Chapter 13

Keira had spent most of her day researching known members of organized crime in Chicago. She tamped down the guilt that kept trying to rear its sensible head and scrolled through arrest records, undercover reports, and eyewitness accounts.

Finn’s insights had been good, if you could ignore the ethical and moral issues of taking advice from a mobster. He’d suggested other possible avenues to examine in the case. She’d been reluctantly impressed with Finn’s knowledge of evidence and murder. She didn’t want to think too hard about how he’d acquired the knowledge, but it was substantial, and he’d laid out some compelling reasons it could have been someone other than Cian.

Keira wondered at what point she’d become the kind of cop who would consort with criminals to add to her win column. But if she were truly honest with herself, it wasn’t because she wanted the win so badly. No, what was really driving her was the look on Finn’s face when she talked about arresting his brother. After hearing Cian talk about Finn, watching Liam and Finn together in that hospital room, feeling the unbreakable bond these men had to one another, she was having a hard time with the idea of arresting Cian.

Keira had grown up with an image of her father rather than the real man. She’d modeled her life on his for as long as she could remember, but she was the first to admit that he might as well have been a celebrity she watched on the television. She’d been left with no siblings and a mother who spent much of her time being angry at her husband’s neglect, or in despair at his death. As a child, Keira had latched on to the stories she heard, the myths and legends of her father’s time in the CPD. It had driven her for years now.

But what if that wasn’t enough? What if there was something else worth her effort? What if there was a world out there where people loved you, like Finn and his brothers loved one another? What if simply being the most famous detective in the CPD wasn’t the only goal worth pursuing?’

She gave herself a little shake and resolved to simply focus on this particular task at this particular moment. Hell, maybe all this would jar something loose that the rest of the investigation hadn’t. Maybe she’d find something that pointed to someone other than Cian for real.

The sound of her phone ringing from her desk drawer grabbed her attention.

"This is Watson," she answered.

"Agent Wagner here, Detective."

Her lip curled in distaste. "Yes?"

He chuckled. "It’s apparently your lucky day. I have someone in custody at MCC and he’s asking to speak to you."

Her heart skipped a beat. "To me?"

"Says he has information about a case in CPD’s jurisdiction. The Danny O’Reilly murder."

She paused, her gaze narrowing on the computer screen in front of her. Somehow, she’d thought they’d give her a warning, tell her Cian was about to turn himself in. This was so…unexpected.
