When we reached the street Jax let out a low, discordant whistle.

“What?” I demanded.

“It’s sad,” he said.

“Yeah, it’s sad.” I turned my head and spit, clearing my mouth and mind. “The whole damn thing’s sad.” I practiced the controlled breaths the department shrinks swore by, and stared at the window of Moller’s apartment.

In a world of uncertainties, Jane had been drawn to this woman. Maybe they would’ve been perfect for each other.

All I could think of was Gellica’s face the last time I’d seen her, and how I’d screwed up my own chance at a connection as she closed her door.

“Hey kid,” I said. “I got an errand to run. Would it be all right with you if—”

“Yeah,” he said. “I’ll take the car back.”
