Chapter Twenty-Three

Matt and Tate stumbled back and forth between the status quo and a new song and dance to which neither of them knew the steps. Tate had

secreted her letter away in one of her many desk drawers to go ignored and unmentioned, but there was stuff coming in for her. Lots of stuff.

Packages and high-priority interoffice mail. She was suddenly the one clocking in sil y amounts of overtime, juggling between her new

responsibilities—which they were already piling on—and getting everything sorted for Matt. She bul ied him into taking over the stuff he’d delegated

her way over the years, and each stupid report he entered was another reminder that she was going to be gone as soon as they solved their case.

It was almost enough to make him dawdle. He would have with anything else, but Charlotte was counting on them. And it sucked. Between

spending so much time with Brennan and sudden news of Tate’s imminent departure…Yet he had to solve this. And he had to do it soon. He’d

already spent too much time angsting over the sorry state of his life.

“I got Patterson’s employee profile for you.”

Thankful y she was stil the one getting the coffee. She handed him both a folder and an extra-large white peppermint mocha before heading

back to her desk. He looked at her over the rim of the cup, trying to decide how to ask delicately.

Screw it. He waved the manila folder at her. “I thought it was going to be a week or more before we got this.”

Tate didn’t bother looking up as she logged into her computer. “If they think I’m not going to abuse my new authority to help you out, they

don’t know me very wel .”

Matt hid his grin by taking a sip of coffee. It tasted better than it had yesterday. He settled the cup amid the slowly dwindling stack of papers

and flipped open the employee package. “Amos Patterson. Fifty-six. Worked for us before the restructuring, blah blah blah, stuff I already know,

performance review, McJob-level salary, clean background check…This guy was pretty much the most boring person we’ve ever had on staff, Tate.

Where’s the deep-seated psychosis? The criminal tendencies? The obvious red flags?”

“Maybe Dalhousie screwed him up.”

Matt sighed. “That’s what her reports suggest. The stuff she was messing with fucked up al of her subjects. But there’s gotta be more to it.

According to her experiment log, she only used him once. If she messed someone up that badly in such a short amount of time, shouldn’t her

capture have gone down a lot differently?” With Chris being completely psychotic. “Something must’ve happened after he left us.” Matt turned to the

last page. “Get this, it says he was—and I quote—‘dismissed due to our concerns with his loyalty to the experiments performed by Dr. Donna

Dalhousie, the bulk of which we have yet to define.’ They didn’t think that there was any chance of him continuing his employment after they closed

Dalhousie’s sick little circus. How could a person be so loyal to someone who was obviously out of their mind?”

“I ask myself the same thing every day.
