CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

“So, are you going to tell me or what?” Tori’s curiosity was killing her.

“Tell you what?” Casey pointed up ahead. “Pull in here. I’m starving.”

Hunter pulled into the drive-thru lane, quietly shaking her head. How could she possibly eat as much as she did? “Think how much time we’d save if you ate breakfast at home.”

“That’d mean there’d have to be food there.” Casey handed her a ten. “Get me the sausage and egg sandwich, hash browns and a large coffee.”

“Sure that’s all? Don’t want a biscuit on the side?”

Casey shook her head. “Better not. Had a big meal last night.” She smiled. “You know, with Marissa.”

“And again, are you going to tell me what happened?”

“Nothing happened, Hunter. We had a nice dinner, talked about the case, flirted a little, and then she said she wasn’t going to sleep with me.”

Tori stared at her. “Are you crazy? You want to sleep with her?”

“Despite your description of her, I found her quite attractive. A bit arrogant, yes, but I even found that attractive.”

“Been a while for you, has it?”

Casey laughed. “Damn, Hunter, you’re making a joke. And here everyone said you were all business.”

Tori shrugged. “Sam says I’ve mellowed.”

“Speaking of Sam, Marissa thinks she’s a doll. She’s not quite sure what Sam sees in you, though.”

Tori pulled up to the window and gave Casey’s order, then tossed a glance at her. She was about to say she didn’t give a shit what Marissa Goddard thought, but she stopped herself. Then she blurted out the one thing that was foremost on her mind. “Sam’s leaving.”

Casey frowned. “What? Oh, man, I’m sorry. What happened?”

Tori shook her head. “No, I mean she’s leaving for a training session. For three weeks.”

“Well, shit, Hunter, I thought you meant she was leaving you.”

Tori stared straight ahead. “Feels like it,” she said quietly.

“What’s up? You guys having problems?”

“No, no. It’s just, well, we’ve never been apart.” Tori turned as Casey’s breakfast was handed through the window. “Thanks.”

Casey took the bag and ripped into it. “You didn’t get you any coffee, Hunter?”

“Already had some.” She pulled away, watching as Casey took a huge bite from her sandwich. “How do you stay so thin?”

“Blessed. My grandmother was a pole bean,” she said as she sampled the hash browns. “So when is Sam leaving?”

Tori sighed. “Tomorrow.”

“Damn. For three weeks, huh?”

“Yep.”

“Where do you live, anyway?”

“Over near White Rock.”

“Well, hell, Hunter, if I’m not busy with Marissa this weekend, we can hang out.”

“Hang out?”

“Yeah. Have a few beers somewhere, catch a movie or something.”

Tori glanced at her quickly, then back at the road. “You fish?”

“Used to fish all the time. My grandfather lived out on Lake Fork. Had a nice bass boat.” She grabbed her coffee as Tori took the corner too fast. “Have I told you your driving sucks?”

“He still out there?” Tori asked, ignoring the dig.

“No. He died on Christmas Eve, two years ago.” She shrugged. “My brother got the boat.”

“And?”

“And we don’t get along.” She wadded up her trash and put it in the bag, then tossed it to the back of Tori’s Explorer.
