Chapter Eleven

I put Tegan on hold, then raced up the steps toward Fin's office. By the time I made it, and pressed the phone back to my ear, Tegan was in mid-tirade about her boss, and how he wouldn’t let her take the detective exam. I made a few noncommittal noises at her to keep her talking. When I walked into Fin’s office, I found him and the captain whispering by his desk.

The captain stopped talking the second his eyes slid over me entering the room.

Without another word, he walked out, but not before delivering a glare I could feel in my toes. Oh yeah, we weren’t going to be braiding each other’s hair later.

Fin turned toward me, his eyes expectant, but guarded. Good, he wasn’t ready to review what we’d faced in the sparring room either. It would make things easier for now.

I cocked my phone toward him and then pressed it back to my ear. Tegan continued her assault on her boss’s character, some of which was probably unfounded. No one who could eat a dozen donuts in under five minutes could be all bad.

“Tegan is on the phone,” I told Fin. “She says she might have something for us.”

He walked toward me and pressed in close. I backed away.

“Teags, okay, so what do you have?” I asked.

She stopped short in the middle of her sentence and then switched gears. I loved a woman who knew where her priorities were.

“The lab said they found some DNA on the ribbon and they—”

Fin cut in closer. “What is she saying?”

I put my hand into his face and gently pushed him backward. “Sorry, Teags, I missed what you said. Someone is being impatient.”

“Oh, is your babysitter there? He was cute. Is he single?”

I snorted as he slapped my hand away from him. “Yes, but he probably bites.”

“Even better,” she said.

“Tegan, back to the lab report.”

“Oh, right, sorry. Yes, they found DNA and trace bits of metal on the ribbon. All over it, like someone had been—”

“Put it on speaker,” Fin demanded, right in my other ear.

I shoved him away. “No, I’m not putting it on speaker because you’re acting like a toddler. One minute, and I’ll tell you what she said.”

Tegan was still going. “They couldn’t figure out the composition of the metal, but they said they found traces of magic as well.”

“They can test for that now?”

Tegan hemmed and hawed a little bit. “Well, not for magic specifically, but there is a chemical composition that magic can leave on some fabrics. Looks like silk is one of them.”

Interesting.

“Thanks, Teags,” I said. “Can you email me the report?”

Fin jostled me again, trying to get to my phone as I hung up. He dropped his hands when I slipped it into my pocket.

“Are you going to be a good boy and relax while I tell you what she said? Because you need to calm down.”

His forehead drew in tight and I resisted the urge to push his hair behind his ear to get it out of his face.
