Hold on a sec, Binx wants out. Deviant Dave: OK, I’ll be waiting.I sent the message then put my phone in my pocket. I stood in the shadows, watching..., waiting. The back door opens and a cat runs out followed by the lovely owner. She looks up at the sky and exhales a frustrated sigh. Her pink bathrobe ended just above her knees, her caramel legs flowing out the beneath the hem to the little black socks she wore with the ruffles on top.I stepped from the shadows and quickly approached her, “Hello. "You have the right to consult an attorney."The police officer continued to talk but Stewart wasn't listening as hestared at his wife. Despite the bruises she looked good. Really good.Better than he remembered. The room got quiet and Stewart saw theofficer staring at him as if he was waiting for a response."I'm sorry what did you say?" I said do you understand your rights."Steve nodded and the police officer marched him out the door and intothe back of the police car.*****They processed him. "You look upset, are you alright?"I shook my head. Hair tumbled into my eyes and I swept it back jerkily."Just went for some fresh air," I said."I know what you mean." He put his hand in the small of my back and movedme away from the door. Somebody else was coming in. His hand lingered alittle longer than was necessary. It was very warm."You look lovely tonight. I'll miss coming to work and seeing all youpretty girls."My cheeks went hot. "I'm sure you'll be too busy for that." Mrs Carlton will. " it must be lonely for you." I manage, especially when lovely detectives come calling." Then you are Tammy Cameron?" I didn't say that. Let's just say you can stop looking and let it go at that." Fair enough." And you detective? Tell me about yourself."Sarah knew an opening gambit when she heard it, but wasn't that exactly why she was here?Sarah summarized her life briefly. Born in Texas, raised in Chicago, a year of community college, on the force for nine years."Are you married?" asked.
