Chapter 11

“You don’t really believe Cleo killed her ex, do you, Win?” I asked a couple of hours after they’d taken her away.

He scowled. “I most certainly do not, but I’d give an ungodly amount of money to see the evidence they have to prove she was at the scene of the crime. Starsky said, and I repeat, ‘we have you on camera, leaving the scene of the crime,” Win repeated, in probably one of the worst New York accents I’d ever heard.

Wrinkling my nose, I laughed at him. “Yikes. That was horrible.”

“My accent or the evidence?”

“Both.” Sighing, I grabbed the broom again and continued to sweep. “So do you think Starsky was just blowing hot air, or do you think he really has her on camera? Because I think we both know he can be a real jerkface and make things up if they support his case. I know that firsthand.”

I’d been through an interrogation with Detective Moore and he was all bother and bluff, but if you were easily intimidated, I could see being afraid of him, and I hated the idea Cleo was in some dark room, cowering while he screamed at her. Knowing Luis was on his way made everything better.

“I would certainly hope he wasn’t bluffing to try and get her to admit something before questioning her thoroughly. Isn’t that entrapment of some kind? Or is it leading the witness? I find the American court systems so confusing.”

Shrugging, I replied with only a little sarcasm, “I don’t know. Ask your tattletale friend Dana. He’s well-versed in the law. I know because he throws it in my face every chance he gets.”

Win’s handsome face fell. “Now, Dove. I won’t have this come between us. If you’d like, I’ll wrestle Dana to the ground, put him in a choke hold and bloody refuse to let go until he agrees to believe we, as a team, see and hear ghosts.”

The mental imagery made me laugh out loud, but I shook my head and sighed. “I don’t want that.”

“Then what do you want, beloved? I’m always on your side and your side alone—no matter the circumstance. If it troubles you that Dana isn’t all the way there, I won’t see him until he is.”

My heart shifted in my chest, but that wasn’t at all what I wanted, either. “No. He’s your friend, and he should remain so if you’re not upset by him essentially calling you a liar. As an ex-spy, I guess you’re used to waiting around for a solution. Your patience is much more bountiful than mine. I, on the other hand, need space. But I would never tell you that you can’t remain friends with someone you care so much about. That’s not how we work.”

“Thank the bloody stars,” Win joked, wiping his hand across his brow in a comical gesture. “I was worried I’d have to give up his artichoke dip on NFL Sundays. You know how much I cherish that dip, Dove.”

I had to agree, it was pretty stinkin’ good.
