CHAPTER TWELVE

“I never did like the silent treatment,” Allie said as she walked through the front door of Mitch’s home, unable to stand the enforced silence anymore. The car ride would have been made in relative peace had he not come across as a powder keg ready to explode. “It’s like shunning me after I got thrown off the island. You know better than anyone that this is a way to bring an end to the investigation. We all make sacrifices in order to accomplish the mission. Does that sound familiar?”

The blazer she’d been wearing had been perfect to keep the cold at bay during the day, but it hadn’t been heavy enough for the cold front that seemed to have settled over the area after the trick or treaters had gone in for the night. She didn’t bother to take it off as she turned around to get this brewing confrontation out of the way. The sooner the better, as far as she was concerned.

“What I know is that you purposefully put yourself in harm’s way on a case that isn’t even yours in the first place.” Mitch punched the alarm code into the small square panel before he closed the front door.

Mitch didn’t bother to reply to her rationalization, leaving her no choice but to follow him into the kitchen if she wanted to continue this conversation. They needed to get things out in the open or else his anger would continue to fester. Dragging this thing out wasn’t in anyone’s best interest.

“Thorne called his supervisor, I contacted mine, and everyone is in agreement that this plan can work. It’s the best option available to us as it stands right now, Mitch. Even you can see that it’s obvious.” Allie stopped and leaned against the side of the archway between the living room and the kitchen as Mitch began to set the coffee maker for the morning. At first, she thought he was actually making a fresh pot at twenty-two hundred hours. It wasn’t until he began to adjust the timer that she realized he was programming the appliance for tomorrow morning. Some habits were just
