Chapter Five

Three days later Gentry wrapped up his first week on the corner to the surprise of everyone. Normally they’d only have a day, two at the most, on that particular kind of sting. Luckily for them the men, and the odd woman, that they’d busted had all been too embarrassed to rat them out to anyone. Plus, to the amusement of everyone but Gentry, he seemed to bring in record numbers during what time Dublin wasn’t outside trying to gently harass him into leaving.

After his second visit there’d been talk of shutting the entire thing down if Dublin insisted on coming around. There had been the fear of Gentry getting made or of Dublin getting caught in the middle of a collar gone wrong, but it had faded rather quickly. With Trent constantly on the lookout and Gentry wired and armed they decided that the slight risk was acceptable. Added to that was the fact that Dublin’s presence seemed to add a sort of validity to Gentry’s cover. Apparently he was as well known for handing out food and help to the street people who lingered near his club as he was for calling the police to make sure they left quickly.

The fact that he hadn’t turned Gentry in despite his usual quickness to do so raised more than a few brows around the department. But it also ensured that the other people who worked the rest of the block continued to give his corner a wide berth.

So that of course meant that instead of Gentry being back on his regular case assignment he was stuck outside in the cold while Trent laughed in his ear from inside the relatively warm hotel. His only real enjoyment came from the fact that Dublin and he had settled into a sort of pattern. Every night without fail Dublin would make his way across the street with some form of food or drink that he’d bully Gentry into taking.

Gentry had stopped really trying to refuse after the soup and had instead come to look forward to his nightly meals. He looked at it like a sort of fringe benefit, the food and the flow of conversation that had unexpectedly grown between him and Dublin. He felt connected to the man, like there might be the potential for something great to grow between them if that space wasn’t already filled with the lie of what Gentry really did for a living.

Still, it didn’t stop him from talking to Dublin about anything and everything whenever the guy showed up with whatever treat he’d decided to bring Gentry that night. Trent had been surprisingly helpful during the whole thing. He’d teased Gentry gently about his “white knight”, but besides chuckling at some of their conversations and the way Gentry couldn’t help but flirt with Dublin he’d been relatively silent. It was an unspoken rule that they wouldn’t report exactly how much time Dublin spent with Gentry each night, only that he stopped by.

When Dublin showed up that night with two coffees and a sandwich, Gentry could tell off hand that something was wrong.
