Chapter 14

Jen pulled in Jerry’s driveway and killed the engine. She sat in her car for a few moments, mental and emotional weight pressing down on her. She’d never felt this drained in her life before. All she wanted was a shower, some food, and to drop into bed. And then she would do it all over again tomorrow. At least she had the weekend off. And maybe a date on Saturday? She shoved that thought aside. She couldn’t deal with thoughts of Coleton right now. His face popped in her mind anyway. He was a mystery all right. She wondered what Sgt. Foley thought of him. Sgt. Foley’s face replaced Coleton's in her mind. The memory of his strong features, calming smile, and broad shoulders soothed her. She pushed open her car door and plodded towards the house.

As she entered the house, she turned to lock the door and saw a truck pull in behind her car in the driveway. It wasn’t Jerry. He was picking up Sara from the airport and wouldn’t be back for hours if the traffic was bad. She locked the door anyway and waited to see who exited the truck.

Confusion spread across her face as Sgt. Foley got out. Anxiety spread ticklish wings in her chest. Had she done something wrong? Was something wrong with Ivy or Ryker? Why would he come to her home? He caught her eye through the glass and gave her a smile and a wave. She pulled in a deep breath and decided it must not be that bad. He didn’t seem angry or upset. The anxiety was replaced by a queer sort of pleasure that made her smile involuntarily. She opened the door and looked at him expectantly.

“Hi Jen, sorry to come to your home, but I have something to tell you, do you mind if I come in?”

Jen shook her head and held the door open for him, catching his scent as he walked by. He smelled good, like wood chips and soap, and maybe a bit of leather? She shook her head and laughed at herself. Why was she trying to identify what he smelled like? She steered him towards the table and had him sit down.

“Would you like some tea or coffee?”

He looked at her hard, like it was an important decision, and then sighed. “Coffee would be great.” Jen started a pot and then sat down across from him, noticing for the first time that his eyes were a gorgeous and unusual shade of gray-green.

He got right down to business. “First let me say that I’m not supposed to be telling you this, and if anyone in the department finds out I did, I could lose my job.” Jen’s eyebrows went up. She clenched her fingers into her palms tightly, the thought of him losing his job creating real fear inside her.

He took a deep breath and told her everything the retiring Sgt. Poole had told him. And then he sat back and waited for her reaction.
