... identity and then notify the Chief. It appears he wants to speak with you. I'm surprised he's not here by now."

I thought about her last proclamation. Surprised he's not here already. That meant he was close and this time of day it meant he lived close. And she knew he lived close. I was about to go down a rabbit hole of my own when a late model sedan pulled up and an unassuming man stepped out and walked in. He took one look at our party and frowned. "Thank you, officers, for locating him for me. I'll take it from here." he said dismissively.

"Carpenter. Pugh. Thank you for your company and please make sure you get a refill before you leave." I offered. Both officers smiled at my offer but refused when they caught the Chief glaring at them.

Once they were safely out of earshot, Chief Daniels turned to me and asked, "Alright Coats, what the Hell are you doing in my city?"

I stopped mid sip of my coffee and looked at the chief coldly. "Let's get something straight, you and I. I think you've forgotten yourself here. I outrank you. Do we have that clear or do I need to make a phone call and have that point driven home?" He flinched just enough I saw it.

Chief Daniels dropped his eyes to the table in front of him.

"I'm not entirely happy at the moment Chief but I can't blame you solely. But I'll let you make it up to me in two ways. The first, spread the word I am in town but not to be disturbed. I don't want a bunch of people interfering on my private time with my wife. Secondly, I want you to begin looking for a replacement for my current Liaison Officer. He's on the take and I can't nor won't trust a dirty cop. You never know where their loyalty lies."

"I can have a list of candidates ready for you whenever you need them." He offered conciliatory.

"For my own personal peace of mind, how long have you known Juarez was dirty?" I asked.

"I didn't. But if you say he is then I have to believe you. I'll have him reassigned."
