“Oh?”

“Tell you what.” She leaned forward, her elbow on her thigh. “It must be near your quitting time. Why don’t we go somewhere for dinner and I’ll tell you all about it?”

From the corner of his eye, Paavo saw Rebecca staring at him. Benson gave him a thumbs’ up. Calderon rose from his desk and, on the pretense of searching for something, moved closer to Paavo. “You can tell me about it now,” Paavo said.

“But this is a long story, and I have a restaurant to review. Arbuckle’s, on the wharf. It’ll be my treat.”

Greg McAndrews, owner of Arbuckle’s, was one of the restaurateurs at both Wielund’s and Chick’s memorial services. Might be worth going. He glanced up to see that Calderon’s frown had grown deeper. Yes, Paavo decided, it was definitely worth going. It’d give Calderon more to fret about, and it’d help pass the time waiting for Angie to call. If she hadn’t left a message by the time dinner was over, he’d stop by her apartment and probably strangle her.

“Sounds good.” He picked up his jacket and led her past gaping looks as they walked out of the squad room.

Arbuckle’s Seafood Restaurant was small and intimate. After Greg McAndrews greeted Nona lavishly, they were given a secluded table, with a view of the bay, and two waiters who hovered nearby to fill their every whim. Paavo saw what it meant to be a well-known restaurant critic in this town.

Nona perused the menu. “I’ve been told the food here is elegant. I’ll order, if you don’t mind.”
