, it’s easy to remember the good stuff.”

Jon didn’t know how serious Keegan and Phil had been. He didn’t know how long they had been together, or why they had separated. If only he and Keegan had been together a little longer before Phil showed up like a human wrecking ball, throwing himself at Keegan, he’d feel a little better.

“You know,” Max said thoughtfully. “If he dated Quinn while he was in the family business, we’d have a file on him.”

“And me accessing that file would be a gross misuse of FBI property,” Jon answered without even considering it. Well, maybe considering it a little bit. But what would the file say, really? The guy was a model. His worst criminal offense was liable to be jaywalking, or a DWI.

Max rolled his eyes and turned to his computer. “It’s a good thing you’re not gonna look him up, then.
