Maria trudged into the Black Sun with a deep frown on her face. She moved through the crowd, the crowd of men parting instinctively as she made her way to the bar. No one wanted to be on AET’s radar.

Tyler set a beer down in front of her before she’d sat on her stool. “You look pissed. Not that it’s a new look for you, but just saying.”

The cop gulped some beer before answering. “I’ve just been looking into why the state’s pushing back against Brownstone’s adoption. Getting a lot of suspicious stonewalling. I was wondering if you could look into some of that. I know government snooping isn’t your normal wheelhouse, but something smells here, so I thought you might be able to find shit that I can’t.” She smirked. “Besides, most politicians are criminals, and criminals are your thing.”

The bartender shrugged. “When I asked you about Brownstone earlier, I was curious more than anything. It’s not like we have to help him.”

“Don’t we?” Maria quirked a brow.

Tyler blinked. “Why would we? This isn’t some crazy bounty coming after him. This is the government we’re talking about.”

“Maybe you don’t give a shit, but it’s my job.”

“How is it your job? I mean, the girl seems cool enough and all, but how is helping Brownstone by poking the government your job?” Tyler stared at her, confusion written all over his face.

Maria took another long drag of her beer. “My job is to make the city safe, right?”

“Yeah, but that doesn’t have fuck-all to do with an adoption.”

She shook her head. “Wrong. One of the reasons this city is safe is because of Brownstone. I bet if Brownstone had been in town when Tessa Vansant showed up, there wouldn’t have been a farmer’s market massacre. So, anyone fucking with Brownstone is fucking with the safety of the city.” She pointed her beer bottle at Tyler. “So, yeah, my job.”

“Okay, fair enough.” Tyler shrugged. “But that doesn’t make it my job. I’m not a cop.”

Maria smirked. “It’s in your best interests that this city not be turned into a crater.”

“Still…”

She leaned forward. “And if you want that date Friday night, you’re going to help me.”

Tyler blinked. “What date?”

Maria winked. “Going to play along, or what?”

“Okay, okay.” The bartender shrugged. “I’ll sniff around, but I’m not guaranteeing anything.”

“That’s all I ask.”
