“What do you mean you’re shutting down the investigation?” Fists on her
hips, Special Agent Avery Ellis glared at her supervisor. “That trucking
company is dealing in stolen goods. Or counterfeits. Or both. We’re talking
on an international level, Ryan. My contact was killed for giving me that
lead.”
As usual, Avery’s SSA—Supervisory Special Agent—Ryan Goshiro,
remained unperturbed. He eyed her placidly over the top of his computer
monitor and shrugged. “Your contact had a heart attack. I’m sorry the
timing was crummy, but that’s about the only sinister thing going on here.”
“Heart attacks can be induced.”
Ryan leaned on his elbows and rolled his eyes. “In spy novels. The
Bureau likes to live in the real world. It doesn’t take a lot of explanation,
Avery. You’re done. Orders from up top.”
“But—”
He raised a hand, stopping her. “I’m not saying there’s nothing to
investigate with this trucking company. You can circle back to it later. For
now, I’ve been ordered to redirect agency resources to more compelling
cases. End of story.”
“What about the two other deaths? You can’t tell me three deaths in two
months are a coincidence.”
Ryan pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed. “I have told you that.
Several times.” He fixed her with a long look. “Give it up, Avery. I’m
shutting this down. You don’t have to like it, but you do have to listen.”
No. She didn’t.
His eyes narrowed as if he could see her brain working. “You’re an
excellent agent. If you’d just learn to be a team player, you could have a
great career. Don’t blow this.”
Like your father did.
She heard the words as clearly as if Ryan had said them out loud.
Officially, Averson Ellis was a hero to the Bureau, an agent who gave
his life to save fellow law enforcement officers. But the backstory was far
more complicated. Her father was a hero to his fellow agents, but to the
higher-ups, the men and women who rode desks, he was despised. Because
he’d saved those officers by going rogue.
The instant she earned her badge, Avery had looked through his file.
Works outside the system.
Unwilling to adhere to standard protocols or commands.
Resistant to input from superiors.
The list ran on, using countless other ways to say the same thing: her
father had been a burr in the system’s backside his entire career. And then
he died in the line of duty.
