Mark walked back into his office two hours later. He’d also gone to talk to a retired cop who’d worked the Logan cold case he and Jake were just assigned to look at. Thankfully, murder wasn’t an everyday occurrence in their precinct, and the further from Houston you got, the fewer bodies dropped. But anytime there wasn’t a new murder, their boss threw cold cases on them. Not that Mark minded. He’d rather have a case than sit around waiting for someone to get killed. And he kind of liked solving cases that others before him had failed at. So far, he and Jake had solved three cold cases this year.

While Mark had visited with the retired detective, Henry Owens, Jake was supposed to be chasing down the old witnesses on the telephone. Mark carried in a bag from the fancy vegetarian sandwich shop down the street from the precinct. It wasn’t until he almost turned into the precinct’s parking lot that he realized he hadn’t eaten anything all day.

“How’d it go?” Jake asked, popping his head into Mark’s office.

“I took notes, but most everything he told me was in the files.”

“Not the case, the other thing.”

“What other thing?” He opened the bag of food he’d bought on the way back to the precinct and pulled out one of the grilled mushroom and provolone sandwiches. “Did you eat? I got an extra to make up for not bringing your breakfast. It’s even vegetarian, so your wife would approve.” Unlike Jake, Macy was a vegetarian.

Jake smirked. “I ate.”

“Bet it wasn’t vegetarian.”

“I had them make the double burger a single, I figure that counts for something.”

“I’ll bet it still had bacon on it,” Mark teased.

“Just one slice.” Jake frowned. “But stop talking about my eating habits just to change the subject. I know you went to see your hot neighbor. It’s written all over your face.”

“Bullshit.” Mark focused on pulling the paper off the sandwich. But he realized he was smiling. He looked back up at Jake and thought what the hell. “Fine. I went to see her. We’re having dinner tonight.”

“You and your neighbor?” A feminine voiced piped up from the door.

Macy moved in, dressed in a gray business suit that showed off her curves.

“Look at you. All lawyerly and everything. And showing some leg, too. Nice,” Mark said.

“Yeah, the pizza uniform was better, wasn’t it?” She grinned.

“You look good in whatever you wear,” Mark said.

“Quit hitting on my wife,” Jake said, brushing a kiss to her cheek. “How did the interview go?”

Macy wrapped an arm around Jake’s waist. “Great. I may have the job.” She looked back at Mark. “That smells good. Is that from the vegetarian sandwich shop?”

“Yup. I got one for Jake here, but he turned his nose up.” Mark reached into the bag and held it out.

“I’m starved! I was too nervous to eat before the interview.” She grabbed the sandwich and looked back at her husband. “They said they would call me in two weeks.
