CHAPTER 27

Captain West

Virginia walks in with her iPhone in hand with a certain kind of arrogance and smugness that would make the most demure exit the room. I ask her, “You get anything useful out of the old guy?” “A little bite…” she stops mid-sentence

when she spots Denisha’s computer crushed and

smashed on the floor. The first thing we noticed

was the untouched Chinese take-out boxes sitting

to the right of the shattered computer and looks at

it and ask, “What in the world?”

“Hard to tell, but a safe guess is someone was beyond angry,” I answered. “She was working on something, but what?” as Virginia looks at the broken pieces of the computer.

Officer Jenkins walks over carrying an empty box; he starts to carefully place the pieces of the computer in the box. He suggests, “I could have Tom Johnson and the tech guys have a look and see whether or not anything can be retrieved from the hard-drive?”

Virginia purses her lips and glances in Captain West’s direction, “I don’t think so. That box is coming with me.” She stoops down on the floor, “I’ll box this up,” and she takes the box from Officer Jenkins.

Officer Jenkins stands up in a slight huff, as he and Kincade look at one another hoping for something quick to say, but Captain West’s rough, course voice, “What’s the problem with you two?”

As Virginia continues picking up the crushed pieces of the computer, and places them delicately into the box, she can hear the hesitation in Kincade’s voice, “No problem-it’s just that…”

Jenkins rubs his hand through the two-day stubble on his face, “We were thinking Tom and the tech guys could have a look at this stuff and see if they can retrieve some of the data.”

Kincade adds, “He’s good at this kind of thing.”

“I’m sure he is, but we’ll let Detective Breeze handle it her way at the moment,” I told both men.

“He’ll destroy what’s on it,” whispers Virginia under her breath.

I looked down at Detective Breeze, “Did you say something Detective?”

“I said they have nearly destroy it,” she answered.

That didn’t sound like what she said, but maybe my ears were playing tricks on me.

Virginia picks up the box, and says, “I’m going to see what progress has been made by the Crime Scene investigators.”

Using his large frame, Office Kincade blocks

the door in an aggressive stance, “The computer is

evidence and know unauthorized personnel are

allowed access because it is part of a homicide

investigation.”

Kincade reaches for the box and I shoved his narrow butt aside and told him, “I call the shots here not you!”

Detective Breeze quickly leaves as Jenkins

yells from across the room, “This is the last straw- Internal Affairs is going to hear about this…you big black…”

“Go ahead and say it so I can shove those

words so far down your throat you’ll be constipated for a week.”

Officer Jenkins watches Virginia from the window as she places the box in the trunk of her car and slams the trunk shut.

Kincade and Captain West is standing toe-to- toe
