“Thanks, my love,” Ethan said, grateful to his man. The last thing he wanted to do was leave Corbin alone. He was struggling.
“I’ll text you anything that we get that you can use to start working this,” Gene said. “See you later, handsome.”
And with that, he hung up.
As Ethan sat there, he considered the situation at hand, and what Gabe was doing. Normally, he’d be pissed that Gabe had dropped this on them.
Only, now that he had Gene…
It was bearable.
The question was…
How long would this city not irritate the shit out of him?
It looked as if they were going to find out.

Saturday
Mid-Morning
What Elizabeth really liked was Saturdays not working where she could lounge around and enjoy the day off from chasing killers. For her, that was like a little reward for all of the hard work.
Honestly, time off combined with Saturdays were few and far between in her world, but once in a while, she got damn lucky to have a weekend off.
And when she got lucky, that meant one important thing.
Chris got lucky too.
Since he’d snuck away that morning to take care of some of his other business, his literal businesses, she knew where she’d find him.
At that very moment, she’d bet he was in his office, toiling away at work like a diligent CEO.
Someone was working hard, so she was going to do something romantic.
For.
A.
Change.
Chris was always doing nice things for her, and it was about time she shared in the work.
Since coming back from their Christmas break in Tahiti, they’d been working back-to-back cases. They were grinding them out as they took on the world.
Elizabeth was proving that she was climbing the ladder the hard way—by earning it, and he was doing the same by writing countless papers to be published.
There were symposiums, and conferences that he attended, getting speaking gigs to progress his career in forensics.
All the while, holding up the forensic unit for the FBI. Yeah, Doctor Christopher Leonard was making a name for himself.
And Elizabeth couldn’t be prouder.
