Chapter 196

INT. - SILVER CITY MORGUE - NOON

Gerri held her temper despite Cici rubbing her face in her "ownership" of Ray. Not that the medical examiner would ever see that little display as anything but open affection. But Gerri knew better. Cici might as well have just rubbed her scent all over a giant "stay away" sign then taped to Ray's back.

It irritated Gerri that her friend didn't see Cici's manipulation. Worse, that Gerri hadn't seen through the therapist from day one. Imagine, she'd actually liked the woman at first. So not like her to miss the signs of such blatant sociopathy. Still, if Cici wanted to take Gerri on over Ray, the detective knew who'd win.

Poor Cici had no idea what she was up against.

For now, Gerri just had to trust this would end up a brief fling like all of Ray's relationships. She and Kinsey would be there when Ray was done, ready to move on to her next one night stand or brief encounter. Just like old times.
