The shooter was transferred from booking to a holding cell. Officer Sam Cooley crossed the bullpen and scanned the crowd. Riley walked up to him and put a hand on his shoulder. “Who are you looking for?”

“You, actually. The suspect demands to speak with you.”

Riley kept walking. “We’ll talk when his lawyer gets here.”

“He doesn’t want a lawyer. At least, he hasn’t asked for one yet.”

Riley stopped and looked toward the holding cells. “Did he ask for the cop who arrested him, or did he ask for me by name?”

“He said ‘I want to talk with Detective Parra.’”

“Great,” Riley muttered. She could make three guesses what a personal request meant. The shooting might not have been as straightforward as she thought. She sighed and said, “All right. Take him to the interrogation room. The one with the camera, not the two-way mirror.”

“Yes, detective.”

“Officer, be careful with him. Did you see Silence of the Lambs?”

“I read the book.”

Riley said, “Impressive. Well, just think of Hannibal in Tennessee. Don’t take your eyes off this prick for a second.”

“Yes, ma’am.”

Riley went to her desk and caught Priest’s eye across the room. She motioned her partner over, and Priest weaved through the crowd. “What’s up?”

“I think the shooter works for Marchosias. He asked to see me personally.”

“That can’t be good.”

Riley shook her head. She braced her hands against the desk and closed her eyes. “Look, I would like you to have my back in there...”

“You’ve got it. Whatever you need.”

“No. I meant that’s what I want. But I think Lieutenant Hathaway needs you more. Get to the hospital. Stay with her.”

Priest hesitated. “Riley, I’m your guardian angel. I don’t know how much good I can do with—“

“Try, goddamn it,” Riley snapped.

Priest looked like she wanted to argue some more, but she caught the look in Riley’s eye and knew she would lose. “All right. I’ll do what I can.” She put her hand on Riley’s shoulder and said, “Promise me you will stay safe. Just because we know he works for Marchosias, that doesn’t mean we know what he’s capable of.”

“I’ll be careful. Thanks, Caitlin.”

“You’re welcome. I’ll keep you apprised of the situation.”

Riley watched Priest leave the room, then left her desk to visit the interrogation rooms. She saw Cooley and another officer standing outside of Interrogation Room One, both standing at attention like Buckingham Palace guards. Cooley spotted her and gave a nod. She said, “Is he still cuffed and chained?”

“Yes, ma’am. Ankles chained together, wrists secured to the table.”

“Good man.” Riley knew she was risking the reputation of overkill, but she doubted any of the cops in the station would call her out over it. The punk shot a cop; whatever Riley wanted to do with him would probably be fair game. She said, “I’m going to let him sit for a while. Don’t leave this door unattended even for a second. Get another officer to stand against this wall facing the door.”

Cooley nodded and used his radio to call for another officer.
