Chapter 3

Parker slowed her SUV to a roll in front of the courthouse steps, where a large crowd congregated around a makeshift stage. Ben Remington’s jaguar partner, Antonio Reyes, stood off to the side. His lethal, six-foot jaguar frame looked ready to pounce on any lawbreakers who got in his way. His dark hair was styled to perfection, and the sunglasses covering his eyes were expensive. He was one Were most shifters refrained from pissing off. Good thing Parker didn’t care...much. The man had a hard-on for Devlin and, in recent months, fought over Parker’s best friend. He was an easy target to ridicule over his mounting crush.

Parker saw the coil running down into his shirt from the ear piece in his ear. Television crews and cameras were pointed at the most outspoken member of the Paranormal Commission. The recently re-elected Commissioner, Bob Carlton, was standing behind the podium.

Parker pulled over, parked, and slid out of the SUV. She leaned back against the vehicle to hear what the politician had to say as she debated hitting the Reyes up for any new leads or information on the case.

“Every species has a given right to make sure their lines aren’t tainted. Half-breeds are going to ruin our society.” He slammed his fist against the podium. “That’s why this bill is so important.”

Rolling her eyes, Parker pushed off the vehicle and moved closer beside Reyes’ side. “This guy is an idiot. No wonder he needs security detail.”

Reyes tried to stifle his grin, but failed. “Death threats are already coming in, and he hasn’t even officially retaken office. Can you imagine if he gets this new bill signed into law? There won’t be a security detail around strong enough to ensure this asshole’s safety. I bet he’d turn up dead before the new ink on his extended contract has a chance to dry.”

Parker grinned as she nudged Reyes’ shoulders. “I have a feeling you’d win that bet. Besides I think you still owe me a night of karaoke from the last bet that you lost.”

He glanced down at her and narrowed his eyes. “Drop it, fairy, or I’ll make you my next target to replace Devlin.”

She chuckled and held up her hands in mock surrender. “I thought Needles reassigned my Devic Crystal case to you and Remington. Shouldn’t you be interrogating Sully instead of working security detail?”

Reyes’ sexy grin slipped into a frown. His expression stilled and grew serious. She knew immediately that whatever he had to tell her wasn’t going to be good news.

“Didn’t anyone tell you yet?”

“Tell me what?”

He quickly glanced at her and then returned his attention to the guy behind the microphone. “Sully’s dead. He didn’t even make it to the jail. He died in the hospital.”

Son of a bitch. Had the demon still been alive, she’d kick his ass all over again. The bastard indeed had gotten the last laugh when he took his secrets back to hell.

“I can sense your emotion, McKenna. Why isn’t this good news?”

Parker pulled out her lip gloss and soothed it over her lips.
