That.
I’d be getting my fucking dance.
Even if I had to piss him off before I got it.

“What did the chief have to say about you keeping me updated on the case?” I asked Eurie.
Eurie was another detective with the BPD.
She was also damn good at her job, and easy on the eyes.
The unsuspecting criminals always fell for her pretty looks before she whipped out a dick bigger than most men.
Well, not literally or anything, but she was a ball buster. She didn’t take shit from anybody: man, woman, or child.
I’ve considered her a friend for a couple of years now.
She was one of two female detectives on the force. She and Detective Hernandez often got paired up on assignments, and they had a clearance rate of ninety four percent, five percent above my own.
Which was to be expected.
I didn’t ever get the suspects to open up to me. All of myaccomplishments came from hard work and determination, not my smooth talking mouth.
“He didn’t care. He knew we were going to be sharing it with you. You have better insight on the inner workings of the rapists’ mind than we do. It’d be stupid to kick you off the case completely,” she shrugged. “I just wanted to come tell you that Detective Hernandez and I were partnered up, and that we’d be taking over, officially, from now on. If you get any leads, please call my cell.”
We’d hooked up when she’d first gotten on the force, and randomly on and off since then, but our relationship never went further than sex. She’d actually been my only sexual partner for going on two years now. Which had ended the moment I saw Channing a year ago.
She’d called only once in the past year, and I’d told her, immediately, that I was involved with someone. Then again, just because I wasn’t fucking her didn’t mean that I didn’t like and respect her.
“Good,” I rumbled as I surveyed our surroundings.
We’d gone outside, and then circled behind the bar so we could talk without any interference. Unfortunately, it left us more isolated, and I didn’t hear what was going on in the bar.
“Okay, I’ll check in with you tomorrow evening. I’ve got a date. Night, lover,” Eurie teased.
I rolled my eyes. “Night, Eurie.”
Shoving my hands into my pockets to try to alleviate the cold, I walked around the corner of the bar, and into a mad house.
“What the fuck is going on?” I yelled over the music to Cleo.
Cleo was sitting at the very first table that was off set to the door.
It was the only one in the little nook, and the only one Cleo liked to sit in.
He was sipping his beer and watching the crowd that had gathered in the corner of the room.
“Your girl’s dancing on the fire pole,” he said lightly.
I froze for a few precious seconds, reading Cleo’s face, and judging whether he was serious or not.
When I deemed that he was, indeed, serious, I whipped around and started shoving my way through the crowd.
I noticed, as I went, that I elbowed Silas out of the way, but at that moment in time, I could care less.
