“Because the woman who followed Harmony is dead, and the cops who tried to arrest me last night are saying I’m responsible.”
“But you spent the night with her.”
“They don’t know that, and they probably don’t believe it,” Damien said.
“Fucking hell.I’m going with you.”
“No,” Damien barked, stopping his partner.“Look into Grant Pickens.And the woman.Call Demeter, the restaurant where I met Harmony, to get the footage, and find this woman.See if you can figure out more about her.Walker said they’re going to point a finger at Harmony, too.Something is going on, and I need you to figure it out.”
“Okay.I got you.Be safe.”
Damien nodded.“Thanks.”
Jude clapped Damien on the shoulder, then went back to his desk.He said something to Rhett, and the two of them huddled around Jude’s computer.
Damien was grateful for his team.They’d find answers.They’d prove he had nothing to do with it.Clear his name.And Harmony’s.
Damien tried to call Harmony on his way to the police station, but she didn’t answer.He hoped it meant she was at the station already, answering questions and clearing her own name.
When he arrived, Damien asked to see Marcus, knowing the police captain would be the best person for him to speak with.If the other cops wanted to cause a problem for him, he’d deal with that, but first, he needed to see Marcus.
“Thanks for coming in so quickly,” Marcus said, opening the security door to let Damien back to the office.
“Of course.I can’t really help, but I know I need to be here,” Damien said.
“Yeah.I know you, and I’m not worried about how this is going to go.Montgomery called after you left and said if you feel like you need it, he has a lawyer on standby.”
“I hope I don’t need it.”
Marcus nodded.“You shouldn’t, but I can’t tell you not to call someone.Pryce is the one handling this, by the way.”
Damien chuckled.“Okay.”
“What?”
“I saw him this morning.Harmony and I ran into him and Edie getting breakfast.”
Marcus grinned.“I have no doubt this will be quick.”
“Is Harmony here?”Damien asked.
Marcus shook his head.“Not yet.We haven’t been able to get in touch with her.”
“Should we be worried?”
“I’ll keep trying to get her.”
“Okay.”
“Pryce will meet you in here.Hang tight.”Marcus showed Damien to an interrogation room and closed the door, leaving Damien alone.
Damien took a seat, wondering how bad the whole thing was going to be.He had nothing to hide, but he knew that wasn’t always the most important thing in a police investigation.
It wasn’t long before the door opened and Pryce walked in.“Sorry to drag you down here.”
“All good.I was the one who called last night about the woman, so I get that I’d be a suspect.”
“You’re not officially a suspect,” Pryce said.He took a seat across from Damien.
