“Good afternoon, Michele.” The voice on the phone was tight with discomfort, probably also displeasure. Both were understandable. Their allegiance, such as it was, was not necessarily from the basis of mutual respect or with the intention of equal partnership. All of which made the fact that the chief of police was calling Mikey’s personal cell phone that much more alarming. “I hope now isn’t a bad time.”

Mikey closed out of the program he’d been working in and rolled back from his desk. It was true he’d come into his office in search of a distraction from his newfound obsession with his fiancée, but this was not the one he’d wanted. “Chief Silva, I can’t say I was expecting to hear from you. Is there something you need?”

Chief of Police Rodrigo Silva wasn’t what most would consider a bad man. Nor was he a good, clean, upright police officer. The few shady things he’d been caught with his hand sufficiently buried in had been more than enough of a basis for the original blackmail material years earlier. If the man had done his damnedest to press forward as a clean cop since, pretending the De Salvos simply didn’t exist altogether, he’d probably have solid groundwork for fighting back. But he hadn’t. That was his problem. He was weak. He succumbed to temptation, and got in over his head, and so the cycle continued.

It worked out better for one side than the other, and they all knew it. That was just how Dante wanted things.

Silva cleared his throat roughly. “I’ll get right to it,” he said. “As far as I’m aware, this doesn’t strictly involve you or yours … but I’m having trouble getting hold of someone connected to you.”

Mikey frowned, but opted to continue listening.

“Earlier this week, an employee of yours had her car and her credit cards stolen. Fuck knows why she was out on Hogue to begin with, but—”

“Did you find the car?” Mikey asked, cutting the grumbling man off.

Silva hesitated. “You’re aware of the situation?”

Mikey ground his teeth. “Yes, I’m aware of the goddamn situation. Brandi Richardson is my fucking fiancée, who do you think she called when she couldn’t get off Hogue Street?”

The older man made a distinctly startled noise, grunted, and shuffled something in the background. “Well … maybe that makes more sense, then…”

“Silva,” Mikey snapped. “Did you or did you not find her car? Or at least a lead on the assholes who took it from her?”

“All of the above.”

Mikey sat back in his seat. “Keep talking.”

“We have Ms. Richardson’s car,” the chief said, “but it’s been stripped and trashed. I’m not sure it’s not part of a crime scene now, though I am sure that would have occurred after she lost possession of it.”

Oh, for fuck’s sake.

Silva continued. “The more unusual part, I thought, was that we also found one of the men we believe to be responsible for the original carjacking and … well, I’ll be frank. He’s identified himself as a member of the Ink Blots.
