Saul

“There’s a woman in a cell asking for you,” Sarah said.

Saul looked up from his desk, feeling like death warmed up, his hangover killing him. “What’s her name?”

Sarah leaned against the doorframe. “Kara. I can’t remember her last name, other than it rhymes with her personality.”

“Eh?”

“She’s a bitch.”

Exhaling loudly, Saul pushed out of his chair, knowing exactly who it was. “That’ll be Kara Radich. What’s she in for?”

“Apparently she assaulted her boyfriend, knocking him out.”

His eyebrows shot up. “As in Dante Rata?”

“Yeah, that gorgeous guy involved in the Torres case.” She shook her head. “If I had a man like that, I wouldn’t be knocking him out, I’d be—”

“Sarah,” Saul said in a warning tone.

She crossed her arms over her chest. “It’s a comment, not an action, and it’s not like you should comment after I had to drive your drunk arse home. You were supposed to be watching that woman, not fucking her.”

Saul ran a hand over his head. “I know, and I regret what I did.”

“I bet you do. You’re wincing at everything, not to mention sweating like a bastard. You’ve only just gotten back to work; you can’t go out drinking all night and fucking kids.”

“Josie isn’t a kid, she’s twenty-one.”

“While you’re thirty-eight, you dirty old man.”

Saul glared at her. “How about you keep your nose out of my private life?”

“No. I’m concerned about you, Saul. That’s why I’m commenting on it, and you were the one who asked me to drive you home. That wasn’t part of my job; I did it because you’re my friend, so don’t get all high and mighty with me, I won’t stand for it.”

Saul exhaled. “Just give me a break this time; I’ve got one hell of a headache.”

“And we know who’s to blame for that.”

“Sarah—”

“I know, give poor hungover you a break. Well, I guess I have to, since you need to go deal with that Kara woman.”

Saul walked around his desk. “Is Dante Rata all right?”

“Yeah, it was only a concussion. Kara claims it was an accident, while the other woman said it was an assault.”

“What other woman?” Saul asked, hoping it wasn’t Beth.

“The one involved in the Torres case—Beth Connor.”

Saul swore in his head. “Is she here?”

“No, Kara’s claiming Beth’s framed her. As if. I’ve met Beth and she was nice—unlike that screaming banshee.” Sarah placed a finger in her ear and wiggled it about. “Man, she’s got a pair of powerful lungs on her. My ears are still ringing from going near that bitch.”

“You still need to get someone to question Dante before you take anything further with Kara.”

A cheeky smile played across her lips. “Yeah, no problem, I’ll do it. I wouldn’t mind meeting him.”

“Don’t get any ideas, that guy’s a manwhore.”

“I said meeting, not fucking, after all, my name’s not Saul.”

He grimaced at her. “You’re going to make me pay for a while, aren’t you?”

“I most certainly am.” Smiling, she swept a hand towards the door. “Go see Kara, so she shuts up. She says she won’t stop yelling until she speaks to you.
