Saving Face Chapter 27

STEVE PROPPED HIS FEET up on the coffee table, switching through the channels looking for something to occupy his mind. Jennifer sat on the end of the couch curled up with a stack of scripts in front of her.

After the third round through the channels, Jennifer asked, “You want to read a couple of these and tell me if you think it’s worth pursuing?” She handed him half the stack.

Steve glanced at the offering and then met her gaze.

“You’re driving me crazy,” she said, still holding the stack.

“I’m sorry,” Steve said and settled on the Fox News station. He dropped the remote on the table and took the stack from her. He figured if the script was good enough, the television wouldn’t pull his attention away.

“Thank you,” Jennifer said and sent a smirk his way.

“I can think of a dozen better ways to spend my time,” he muttered and flipped open the first script in the pile.

“I need to read these,” Jennifer said waving the pile.

“We could still...” he trailed off at her glare.

“I have to get through these today. If you’re so hard up, you’re more than welcome to take care of it yourself.” She gave him a challenging purse of her lips and he chuckled.

“Touché,” he said and focused on the words in front of him, but his mind kept returning to the thought of her sexy mouth doing all the right things. He glanced in her direction with a suggestive grin plastered on his lips.

Jennifer glanced up from her script and laughed. “Stop looking at me like that.”

“Like what?” He feigned innocence.

The ring of the telephone saved her, and he leaned forward, muted the television, and grabbed the phone. He glanced at the caller ID before answering.

“Hey, Ron,” he said and put the papers in his lap aside.

“They’re issuing a subpoena for you to appear in front of the grand jury,” Cleary said.

Steve sucked in air, and Jennifer’s gaze jumped from the script to his. “When?”

“The end of the week.”

Steve stared at Jennifer. “That’s pretty fast,” he said. Jennifer mouthed Tom’s name and Steve shook his head, pointing at his chest.

“I told you they were on a witch hunt,” Cleary said, and Steve closed his eyes, thankful for the bitter tone in his boss’s voice.

“Have you been interviewed, yet?”

Cleary laughed. “No. They didn’t ask, and I didn’t volunteer.”

Steve opened his eyes. “Okay,” he said. “What’s happening with Sarah?”

“She told them she asked you about Ty, but you didn’t come clean with her until the day of his funeral. From what I understand, they’re going to give her a formal reprimand for failing to bring this to the attention of her superiors.”

“What are they charging me with?”

“Aiding and abetting a known criminal, extortion, and reckless endangerment. They haven’t found anything concrete that could lead to charges related to either his death or Jessica’s so they drummed up reckless endangerment for allowing them access to key case details during an investigation. I just thought you’d like to prepare for this.
