Positive Reports

Jack Tanner: May 29, 2022, Red Ages

A moment after I hear Blue hang up her phone, she runs down the hall to my office. Who in the city government does she suspect of corruption? If I outright ask her she’ll know I can overhear all of her conversations. When she pauses outside my door, I quickly place a file on top of the report I’m reading and call out, “Come in.”

She wears jeans paired with a soft blue tee that hugs her body with excruciating closeness. Her light shimmers around her as though in tune with her obvious excitement. She slides through the door with a radiant grin on her face. Her faithful companion comes in after her and sits next to her feet. She stands in the middle of my office, biting her lip and wiggling her boots, totally unconscious she does that around me.

Her voice is lively, full of light tones, as she asks quickly, “Did you finish your interrogation of the perpetrators from this morning?“

“I’m letting Ernesto handle that since he questioned Jeffrey and has a line on the Dilectus Deo. But that is not what you really want to talk about, is it?”

Blue shakes her head and says, “Jack, I think we found our perpetrator. One of the registered owners of the matching cars in this area has a brother living with her. He was recently arrested for a DUI while driving the car! I’m meeting Gambino in an hour at the owner’s house.“

I was leaning back in my chair as she told me this, but I sit forward now, smiling. “Excellent news, Blue. That is a wonderful break!”

She says, “Rubalia did the research and found him.” How nice of her to give Rubalia credit when deserved.

“Let me know how that pans out.”

She nods at this, her excitement still palpable. Then suddenly she starts biting her lip again as though she feels awkward. “Well,” she says, “that is all I have.”

I say, “While you are here... I’m sending over Michael Radskif to redo your wards. He’ll be there tomorrow at two. He can ward your apartment inside and out so no one can portal in again. The department is covering the cost since the need is in relation to a case.”

She frowns slightly at this and looks down at the toes of her boots. When she raises her eyes to me she says, “Alright, I’ll plan to be there. I’ll also let you know how things go with the case.”

“Thank you. Remember, earlier reporting is better.”

She nods and leaves my office with Varg following behind.

How has she grown into such a beautiful woman with such a good heart? And to top that off, she is my most tenacious Inspector, solving cases with her gift, her passion, and her considerable intuition. Today scared the living daylights out of me, though. I need to think about hiring a partner for her. An image rises in my mind of a man riding around with her in a car.
