Chapter 53

“I’m not the one so embarrassed anyone knows I take bottom that I drop things.”

Chad’s face turned red, but he kept his eyes on his phone. So he’d caught on that he didn’t have to respond. Well, it was fun annoying him while it lasted.

Kiko and Gordon shuffled up, the police chief looking bored as usual.

“So, where’s this lead you boys have for me?” he asked. Kiko shot Dom a meaningful look and even Chad looked up from his phone. Dom cast a glance around the gym, but it didn’t look like anyone was paying any attention to them.

He reached into his pocket and pulled out the jewelry. Gordon pulled up his pants in surprise

“Awesome,” said Chad, leaning forward on his chair. “Where did you get those?”

“That’s what I’d like to know,” said Gordon. Dom could tell the situation was serious because he wasn’t pulling out his pad for lengthy notetaking. He slipped the jewelry back in his pocket to keep it out of sight and nodded to the table.

“They’re in the eggs,” he said.
