Chapter 13

“Someone here who can take Mac Sullivan’s dog?”

Rachel, hearing the cop‘s shout from the funeral home reception area, spoke into the phone and assured Mac that his dog had arrived. “I don’t understand. Why did you send her via cop taxi? Mac? What’s happening?”

The sound of the dial tone filled her ear.

Whiskey, dragging her leash, appeared in her doorway. She was followed in short order by an irritated patrolman.

“Look, I’ve got to get back. We’ve got a murder to deal with and I can’t be playing dog nanny. Greeley told me to bring the mutt here and hand her to a Jeff O’Herlihy or a Rachel Brenner.”

Rachel froze. “Murder?”

“Yeah, at a roach motel over near Howard University hospital. A shooter took out a Boston cop and this dog’s owner. I’ve got to go. This is my first crack at a murder scene.”

“Mac Sullivan was shot? I just spoke to him on the.…” She stopped talking. The young cop was gone.

“Men!” She picked up her coat, purse, and cell phone on her way out the door. “Come on, girl. Let’s go find out how your owner is. Would it have killed him to tell me he was calling from his deathbed? I wish you could talk.” She stopped and gave the dog a hug. “You’d tell me what was going on, wouldn’t you? Not make me drag it out of you?”

The dog made a noise Rachel took as either grudging agreement or non-responsive.

“Whiskey?” Rachel sighed and stroked the dog’s head. “Okay, I know your first loyalties lie with him, but it doesn’t feel very good to always be an afterthought. Don’t you think I deserve to be more than a minor character in this little drama Mac calls his life? If he survives, we’re going to have a serious discussion.”

This time Whiskey‘s bark sounded much more like agreement.
