Chapter Fifteen

Tag was still fighting misgivings over his decision to let Sarah skate on her involvement in the stolen weapons ring when he checked in at the sergeant’s desk in the police station’s main lobby. If these two new detectives were as sharp as Rio, they’d sense his frustration. They’d sense his boiling aggression. They’d question what had him so pissed—maybe even take a closer look at Sarah. He’d better lock himself down ASAP, because the only thing this suppressed emoting was going to do was give him a damn stroke.

Just because he’d asked her not to tell the police about the video and the fucking hell Mitch had put her through didn’t mean the bastard was going to get away with anything. He’d take the prick down himself—hard—at some point.

The sergeant called over a uniformed officer with blazing red hair who introduced himself as Conrad Underwood. They followed Underwood up two flights of stairs. The Major Crimes Unit, where they were supposed to meet Detectives Evans and England, looked more like a telephone call center than a specialized police unit. Unlike Rio’s bullpen, which was one big square room full of metal desks, Dark Falls Major Crimes Unit was long and rectangular with rows of cubicles separated by narrow aisles. Not that they’d had a chance to see much of it. The two detectives waited at the entryway and escorted them to an interview room around the corner.

Detective Rhys Evans was a big blond dude with tats peeking out from beneath his sleeves. He was dressed casual—a white polo and khakis—and had the wide shoulders and narrow hips of a quarterback. Tag would bet a case of Bud that the guy had played ball back in the day.

The guy reminded him of Rio—but not his looks. This dude was light to Rio’s dark. No, it was the eyes and the lack of expression. That shuttered take-everything-in-and-give-nothing-away look was apparently handed out to cops alongside their weapons, radios, and badges. Evans's partner, who’d introduced himself as Mason England, had the same affect.

“Did your brother ever mention Dark Falls?” Evans asked, his flat blue eyes shifting from Sarah to Tag and back. “Did he say anything that indicated he was in Dark Falls, as this Porter Hayes told you?”

“No. He didn’t call very often. And when he did, he never mentioned Dark Falls.” Sarah’s voice didn’t waver.

She’d held up amazingly well under the questioning. Better than he’d expected. She’d stuck with the same story every time they’d asked, and they’d asked numerous times—from multiple entry points—as he’d known they would. Interrogations were interrogations whether the interrogators were cops or special operators.

It was obvious that the past two years had taught her to lie. And to lie with conviction.

“Your fiancé never responded to Hayes’s demands.” England stepped in. “And you never spoke with him. So what makes you believe what Hayes told you? What makes you believe your fiancé is selling stolen military weaponry?”

Tag gritted his teeth and held his tongue. He’d
