Across the line

Andrew Fray’s life was … nothing special, but it wasn’t anything to complain about either. Life as a courier for a mobster boss isn’t that bad. That is until he finds himself on the wrong side of the law, and in the custody of Constable Holly Adams. Given a choice between cooperating with Holly and allowing his work for his boss to endanger innocent lives, Andrew chooses the former, becoming a police informant. Three years later, Andrew has turned his life around, and is lawfully employed as a PI. His relationship with Holly has also evolved. They are best friends, and while neither have admitted it, both harbor an unspoken love for each other. It’s not until Holly is given an undercover assignment where she has to play the part of a girlfriend to a dangerous mobster that both are forced to confront the true feelings they have for each other. Across the Line is created by Alex Miller, an eGlobal Creative Publishing signed author.

Chapter 29: Across the Line

Andrew Fray POV:

TWO DAYS LATER

I sat in my hotel room, scrolling through my laptop, and finding nothing helpful. I’d emailed the pictures of the trio from the warehouse back to my firm, but nothing had come up for any of them.

No criminal records.

No positive IDs.

Not even any names.

According to our database, the people I had seen and overheard talking about killing Holly, did not exist. But unless they were ghosts, that wasn’t possible. No one leaves nothing. Those people exist. I just needed help finding them.

I considered calling the Bitch-Queen but decided against it. Yes, the police database would have more than my firm, but then Samantha could get me thrown out of the state since I was going rogue by trying to work a case in a state where I wasn’t licensed. That is what Samantha would do, and I couldn’t let that happen before I got to see Holly again.

That might mean I would be going through more of my old contacts.
