Chapter 18

Mayfield was filling out reports from the interview with Christy Nelson that morning. She hadn’t been much help, and her attitude had been irritating at first. But he understood her motivation to protect a man she clearly trusted. He couldn’t fault her for being loyal. And more importantly, he knew she was honest. He’d believed her story about her SEAL. He’d known a few SEALs, even tried the BUD/S course during his ten-year stint in the Navy. But since he wanted to fly jets, he wasn’t too disappointed when he washed out. In the end, he’d had to give up flying, too, due to his eyesight.

The SEALs he’d met socially, in the Navy and through his line of work, stuck together and usually cleaned up their own messes. This was all too public and out of control. Something was wrong with the picture. It was starting to smell, too, as the body count was increasing.

This investigation was just not making sense and was going in circles. He’d watched the news report this morning about the late night fire, and it really worried him. That’s probably what prompted the call, before he could finish breakfast. He was asked to bring lots of backup, and be armed.

No, the deeper he investigated, the more things didn’t add up.

The task force, made up of members of the ATF, SDPD, and the San Diego Sheriff’s Department, plus a Naval Officer he’d never met before, had three murders to investigate now, and for some reason, he felt there would be more. That was definitely not going in the right direction. His superiors were screaming at everyone, indiscriminately, while publically and on camera telling the media they had utmost faith in their men and women and that the perps would be caught. The public was now aware of the Navy angle. He wondered how they had gotten wind of that particular fact. Feeling in the San Diego area ran either hot or cold for sailors. Not much left in the middle. He didn’t want those emotions tainting his investigation.

He looked up to see Sherriff’s Deputy Warren Hilber stride through the office doors and glamour the staffers and officers like he was a vampire at a sweet sixteen ball. Mayfield didn’t like him and he sure as hell didn’t trust him. Hilber’s sidekick of recent was that jerk-off from the Navy, Carlisle with a big fat III after his name, the one who wanted to join his force some day. Mayfield would never allow either the deputy or the Navy tin cop anywhere near his squad if he could help it.

Only, he wasn’t sure he could help it.

He knew they were coming in to see him. Every time he talked with Hilber, he felt like punching his lights out, effectively ending his own career. Something dirty about the man.

Warren knocked on Mayfield’s opened doorframe. And then he smiled.

Shit. Let the games begin.

“Come on in, fellas. You guys off today?”

“No sir, we’re just getting revved up. Got real close to catching that rogue SEAL and his merry band of men last night.
