Chapter Six

“Nice job closing that other case, Moyer.”

She repositioned her attention from the file in her hand to the man who stood in her doorway. Her boss, McCarthy Williams. “Thank you, sir.”

“You’re one hell of an asset to the team, I’m glad you came back here to work.” He strode in, a full indication this was going to be a longer talk.

Gina put the file to the side, giving him her full focus.

“How are you getting along with your ex?”

“I don’t see him except in rare situations.”

He stroked two fingers down his moustache. “An answer which doesn’t even begin to address my question.”

“Because it doesn’t matter. Sergeant Liaci and I have an understanding.” His disbelieving expression had her adding, “We do. We have agreed to be civil to one another when our paths cross.”

Okay, so they’d not actually gotten that far, because when she went there last time, she ended up in his bed with his cock buried deep inside her pussy. It was on her. She shouldn’t have gone there to his place. It’d been hard enough when she’d been with him in public, it should have been a no brainer that being with him behind closed doors would be an invitation for disaster.

“Good, because I need you to go talk to him about some notes he gave Stan.”

Her pulse kicked up in anticipation of being near him once more. She picked up a pen and rolled it in her fingers. “Do I dare ask why Stan can’t go question him about the notes?”

“No.”

“Tell me you’re not playing matchmaker.”

“I’m not playing matchmaker. Far as I figure it, you two had your thing and it didn’t work. I need this done for work, nothing else.”

Right and I play football for the NFL. “Sure. When does this need to be done by?”

“Soon as possible.”

“And Stan is…”

“At his desk,” McCarty said then cleared his throat. “But he’s on his way out the door which is why I’m tasking you with it.”

“Right.” Gina pushed back from her desk and smoothed a hand down her white shirt then reached for her suit coat. Double-checking for her badge, she picked up her purse. “I’ll just be on my way now then, if you have the information I need to clear up with him handy.”

“In my office.”

She followed her boss and waited at the door while he got her a green hued file folder. Gina plucked it from his grasp and sighed. “I’ll deliver this back to Stan when I get back.”

McCarty smiled. “Thank you.”

“Anything for you, boss.”

As she took the stairs down to the first floor, she dug for her phone. Belly tight with knots, she scrolled through the numbers and hesitated when Carter’s showed on the screen. “Get over yourself,” she muttered. “This is work related. You’re not setting up a booty call.”

She pushed out into the sun and hastened to her car. Once behind the wheel, she tossed the phone to the passenger seat and stared at her reflection in the rear view. “I’m pathetic.
