‘Have you two met?’ Rose asked Shane, trying to get him to look anywhere else than at her.

‘Yeah,’ Brody said. ‘Earlier.’

Rose pressed her lips together and gripped her glass.

‘How about we go outside for a little while?’ Shane asked. ‘It’s getting a little too warm in here for me.’

A strong breeze skittered across the fabric awning, keeping the other customers inside for their dinners. It was Rose’s opportunity to get more information about the case, but why couldn’t she force her legs to move? She sipped from the glass and pushed forward, hoping Shane didn’t notice the wobble in her step.

Once outside, the air cooled her skin. It was refreshing and she was happy for the reprieve. She’d been alone with Shane before and wondered why now she felt awkward about it.

Was it the fact that she’d planned this entire party for him and had yet to get to the real meat of what she wanted?

She took another swig of the wine before asking, ‘How’s the case going?’

Shane shrugged. ‘It’s going.’

That wasn’t good enough. She’d planned a party for this guy. Missy had embarrassed the hell out of her; she was getting something from him.

‘You find anything else about the girl?’ she asked.

He nodded and shifted his gaze to the rest of the room.

‘I won’t say anything,’ she said. ‘As you know, I’m invested in the case. I want to help if I can.’

‘You’ve helped,’ he said.

Just when she thought she had him opening up, he shut down again like a threatened clam. Was this party a waste of everyone’s time?

She looked out toward the dark ocean. Hearing the crash of the waves and not seeing the dangerous waters a short distance away made it easier on her nerves.

‘I’ll share what I can,’ Shane said after a few minutes. ‘Even though I came from a busy department, I still have to prove myself around here.’
