A smile flirted with his face. “I’m going, I’m going.”
She grinned. “I don’t want to give you a chance to change your mind.”
“Trust me,” he tossed over his shoulder. “I don’t want to be back here any more than you want me here. I’ve got plenty of other work—on this case and on others—to keep me busy.”
We crossed the threshold into the front of the store.
“You guys can work out here until I give you the all-clear,” Ozzie tossed over his shoulder.
“Got it, thanks.” I gave him a quick thumbs-up.
He walked away, and I shared a look with Mina. “Well, that went better than expected.”
She chuckled, the sound relieved. “One hundred percent.”
“Are you gonna hang around until he’s done?” I tipped my head toward the door where Ozzie disappeared.
“Probably, yeah. Just to make sure he doesn’t need anything from me.”
A wicked smile spread over my face. I took two steps toward the wall and picked up a spare demo fork. “I’m gonna put you to work.”
An answering, sassy smile bloomed, reaching her eyes. “Yeah?” She took the tool. “Just make sure you point me away from where any more bodies could be hiding.”
With a laugh, I pecked a kiss on her cheek. “Sure thing.”
