“My, my,” Finley said as she sauntered to the bar. "You certainly get around."

I smiled and shrugged innocently.

"Pretty fancy circles to run in for a deputy?"

"And how did you find yourself here?" I asked.

"I sold Chloe a condo last year. She's a sweet girl, I like her." Finley changed topics. "I heard about what happened. I'm beginning to think it might not be safe around you."

"It's much safer around me," Jack said, eyeing Finley's sumptuous form.

She gave him a doubtful glance.

"Jack, have you met Finley, the evil real estate developer that's going to destroy Diver Down?”

Finley rolled her eyes. "I am not evil."

“So, you’re the one we hate?” Jack said, shaking her hand. “I guess if I had to get bulldozed by anybody, I'd want it to be by you.”

"I'll take that as a compliment, I think," Finley said. "I'm really not the bad guy here. I'm not as bad as Tyson makes me out to be."

"That's a shame, because I like bad," JD said.

Finley chuckled. "What about you, Deputy Wild? Do you like bad?" There was a naughty glint in her eyes.

"I've been known to chase after bad people,” I said.

Finley muttered to JD, “It seems Deputy Wild and I are in competition for the same piece of property." She kept her sultry gaze aimed at me. "I have to warn you, I am a fierce competitor. I don't like to lose."

"Neither do I.”

"I'm sure this could get very interesting," Finley said.

"I'm sure it could."

I wasn't sure if we were still talking about real estate.

"You know, I'm all about making things a win-win when it comes to business. And pleasure."

I arched an intrigued eyebrow.

"I think I have a solution that could work for both of us," Finley said with a deliciously devious sparkle in her eyes.

"I'm all ears," I said.

"You'll get what you want, I'll get what I want. And we will all be happy."

I stared at her for a long moment, then exchanged a skeptical glance with JD.

"Before we become mortal enemies," Finley said. "I think you should see one of my properties. I want you to experience my full vision."

"I'd certainly like to see more of your… property," I said.

A thin smirk curled on her full lips. "Why don't you come with me? I think you'll like what you see."

Jack put his elbow in my ribs, encouraging me to take her up on her offer.

I surveyed the ruthless mogul curiously.

"What will it be, Deputy Wild?” Finley asked. “I'm not inclined to make the offer twice."

"I'll listen to your proposal," I said.

A confident grin curled on her lips.

Finley took my hand, and we left Jack at the bar. I had no doubt he would find ways to entertain himself for the rest of the evening.

Finley pulled me through the crowd, weaving through the horde on the aft deck, crossing the gangway to the dock. We strolled to the parking lot, and Finley sent a text message. A moment later, a driver in a black town car pulled the vehicle around, then hopped out of the car and got the door for us.
