Chapter 10

In the middle of a murder investigation, a dog’s bladder still needs to be emptied.

Butter met Miranda at the bottom of the stairs, pulling Jean-Paul along at the end of his leash. He pranced at her feet, not exactly whining but making that sound that she knew so well by now. His brown eyes looked up at her expectantly, and his every movement was speaking to her loud and clear.

Potty. Potty now, please. The dog needs to go potty. Please, please go potty. Go potty. Go potty!

“I am sorry,” Jean-Paul said in that accented way of his. “I was trying to keep him in the dining room with Sapphire. I thought, perhaps, the smell of the food would keep him there but as you see, he has other plans.”

She took the leash from him and favored the dog with a smile to let him know it would be okay. “That’s all right, Jean-Paul. He just needs to take a walk.”

“Didn’t you just take him for one when we got here?” Jack asked her.

“Yes, we did, but I don’t make you use the toilet just once a day, do I?”

Color reddened his face as he thought about it. “Uh, no. You’ve got a point there. Fine. Take him out but be careful. Can you lock this up in our van while you’re out there?”

He handed her the book, Colony 41, and Miranda took it with a questioning look. “Okay. I won’t be long.”

“Take Sapphire with you, okay? From now on none of us are going to be by ourselves. One of these people is a killer and I don’t want any of us alone with any of them until we figure this out. In fact, I’m going to call and have a couple of patrol officers come down here from the scene. Might have to be the Aussie Feds, because my guys are stretched really thin, but I’ll take what we can get.”

“Um. Maybe Jean-Paul should stay with Sapphire, then?” Miranda said, flicking her eyes up to where Kyle floated, offended and with his arms crossed, glaring down at Jack. “I won’t be alone. I’ll have… Butter,” she decided to say, even though both she and Jack knew that she meant her ghostly companion.

“Oh. Oh, right,” Jack stuttered, realizing his mistake. “Uh, right. Yes. Jean-Paul, could you go back and sit with Sapphire for now? I’ll be sure to come in and tell you guys what’s happening as soon as I know more.”

“Of course,” was the immediate answer. Jean-Paul would have no problem sitting with Sapphire. If ever a man was falling hard for a woman, it was this man, right here. Miranda thought it was cute, even considering the circumstances.

Jack gave her a not-so-quick kiss on her cheek. “I’m serious. Be careful out there. If you see anything suspicious or strange, then you and the pooch haul tail back here.”

She kissed him back, square on his mouth. She loved the feel of his lips. “Don’t worry. I won’t do anything stupid.
