Chapter 39

“Lieutenant Price wants a meeting with you and Brody. When can you come down to the precinct?”

“I…Umm.” Sage thought about his schedule for the next couple of days. “Tomorrow? Around three?”

“Tomorrow meaning Friday, since it’s already Thursday?”

“Yeah.”

“Okay. Talk to Brody, first, to make sure it’s all right with him.”

“Do you really think the lieutenant will go for this?”

Mike held up crossed fingers. “I think so. It’ll mean you’re going to be on-call at any hour of the night, in case I catch a murder.”

Sage shrugged. “Sleep is highly overrated.”

“Says you. Me? I’m going to go home and fall into bed.” Mike paused, and then gave Sage a quick hug. “I know this was out of the blue. Thanks for…at least agreeing to talk with him.”
