And it almost always did.
“I’m a little caught off guard, since I fully expected him to bitch and moan,” Gene admitted, tucking his phone away.
Ethan snorted.
Yeah, him too.
The past had taught them that when it came to Corbin Price. He was a wildcard.
And not in a good way.
“I know. You should have seen your face when he actually agreed.”
Oh, he bet.
Only, this turned out to be a good sucker-punch.
For.
Once.
Shaking his head in amusement, he pointed at the morgue.
“Let’s get this done, because now we have to add a club to the interview list, on top of searching the dead agent’s home, and interviewing the people who work at Jaden’s restaurant.”
Yeah, it was a growing list.
That was for sure.
As they headed in, Ethan stayed behind Gene, mostly because he was admiring his ass in his jeans. The other reason was his perpetual hard-on—thanks to a cage.
The bear was blocking any view of his…situation.
The last thing he needed was everyone in the whole world to know what was going on in his pants. Not that it was embarrassing, but because it just made it more difficult to not think about it.
Oh, and he was definitely thinking about it.
Next time, he was wearing less snug pants. That he wanted there to be a next time gave him chills because Ethan absolutely did.
He was living his best life with this man.
And he couldn’t wait to see what else he came up with in the future.
Once in the morgue, they found Ben Crowley sitting on a rolling stool, working on a clipboard.
There was no doubt he was handling the paperwork that went with the dead body they’d tagged him in on last night.
They’d been to this rodeo before.
That and they’d given himPLENTYof time to do a full autopsy, and have tox back.
“Agents,” he said, getting up and heading their way. “I was wondering when you were coming in for an update,” he offered.
Yeah, well, they were here now, and hopefully, he’d have something they could use of value.
Because they needed something.
For them, this was day one, and they were hitting the ground running. The last thing they wanted to do was stall this investigation, and have it take all week.
