CHAPTER SIXTEEN

Faith slammed the door to her apartment closed, but Michael caught it and shut it gently, so she didn’t even get that satisfaction.

“Damn it!” she shouted. “Fuck!”

Michael stiffened, but then shrugged. “Well, I guess they won’t be your neighbors for much longer.”

“Fuck the neighbors!” she said. “Damn it!”

Turk whined and nudged her gently. She sighed and ruffled his fur. “Yeah, I know. It just sucks. I really thought we had it figured out.”

“Yeah,” Michael said, “Me too. But hey, you never know. Maybe they’ll find something in the pills.”

Faith sighed. “No, they won’t. Even if they do, it won’t make a difference. MDMA is one of the most common drugs to find in a tox screen. So’s meth. They would have found that without needing to send it to the state lab.”

Michael nodded. “Yeah. They would have.”

“Damn it!”

“I know.”

Faith sat at her table and rested her chin on her hands. She bit her lip and looked pensively at the wall. Michael headed to the freezer and pulled out the microwave meals she had bought from the liquor store. “Glad I threw these in here before we went to the bistro. I’m going to make yours first, and you’re going to eat it.”

“I’m not hungry.”

"Yes, you are. You don't think you are because you're pissed, but you are. And you need fuel. So you're going to eat no matter what else we do tonight."

“What else are we going to do? We don’t have any more leads. We’re back to square one again.” She let her head drop into her hands. “God! What are the odds? How do three people by drugs from the same person at the same place the day each of them dies and their drug dealer isn’t the killer?”

“We still don’t know that for sure. We should at least wait until they—” his phone buzzed. He read the text, and his shoulders slumped. “Okay. Now we know that for sure.”

“The pills are clean?”

“That’s not the word I would use to describe a hallucinogen, but yes, they’re clean. Pure MDMA.”

Faith sighed. “All right. Make me dinner. Might as well eat as long as I’m staring at a wall.”

“Sounds good. Is Turk on a schedule with his food, or do you just feed him anything?”

“I thawed him a steak last night. You can give him that. Just fry it on the stove for a few minutes.”

“Sure thing. You’re eating good tonight, boy.”

Turk barked enthusiastically but then turned back to Faith and whined. When Faith headed to the living room, he followed her and immediately put his head on her lap. She chuckled and began scratching him behind the ears. “I love you, boy. You’re amazing.”

Turk held her gaze with the most beautiful brown eyes she had ever seen, and Faith felt the tension ease. “I’ll tell you a secret. I think I love you even more than I love David.”

“More than you love me?” Michael called.

She kept her eyes on Turk and said, “And so, so much more than I love Michael.
