TINY LITTLE EMBERS
Nash
The federal agents in my office were lucky for two reasons.
First, my left hook wasn’t what it had been before getting shot.
And second, I hadn’t been able to work my way up into feeling
anything, let alone mad enough to make me consider doing something
stupid.
“The Bureau understands you have a personal interest in finding
Duncan Hugo,” Special Agent Sonal Idler said from across my desk where
she sat with a ramrod-straight spine. She flicked her gaze to the coffee stain
on my shirt.
She was a steely woman in a pantsuit who looked as though she ate
procedures for breakfast. The man next to her, Deputy U.S. Marshal Nolan
Graham, had a mustache and the look of a man forced into something he
really didn’t want to do. He also looked like he blamed me for it.
I wanted to work my way up to pissed off. Wanted to feel something
other than the great, sucking void that rolled over me, inevitable as the tide.
But there was nothing. Just me and the void.
“But we can’t have you and your boys and girls running around
mucking up my investigation,” Idler continued.
On the other side of the glass, Sergeant Grave Hopper was dumping a
pint of sugar into his coffee and glaring daggers at the two feds. Behind
him, the rest of the bullpen buzzed with the usual energy of a small-town
police department.
Phones rang. Keyboards clicked. Officers served. And the coffee
sucked.
Everyone was alive and breathing. Everyone but me.
I was just pretending.
I crossed my arms and ignored the sharp twinge in my shoulder.
“I appreciate the professional courtesy. But what’s with the special
interest? I’m not the only cop to take a bullet in the line of duty.”
“You also weren’t the only name on that list,” Graham said, speaking up
for the first time.
My jaw tightened. The list was where this nightmare had begun.
“But you were the first one targeted,” Idler said. “Your name was on
that list of LEOs and informants. But this thing is bigger than one shooting.
This is the first time we’ve got something that could stick to Anthony
Hugo.”
It was the first time I’d heard any kind of emotion in her voice. Special
Agent Idler had her own personal agenda, and nailing crime boss Anthony
Hugo to the wall was it.
“I need this case to be airtight,” she continued. “Which is why we can’t
have any locals trying to take matters into their own hands. Even if they’ve
got badges. The greater good always comes with a price tag.”
I rubbed a hand over my jaw and was surprised to find more than a fiveo’clock shadow there. Shaving hadn’t exactly been high on my priority list
lately.
