New York To Dallas
âEyes only. Make it clear, Detective. If she moves, we need an experienced tail. Donât approach, donât get twitchy.â
âThe lieutenant ordered just that. Iâm two minutes from the house. Weâre setting up in the briefing room.â
âWeâre right behind you.â She clicked off, tapped her fingers a moment, then tagged Peabody.
âWeâre en route to the New York address,â Peabody told her. âBaxter and Trueheart say hey.â
âYeah, yeah. Iâm going into a briefing within minutes. At some point Iâll need to bring you in.â
Peabody pumped a fist in the air. âIâm going to Texas!â
âOn com, Peabody, for Christâs sake. I want you to organize your notes. Youâre going to reel off data, names, facts, statements. Every fucking thing youâve got, and I want clipped, cop precision. No amusing sidelines. Straight, hard. Tough cop.â
âI can be tough.â
âRight. Youâll address me as âLieutenantâ or âsir.â â
âGot it. You want them to think youâre a hard-ass.â
âI am a hard-ass.â Eve scowled at the âlink screen. âYouâve got that flippy deal going with your hair. Pull it back and get rid of the lip dye.â
âBut I look really good today. Yes, sir, Lieutenant,â she said quickly. âWhen will you pull me in?â
âI donât know yet. But be ready.â
She broke transmission before Peabody went into chat mode.
âVery good,â Roarke commented as he turned into the station garage. âGiving them the somewhat clichéd version of the New York cop.â
âWho do you want heading an operation like this? You want the hard-ass, the one with all the data, the players, the contingencies at handâthe one who puts it together with no room for bullshit.â
âAnd that would be you.â
âYouâre damn fucking skippy.â
He watched her move, through the building, the hallsâlaser sharp, eyes flat. When she strode into the briefing room, she projected a woman already in charge, one who wore her authority as she did her weapon.
She walked straight to Ricchioâsmart. Sheâd do better in the business world than she thought. Assume command before the subject came up. And when you were off your own turf, hit the home team first.
âLieutenant, my partner will join the briefing through communications when I reach the point in the briefing where her data is relevant. Iâll need to speak with your SWAT commander, and the EDD team assigned. Detective Jones informs me you have men on the UNSUB, watching her current location.â
âThatâs correct. At last communication, no movement reported.â
âMaybe sheâs sleeping in. Have you run a heat source to confirm sheâs in there?â
âJust setting that up.â
