“Wow. Gives some theories a bit more perspective, that’s for fucking sure. Sadie was meeting Mueller for dinner like they were BFFs, and she asked him to off somebody. That wasn’t on my radar. Or the Feds.”
“To be fair,” Beau laughed. “I don’t know what else they were doing if you get my drift. Surveillance followed them to Siren Hotel & Casino but the audio wasn’t relevant so it’s been scrubbed. Officially.” Which meant it was still lurking somewhere in the NSA archives.
“I get it.”
“What are you going to do?”
I stared at Beau from the passenger seat. “That’s the fucking question, ain’t it? First order of business is to figure who the fuck Sadie wanted murdered.” That was likely a long list to start with, but it had to be personal since Jasper wasn’t present.
“I cleaned up the audio the best I could, because I’m not sure that’s what she said, but right now it’s as clean as we could get it.”
“I appreciate it, man. I’ll start looking into this Burns character.” Which meant instead of going back to Maddie, I was headed to the precinct for hours and hours of research. “Thanks, Beau.”
“Not a problem. I expect a wedding invite.”
I smiled at the reminder. “Two weeks from today, Ma’s backyard.”
“Not too soon?”
“When you’re sure, why wait?” He’d find out about the baby soon enough. “If you need anything,” I told him and slipped out of his black sedan and into my car.
I had a hell of a lot of thinking to do. Sadie fucking the priest. Jasper’s offer. The baby. Maddie’s sister.
Aww, fuck it. I headed back home to get lost in my happily ever after.
