Ha!

Brad Matthews

Lieutenant, San Soloman Fire Department

I’m tempted to call him.

Because I need the file.

And not for any other reason.

But instead, I head down the hall to Bauer and relay the information to him, as he continues to complain about Benson and his competency as a detective.

“I got the info for the first responders too,” I add. “In case we need to talk to them. But all that info would already be in Detective Benson’s report, right?” I’m hoping I’m wrong, and we need to call Brad, just as strongly as I’m hoping I’m right. My emotional inconsistencies know no bounds, it seems.

Bauer extends his hand for the business card in mine. I hand it to him.

“Is this your jealous little ex-Romeo, Cookie?”

“He’s not jealous,” I mumble as I nod my head.

“Our next step is to talk to Sofia Carter’s parents, Cookie. Not your boy-toy,” Bauer says as he crumbles up Brad’s card and tosses it to the ground.

Well, so much for that.
