WTF.
Detective Samuel Larson, thirty-seven-year-old semi-star
of the Santa Raquel Police Department, leaned back in the old squeaky desk
chair he’d inherited, along with the scarred desk, when he’d been awarded his
detective’s shield.
He didn’t give a rat’s ass about the desk. Never had. He
stared at the emailed report he’d just opened.
WTF.
Two years? The
asshole was out in two years?
How was he going to… "Damn ."
“Something wrong?” Brand new detective Chantel Harris,
who’d recently transferred from a beat cop to internet crime investigation,
happened to be walking by Sam’s desk as that last expletive slipped out.
Sam knew Chantel. Not from any work they’d done together
on the job, but because they were both members of the Santa Raquel High Risk Team—an
organization of professionals in all fields who came into contact with victims
of domestic violence. From nurse to school counselor, cops, doctors, lawyers,
the team had formed an intricate communication system geared solely to prevent
domestic violence deaths.
“Yeah, something’s wrong,” he said, running a hand
through blond hair that was too long by department standards. No one seemed to
care. Least of all him. “One of our High Risk cases just threw up on us.”
In silk pants and a jacket that looked like it had cost a
year of his car payments, the no-nonsense, no makeup, blond-hair-tied-back cop
sat down hard in the varnish-less wooden chair beside his desk.
“Which one?” Her lips were white with tension.
“This one was before your time,” he quickly assured her.
“But not before yours.”
“Right.” He looked at his screen again, seething angry
energy. Rocking back and forth in the swivel chair that had seen better days,
leaning on one elbow as he chewed the side of his finger.
Chantel glanced at the screen. “Released on a
technicality,” she read the portion he’d scrolled to.
“The lawyer who prosecuted him was Trevor Banyon.” He
chewed harder.
Chantel’s drawn out curse was only slightly less harsh
than his mental one. “How many are they up to now? Twenty-four? I can’t believe
that many cases have been overturned. A
top prosecutor with an illegal gun trade on the side." She shook her head.
"The guy should be shot.”
With one of his own weapons, Sam agreed silently.
“I thought all of his cases were drug related,” Chantel
leaned over and, taking charge of his mouse, scrolled some more. “What was he
doing on one of our cases?”
“The perp was a professor of psychology at U of C. The
victim, his wife, was an associate professor he’d mentored.”
“The authority figure,” Chantel’s tone dripped
disrespect. He knew it because it was a sentiment he shared.
Answering to a boss was one thing—having someone assume
that they knew what was best for you better than you did, or thought that they
had the right to force their will onto another—the idea pissed him off.
Royally.
