The sun came out after noon and the temperature rose to the forties, so Agatha took an hour to get in a run. It helped clear her head, and she could get her training in at the same time.

She showered and changed, and then headed back into town, hoping Hank was in the mood for lunch. She’d put on jeans and boots and a long-sleeve gray Henley under her jacket, and put her hair in a knot on her head.

The sheriff’s office was empty when she came inside, so she went straight back to Hank’s office.

“Hey Sheriff,” she said, knocking on the doorframe. “Busy?”

Hank was massaging his temples, and he had that look he got when he was upset but didn’t want anyone to notice.

“Am I busy?” he asked.

“I’m just messing with you,” she said quickly. “I can tell you’re overloaded.”

“Have a good run?” Hank asked. He stood and gave her a quick hug.

“Yes. Very. I’m back with a clear head and empty stomach. I’m starving.”

Hank chuckled. “I guess you want me to feed you?”

“I wouldn’t turn it down,” she said. “And maybe you can tell me what’s wrong.”

“I called Oddie McElroy back. It seems he thinks I can be bought by coming to the dark side. And the he gave me a veiled threat about not picking the right team. I’m half tempted to go throw cuffs on him.”

“I’m sorry he got under your skin,” she said. “Maybe he’ll do something stupid and you’ll get to arrest him after all.”

“I don’t want to talk about McElroy anymore,” Hank said. “He’s ruining my appetite. Come on, I’ll tell you what James learned from the FBI lab.”

“You’re not going to get your jacket?” she asked as they went back through the lobby.

Hank wore his favorite navy blue FBI National Academy Polo shirt and a pair of jeans. His weapon was holstered at his side and his badge at his belt.

“These are spring temps,” he said.

“Yeah, yeah,” she said, chuckling as they headed across the street to the Taco and Waffle.

The restaurant was dimly lit and it took a second for her eyes to adjust. Hank pointed her toward a corner booth that looked out over Main Street. They sat silently as chips and salsa and drinks were brought.

And then the small portable police radio on his belt made a staticky sound just before Springer’s voice sounded through it.

“HQ to Sheriff Davidson. You copy?”

“Go ahead HQ,” Hank said.

“We need you at HQ.”

“What happened?”

“Lieutenant Rodriguez arrested Bud Grant.”
