Chapter 10

Sunday, 12:01 a.m.

As much as I hated to do it, I had to bring Levaughn to see Odin. A formal statement he needed to give on the record. The last time the three of us were in a room together, the fed accused me of murder. Needless to say, I had no desire to travel down this particular road a second time. With my luck, he’d insinuate I killed all these people now that Levaughn conveniently survived. Hence, why it took hours for him to convince me to go to the station once the hospital released him. Besides, it’s not like the gazillion officers at the scene didn’t question us to death. Surely they informed the fed.

Hand-in-hand, we entered Odin’s temporary digs at the local police department. Numerous officers tossed me the stink-eye—the same dudes who chased us through downtown Pittsburgh.

The fed raised his head from a file folder. “Detective Samuels, aren’t you a bit far out of your jurisdiction?”

I spoke up. “He’s here to make a formal statement. Didn’t they tell you what happened earlier?”

As usual, he acted as if I wasn’t in the room.

Levaughn shook Odin’s hand. “Nice to see you. They couldn’t’ve picked a better man for the job.”

He tried to hide his surprise, but his widened baby blues gave him away. “I appreciate that. Are you injured, or are you all right to proceed?”

“I’m okay, thanks. The hospital checked me out.”

“Glad to hear it. Have a seat.” He leaned forward. “I guess the first thing that confuses me is why you’re here in Pittsburgh. As I’m sure you’re aware, Ms. Daniels is on assignment, not vacation.”

Good question. Why did he drive all this way? With all the commotion I never bothered to ask.

“Well, uh…” He shifted in his seat, crossing and uncrossing his legs. “Let me back up. A few days ago I caught a fatal car crash case. Dr. Chavez ruled the manner of death accidental, but then I spoke with Shawnee and—”

Aw, shit. Here it comes.

Sure enough, the fed glowered at me. “What part of confidential do you not understand, Ms. Daniels?”

“I didn’t say a word, I swear.”

“I knew you couldn’t be trusted.” He sneered. “Why I ever let Tex talk me into—”

“Hey!” I slapped his desk. “Are you deaf? I just told you I didn’t reveal any information about the case.”

Levaughn slipped his hand onto my knee, and squeezed. In other words, relax and let him handle it. “Excuse me, but you didn’t let me finish. As usual, you jumped to the wrong conclusion without all the facts.”

“I’m so sick of arguing about this. Date who you want. I could care less.”

“I will, thank you. Now, may I continue?”

He gestured for Levaughn to go ahead—all the while never looking in my direction. Jerkoff.

“When I spoke with Shawnee the other day, she refused to reveal her assignment. In fact, I thought she was here for a computer seminar. But then, she didn’t return my calls. So, I got worried. That’s the only reason I drove to Pennsylvania.
