Oh, great.The cop was going think they were searching for Andie to shut her up or threaten her in some way.

“All right,” Mike said dismissively. “I’m sure she’ll come in to pick up her next check.”

Eric nodded in agreement, although he hated not knowing where she was. Eventually, the cops left and he and Mike were alone with the patient again.

“If Andie went to the cops to make a statement, then those drugs are definitely not hers,” he said emphatically.

“Not necessarily,” Mike replied. “She could be trying to throw them off the scent. But I admit it’s not likely. We are inspecting the other members of the staff.”

“Is there anything I can do to assist?” He’d do anything to help her. Maybe a big gesture would ease the abruptness of his departure two years who.

“I’ll let you know. I’m going back to the club now to set up a few more cameras—discreetly. In the meantime, get some rest. You look like death warmed over, Asian McDreamy.”

Eric flushed and wrinkled his nose. “Where did you hear that name?”

Mike laughed, but he sounded tired. “You still have fans here I guess, despite flaking out on them. The nurses have been whispering like mad at their station.”

How awkward. “I only care about one girl’s opinion. I need to find Andie.”

“Ask Todd,” Mike said. “Just don’t do or say anything stupid. Everyone’s a suspect.”

“I won’t tip him off about the investigation,” he promised. “I’m only going to ask if he has Andie’s current address.”

I won’t ask if she ever mentions me or if she’s happy. And I won’t ask if she loves him…

There were some things he was better off not knowing.
