Excerpt
I opened the door and escorted Jack into the inner office. He took a seat across from my desk and waited until I had settled into a chair, my elbows leaning on the desk, giving him the best attention I could muster for a Friday afternoon right before happy hour.
“I’m sorry to bother you right before the weekend,” he began. And again, I didn’t think he sounded sorry at all. He looked more irritated, like he thought I shouldn’t be leaving my office before five o’clock. If he only knew the erratic hours I kept. Ah, the life of a detective. “I took off work early to swing by your office, so I really wanted to be sure I saw you today,” Jack continued. “I can’t afford to take the time at all, but it seems necessary.” He hesitated, glanced at his watch, then back at me. “I want to hire you.”
Obviously, considering he was here, I chose to think.
Jack paused to gather his thoughts. Then he leaned forward in the chair. “I want to hire you to find my brother’s killer. Or killers.”
I stared back at him. “You’ve got my attention.”
His gaze seemed to say, “About time.” “I suppose I should start at the beginning,” was what he did say.
“That would be good.”
