Dinner Date Ch. 05

... just shook my head as my meeting with the Chief later in the afternoon was certainly going to cause Det. Juarez to have an even worse day by the time, we were through. We needed to go back to my car to check it for a tracking device. If there was one, I would let the good detective explain it to the Chief when he was called in. He opened to door and jumped out complained about me blowing his cover. I told him he didn't have to worry about his "cover" as the house he was sitting in front of was empty and would be for at least another week. I also let him know he needed, at the very least, to come up with a much better cover story. With that Kelly and I walked off. She was keeping an eye on him as we left.

I told her he wasn't going to do anything, at least not yet, so she could relax for now. She asked how he might have found us and I told her about my suspicions of a tracker on the car. I told her it was just a guess but I found the coincidence of him in our neighborhood hours after I fired him too much. I suspected he did it once the Chief informed him, he was being reassigned. She asked if I was always this paranoid? "It's not paranoia if the threat is real." I informed her. She wasn't sure how to respond to that. Honestly, I wasn't either.

I told her once everything was back to normal; we would be able to visit again but until then I wasn't going to be making a visit to any of the Houses. She apologized for her behavior and jealousy over Hilda. I told her to forget it but next time something like this happened, maybe she needed to withhold any judgement until she had all the facts first.I know, I need to practice what I preached as well, so bite me.

The meeting with the Chief went better than I had expected but not as well as I would have liked. All his liaison candidates came from the same pool as Det Juarez. I just had to look at him and shake my head until Kelly spotted a folder on the Chief's desk. It seems a couple of patrol officers were up for promotion and I asked if I could be allowed to review them.

I know it's against protocol but the chief had already struck out twice with me and he knew it. One more strike and it was likely heads would end up rolling. He was pretty sure his would be one of them.

Three of the officers I was leaning towards had only been on the force for about five years but had shown considerable intuition as well as an impressive arrest/conviction rate. One name kept rising to the top of the list but the file indicated they had been turned down for promotion twice before. A third rejection and they were ...
