Maisie was furious as Jack and Brian showed her into the interview room at the police station. They’d pulled out all the stops when transporting her back to town, including locking her in the backseat of the cruiser. She was beyond mortified when they walked her in through the front door of the building.

“I’m going to sue you,” she hissed as Jack pulled out a chair for her to sit in. “You’ve gone too far this time and I’m totally going to sue you.”

“That’s certainly your prerogative,” Jack said dryly. “We can give you the name of the township attorney when you’re leaving.”

“If she leaves,” Brian corrected, sliding into the chair at the head of the table and fixing Maisie with a pointed stare. “Is there anything you want to say to us before we start?”

“Yes.” Maisie bobbed her head. “I’m going to sue the crap out of you. I hope you enjoy living on skid row.”

“I don’t really think Shadow Lake has a skid row,” Jack pointed out.

“No?” Maisie’s expression turned into a sneer. “How about I take that little cottage your girlfriend loves so much from her after my lawsuit? How will you like that?”

Jack could feel the skin on the back of his neck heating as rage threatened to overtake him. He managed to wrestle his impulses into submission, but just barely. “I look forward to the attempt,” he said as he took his seat. “That will be a neat trick.”

Maisie expected to get different reactions out of the two men and she was frustrated when they remained calm. She considered herself a good judge of character and she was certain Jack wanted to explode. The fact that he didn’t gave her pause.

“What do you want from me?” she asked after a beat, adopting her most reasonable tone. “I can’t help but feel as if we’re getting off on the wrong foot here. I’m a law-abiding citizen. All you have to do is tell me what you want and I’ll make it happen.” She practically purred the words while flirting through demure eyelashes as she smiled at Jack.

“We want to know about your relationship with Jason Fortin,” Jack replied brusquely. “How long have you been involved?”

Maisie wrinkled her nose. She was used to men reacting to her, even if they didn’t like her. The fact that Jack could so easily ignore her attempts to flirt with him was bothersome. “I’m not involved with anyone. I’m open for offers.” She tried another smile, one that had never let her down.

“Jason told his mother you two were seeing each other,” Brian argued. “He mentioned your name specifically. Why would he say that if it wasn’t true?”

Maisie scowled. “I don’t know. You’ll have to ask Jason.”

“We would be thrilled to talk to Jason,” Jack noted. “In fact, we’re looking for him. Do you know where we might be able to find him?”

Maisie glanced between faces and held out her hands. “I’m not his keeper. Now, is that all? I need to get going.
