Chapter 6

“I knew it! You punched a cop you wanted to bone. Oh my god, this is awesome! I wish I’d been there.” He rubbed his hands together with too much glee for my liking. Maybe a murder was in his future.

“Why do I even talk to you?” I huffed, shaking my head as he chortled all over again. “I’m going back to work, idiot.”

“You better keep me posted on this, lover boy. I want to hear what happens next.”

“Don’t hold your breath.”

I was just falling asleep on Tuesday night when I heard a knock on the door. What the fuck? No one, not even Jerry, had ever bothered me after eleven o’clock in the evening. Grumpy, I sat up in bed and threw off the covers, disturbing Rapunzel, who hissed at me and disappeared somewhere before I stomped over to the door, and yanked it open. Rapunzel reappeared and I had to use my foot to keep her from darting out into the corridor since I wasn’t in the mood to go chasing after her at this time of night. Anytime, really.
