Tori understood that cops didn’t like PIs, but never had her rights been violated quite like this. That she was a veteran, served her country, was a civil servant, and helped people…and still this man did this?

Screw him.

He’d opened a can of worms.

She wouldn’t be surprised if he tried to access their phones to violate that right too.

Who needed a warrant?

Certainly not him.

Because she knew he was watching, thanks to Bethany, she warned him.

“Our agency is going to be suing,” Tori said, staring right at the glass now that she knew he was back there. “When I own this city, don’t be shocked,” she said. “I’m going to have your job and have you arrested for false imprisonment.”

She heard the laughter.

Someone was cocky.

Well, she hoped he enjoyed himself. Those days were coming to an end.

It didn’t take long.

When the door opened, he walked in, and he was holding one cup of coffee.

What wouldn’t she give for some caffeine?

It was clear he was thinking they’d break easily if he offered them some. She had news for him.

They were a unified force, and the man’s partner had been on their side. She’d paid them a visit last night, let them out to use the bathroom, apologized profusely, and got them some food.

This man…

He was dead in the water on scaring them. In fact, Bexley was living her best life. She had already plotted this out for her next book.

A mysterious cop.

A detained woman.

It would likely be a bestseller.

“Well, ladies, let’s have our talk,” Detective Jon Wilkes said, sitting down. “I’m assuming you had a good night at our hotel jailcell.”

They said nothing.

Why?

Lucian was going to make this man cry.

As for the female detective, she was in the corner, and she didn’t look happy.

Tori was focused on her.

I’m sorry, she mouthed.

Tori bet. This was going to go on her record too since she was his partner.

“She doesn’t like him,” Bethany said. “I heard her telling another cop that she was ready to quit if she didn’t get off this shit duty. She’s already looking for a new job.”
