Chapter 234

INT. - DR. PANTHER'S OFFICE to INT. CICI'S APARTMENT - MORNING

Kinsey couldn't help but worry about Ray even as she left her behind in the morgue. Sure, she knew her friend was tired, but it was more than that. The hurt in her eyes, the guarded, brittle shell she hid behind more and more lately, had to do with Cici.

With Gerri running off to continue her investigation, Kinsey had two options. She could tag along with the detective and more than likely get in the way. Or, she could make a friendly stop at Cici's office and have a chat with the therapist.

Since this wasn't a weird case, Gerri really didn't need her. Easy enough to reason away her continued participation. And it wasn't like President Mickerel would be tracking her every move to make sure she was following up on his orders. Kinsey snorted as she climbed behind the wheel of her red convertible and fired up the engine. She was so far done from following orders, he had no idea.
