Chapter Ten

By the time Eddy and Samantha walked up to Jo’s villa, she was waiting for them outside the door. She leaned one shoulder up against the doorway and had her arms folded over her chest. Eddy could see the arrogance in her expression. He knew that she had an idea about what he was going to ask her to do.

“What’s up guys?” She looked from Samantha to Eddy, then back to Samantha again. Eddy could already tell by the squint of her eyes that she wasn’t altogether pleased.

“Can we talk inside?” Eddy asked and gestured towards the door.

“I guess.” She opened the door and allowed them to walk through. Jo was not the type to invite people over too often. Once inside she turned to face them. “So, what is it?”

“Listen Jo, you know we’re looking into this bank robbery. I’m just wondering if you might be able to help us out.” He looked at her with a hint of remorse in his eyes.

“Ah, you need my skills do you?” She winked at Samantha. When she looked back at Eddy she tilted her head to the side. “It’s amazing that an old cop like you appreciates my talents now.” She smiled.

“All right, all right, don’t rub it in. Will you help us or not?”

“Hm. Yup.” She laughed a little. “I have nothing better to do. Where and what?”

“It’s a man’s house. His name is Derek Quinns. We suspect he is the one who actually robbed the bank. But with no proof whatsoever it’s going to be difficult to prove that.”

“Yes, we overheard him talking to the suspected mastermind of the crime. We’re sure he’s involved. But we need evidence.” Samantha frowned. “Maybe if we can get a look inside of his place, we’ll be able to find something.”

“I understand.” Jo nodded.

“I overheard him saying he’s working tonight,” Eddy explained.

“I just need a little time to get everything prepared.”

“I’ll go with you.” Eddy spoke with determination.

“Aw.” Jo patted Eddy’s cheek with a palm slightly roughened by her gardening. “That’s sweet, hon, but I work alone.”

Eddy narrowed his eyes. Jo was one of very few people that could easily make him feel like he had no ground to stand on. “It’s not safe. I’d rather be there to make sure that you’re okay.”

“I’ll be fine. I’ll let you know what I find when I find it.” She glanced over at Samantha. “You can keep him company until then, right?”

Samantha frowned. “Maybe Eddy’s right, Jo. You didn’t see this woman. She seemed pretty vicious and seemed to know exactly what she was doing.”

“Hmm. A vicious woman. Sounds like we would get along. I’m not concerned. You came to me to ask for help. If you want me to give it I will, but it’s going to be on my terms. I don’t want to have to worry about what you’re up to, or if you threw your back out, Eddy.” She pursed her lips with a hint of amusement in her eyes.

Eddy glared at her.
