“You were supposed to be watching her!” I yelled.

“Fuck you, Andy!” Bobby countered.

Jeremy stepped inside. “Okay, can we all calm down?” He looked at me. “Andrea didn’t stop by here?”

“Oh, yeah, sure she did,” I said, my tone laced with bitterness. “This is the face of a man who knows exactly where she is!”

“Actually, she was here earlier.”

We all turned to Hannah, standing half naked at the door to my bedroom, still massaging her neck. She was looking at me I anger, her eyes shooting daggers.

“What are you talking about?” I asked.

“She came here about an hour ago,” Hannah spat. “She was looking for you. I opened the door for her, and when she saw me, she just took off.”

That last bit was said with a small smile, and I quickly understood what Hannah was getting at. I immediately knew what Andrea must have thought seeing Hannah like that.

“Great, Andy, just fucking great!” Bobby yelled.

“You little bitch,” I cursed.

Hannah only shrugged, and I made for her, my hands balled into fists. Jeremy stopped me, quickly pulling me back. “Slow down, cowboy,” he warned.

“This is her fault,” I hissed. But Jeremy wasn’t looking at me. Neither was the other officer. They were both staring at Hannah’s breasts. I quickly looked to Bobby for support. “She drugged me!”

“Save it!” Bobby spat. “Her car’s outside. Where the fuck is she if she’s not here?”

“I have no idea!” I shot back, pulling on a shirt and shoes, getting ready to go out and look for her all over town if I had to. “Do you think she walked back home?”

“I swear to God, Andy, if anything happens to her, I’m going to fucking kill you!”

“No one’s killing anyone,” Jeremy said, still staring at Hannah.

I smacked him across the back of the head. “She’s a crazy bitch. Keep your eyes off her before she drugs you, too.”

“Can you quit it with drug thing?” Bobby yelled.

“Call her phone.”

“She doesn’t have her phone!”

“How did you fuck this up?” I slammed a fist into the wall, ready to beat Bobby to an inch of his life for being so stupid.

“If you hadn’t been convincing my sister that you liked her, while the whole time fucking Crazy Hannah, maybe none of this would have happened in the –” Bobby’s cellphone rang, cutting him off. “Chief! Anything?”

Bobby’s eyes went wide, and he stared at me with a frozen look of shock on his face.

“What is it?” I asked frantically.

“My truck! Now!” Bobby ordered, pocketing his phone and racing out of the apartment.

I stopped Jeremy when he began to give chase. “Her!” I said, pointing at Hannah. “I swear to you, Jeremy, she drugged me. Check the glasses and the whiskey.”

I didn’t wait for him to reply and quickly raced out after Bobby.

Bobby was doing eighty on the Boston Turnpike, weaving through the scant traffic like a madman, on more than one occasion almost driving off the road and killing us in the process. I didn’t tell him to slow down, though. The minute he realized Andrea had left the house, he had called everyone, asking them to call him if anything at all popped up.
