Chapter 45

“This is great,” Finn said once he tasted the stew.

“I just threw everything I could find into the pot.”

“Isn’t that what stew is? A way to clean out the fridge and cupboards?” Finn winked.

“I guess?” Luke finally took a taste and was surprised to find that Finn was correct. It wasn’t bad. “So, umm, how was your day?”

“Same old same old. Too many people who think they’re above the law, until they get caught. Then they try to use it as their get out of jail free card.”

“With you on their case, I bet that doesn’t happen much.”

Finn shrugged. “More than I’d like. What did you do to stay busy?”

“Studied. Walked Tae. Studied. I’m going to get my GED if it kills me.”

“I know.” Finn patted his arm. “But it won’t. Kill you, that is. You’re too smart. And do not argue with me about that. You are.”
