Elsa and Cassidy crack up.
“That’s gonna get you in trouble,” Elsa snickers. “Well, I need to get to work.”
“Later, lady,” I say as she takes her coffee and walks out of the break room.
Cassidy arches a pointed brow at me. “You never replied to my text on Friday night asking if you got home safe, and now I’m worried about any decisions you may or may not have made…”
I frown. “Sorry, I must have missed it. My dad…” I clear my throat. “Weird weekend.” I yank out my phone and click on her unread text from Friday night.
Cassidy
Pls tell me u were strong and didnt go home with Felix
My face turns scarlet as I yank my gaze up to her grinning face.
“Cassidy!” I admonish.
“Well?!” She giggles.
“No,” I mutter, making a face. “No, times a hundred.”
“So…that’s a no.”
“That’s a hell no—no offense to Felix.”
She smirks. “Well, some offense to Felix. If you could kiss him once?—”
“Cass, c’mon,” I mumble, glancing past her even though there’s no one even close to the break room.
“All right, I’m dropping it.” Her face suddenly changes. “Oh, shit! I forgot to ask!”
“What’s up?”
“Remember that pro bono case Crown and Black took on like a year ago? Representing a group of CSA survivors against Salvatore Avella?”
I shudder. “The private school admin. Yeah,” I grimace. “I remember that case. The creep walked, didn’t he?”
“Yeah,” Cassidy spits. “Well, in other news, guess who was killed in his apartment in a botched break-in this weekend?”
My jaw drops. “You’re shitting me.”
“Nope. Karma is a bitch, girl.”
I whistle low, shaking my head. “That’s insane.”
“It gets crazier. I’ve got that source inside the NYPD, so I called him this morning to ask about it. He told me they’ve already pulled matching prints and hair samples from the scene.”
“Damn, that’s fast.”
“Wait until you hear who the suspects are.”
I frown. “Who?”
“Jimi Hendrix, Tennessee Williams, and Christian Dior.”
My brow furrows. “Wait, what?”
“Right?! There were exact prints of theirs all over the apartment. Plus hair samples from Brad Pitt, Jason Patric, Ron Eldard, and Billy Crudup.”
