“Right. I’ll ask Bryant about this when I see him.”
“Thanks for moving on this so quickly.”
“Putting an arsonist behind bars is important. One of my best friends is a firefighter, after all.” Sienna smiled, grabbed a piece of toast off Lana’s plate.
“What’s wrong?”
“Everything.”
“Why didn’t you call me?”
“I’m so confused, I don’t know how to express what I’m feeling.”
“Start at the beginning.”
“You know that this arson thing has gotten me into hot water. My father found out and he came over last night, embarrassed me in front of Sean. I sent Sean home and had it out with my dad.”
“What did you say, Lana?”
“That I was tired of him telling me what to do. Now I’m not so sure what I want.”
“But you have opportunities, right?”
“Yes.”
“Can’t go wrong with that. I think you should do what makes you happy, Lana. Don’t worry about how it affects other people.”
“Do you love being a cop?”
“Yes. I can’t imagine doing anything else.”
“It’s not that clear-cut for me.”
“It will be, just work it out in your head.”
“Then there’s Sean.”
“What about him?”
“He’s changed from my best friend into this lethal hunk with attitude all over the place. I can’t seem to tell him about the test or articulate what’s going on with me.”
“Lana, your relationship with him has changed entirely. Why don’t you give it time?”
“I wish I knew what to do.”
“Are you sure it’s Sean who’s changed?”
“You always ask me the tough questions, Sienna.”
“Answer them now, Lana. Believe me. It’s best to deal with your emotions now rather than later.”
“This dare I pushed you all into. I did it on purpose because I wanted a reason to go after him. I should have left our relationship alone. I don’t think he and I can just be friends anymore.”
“Discovery is sometimes a violent thing.”
“So isn’t change?”
“That it is. Listen, why don’t you think on it some more and call me if you need me. You got me in on this case and I want to find this guy for you. It worries me that he’s on the street.”
