Oh, Lewis was well aware.
“Anyway, LaRue, I don’t know why those four, but that’s not my job. My job is to watch, cover for The Hunters, and I can say they didn’t take and kill them.”
She was aware.
They tended to not kill cops if they were clean.
“Were those four dirty?” she asked.
He shook his head.
“Nope. Not from the intel I have,” he said. “Sorry, EL. I wish I could say you didn’t have more on your plate, but you do.”
Of course, she did.
“Fuckity. I love that city, but I hate that city. It’s a pain in my ass.”

The criminals loved it.

“Don’t say it,” she warned.
Only, he did.
When he said the name, she went red.
Fuchsia.
Scarlet.
Oh, and almost nuclear.
Yeah, he’d better be yanking her chain because she would McLoseIt.
“Artemis? Are you freaking kidding me?” she asked. “Please say that’s a joke.”
Oh, he wished.
He nodded.
“Not a joke, and yes, it’s her. She bought up some mercenaries to handle them. I just don’t know why. You’re going to have to figure that out.”
Well, that was all she needed.
