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 11: Across the Line

Andrew Fray POV:

Holly and I were in the bar, though we had taken a secluded booth instead of our usual place at the counter.

That was a good thing considering we didn’t want anyone to overhear our conversation. And I didn’t want people to overhear how pissed I was over this.

“So, because I walked in on two maniacs trying to cut up my client’s father, your superiors are sending you to Boston to get up close and personal with the man who ordered him killed. Is that the gist of it?”

“Pretty much,” Holly replied, taking a sip of her drink.

That didn’t make sense to me. At all.

“Why you, Holly? I asked. “If people want someone to go undercover, why send you? Why not send someone higher up like a fed? And why send someone who lives so far away from Boston? Doesn’t Boston have its own cops?”

“Boston has cops,” Holly confirmed, sounding grim. “That’s part of the problem. We got an ID on the other guy you saw. The one helping to cut up the body.”
