"Were you always this bossy? Somehow I missed that." At least it didn’t look like she was going to give me much of an argument, even though she pouted.

"It's not bossy baby, it's called being territorial. I don't even want the kid you had a crush on in junior high anywhere near you. Get used to it babe, I have a feeling I'm always going to feel that way about you. Now give me a kiss so I can go deal with this asshole."

We shared one last kiss before I hopped back in the jeep and headed out, feeling like I was leaving the best part of me behind.

Chapter 17

Of course the first person I see is Carter when I make it to the station. I tried to avoid him, because there was nothing to be said between us, unless I was saying it with my fists.

Shania and her family were due here a little later to meet with the agent and hopefully that would be the end of her part in the investigation.

"Chase, I want to talk to you."

"About what?"

"About the case, just because I can't talk to my...ex, doesn't mean that I can't talk to you."

The smirk on his face told me that he was trying to get a rise out of me, no dice. I got the girl that was all I wanted out of this equation, so he could smirk and sneer all he wanted, he wasn't going to move me.

Unless of course he said something about her, then I'd wipe the floor with his ass no question.

"I'll give my statement to your partner later." I started to walk away, but of course, being the asshole that he is, he couldn’t leave well enough alone.

"You'll give it to me now." He actually tried placing himself in my way. I hate to say it, but my baby had poor fucking taste when she got tangled up with this one. The prick had absolutely no redeeming qualities whatsoever. Unless you went for the boorish, overbearing type.

Somehow seeing this in him made me feel better. She’d been settling; that was obvious now.

There’s no way she would’ve gone through with it; I’m almost convinced of that.

I just can’t see her wasting her life on this piece a shit. No wonder she hadn’t slept with him; she never had any intentions to. I felt like smiling again.

"Fuck you Carter, you don't tell me what to do, you don't have any jurisdiction over me. And if you push this little power play, I will go over your head and bury you. I don't usually play dick games, but for you, I'll make an exception. I hate your guts, I hate everything about your rapist ass, you disgust me, now get the fuck out of my face. Oh and my princess isn't your ex, she was never your anything."

"Is that what she told you, because I..."

"Stop, stop, stop, you're lying, we both know you're about to lie, you were never there and you never will be." I looked him square in the eye as he fumed.

I saw murder in his eyes as realization dawned. Oh yeah, this one could kill in cold blood. Don't look now Dorian Carter, but you just earned yourself an enemy, one that will make it his new mission in life to destroy you.

Some people let the power of position go to their heads. I'm sure if I dug deep enough I'd find some skeletons in this jerk's closet. Of course I was doing it as a sort of revenge for Shania, but I'll have fun doing it either way.

"This isn't over Chase."

"I'm glad you know that." I moved out of the way before he could body check me, because I wouldn't let even that little thing go.

I was feeling mean where he was concerned, if he even breathed wrong in my town, I was going to make him pay. Fucking prick.

I met the Spaldings outside when they finally showed up. Shania had ridden in with her dad because I'd told them I didn't want her riding alone and I couldn't leave to come get her.

I didn't watch through the glass as she gave her statement. I'd already given mine and was even now working on my theory.

I'd had to let the Captain in on what I was doing, so he could cut through the red tape for me without throwing up any red flags, and just as I'd expected, he was more than happy to help out. Carter had made a very shitty impression on him.

Impressions though, didn’t hold any weight in a court of law, so I needed evidence. As much as I wanted to rush and find whatever I could, however I could, I was thinking ahead.

I knew if anything came of this there was no way the entangled relationships involved wouldn’t come to light.
