on the waitress. He was too in love with his soon-to-be wife to give any other woman a second look.
    â€œSorry I’m late,” Logan said as he slid into the booth opposite Gavin. “Had to get fitted for my tuxedo.”
    â€œWon’t be long now,” Gavin said. “Are you sure you’re ready?”
    Logan frowned. “I couldn’t be more ready if the wedding happened tomorrow.”
    Gavin glanced over his friend’s shoulder. “Where’s Jake? I saw him standing on the sidewalk a minute ago.”
    Logan chuckled. “I think he’s still kissing babies. Someone needs to tell him the campaign’s over and since he won, that’s not necessary.”
    â€œWhere are the rest of the guys?” Gavin asked. Only three of the five others currently assisting him in solving Malcolm Durmorr’s murder were accounted for.
    â€œMark’s got a self-defense class,” Logan said. “He’s been booked solid since the announcement that Jonathan Devlin was murdered. Now with Malcolm dead, people are getting nervous, especially the women in town.”
    â€œA killer on the loose can do that.” Something Gavin had discovered during his tenure as a homicide detective with the Dallas PD. Ironically he’d left that job behind for a quieter life. Now that quiet life involved not one but two murders. “Tom and Rose still honeymooning?”
    â€œYeah. They’ll be back next week. Connor’s working on rebuilding the barn that Durmorr burned down.”
    Before Durmorr had kidnapped Tom’s pregnant wife, the sorry bastard. Luckily Rose was safe now, and Gavin was grateful for that even if Durmorr had escaped shortly thereafter, only to end up on the wrong side of a gun. “I’ll call Connor and Mark later and catch them up on the investigation.”
    â€œWe can also talk after the wedding.”
    Gavin let go a cynical laugh. “Good idea, Voss. I’m sure that will thrill Melissa.”
    â€œJust a brief meeting.” Logan patted his chest and grinned. “I don’t want to put off the wedding night any longer than necessary.”
    The bell sounded and in walked Jacob Thorne, newly elected mayor. He greeted Valerie, then made his way to the table and slid in beside Logan. “Sorry it took so long. I had some business to attend to.”
    Gavin grinned. “Still politickin’, Jake?”
    â€œJust trying to alleviate a woman’s concern about the murders,” he said. “So let’s get on with it. Chrissie’s waiting lunch on me.”
    Logan and Gavin exchanged a glance before Logan said, “I like a good nooner now and again.”
    Jake leaned back in his seat. “No kidding. Nothing better than a little afternoon delight with the wife.”
    Gavin wished they would quit talking about their active sex lives when his was nonexistent. “Okay, then let’s get on with it so you guys can get it on with your ladies. I have some information on Malcolm’s murder.”
    All jesting went by the wayside as both Jake and Logan leaned forward, giving their full attention to Gavin. “The preliminary findings show that Durmorr was shot five times,” he began. “He took four in the upper torso, including one in the heart, and one in the groin.”
    Logan and Jake shifted in their seats simultaneously. A dead-aim shot to the jewels gave most men cause to twitch, even though Gavin had seen it before. If the guy hadn’t been dead by then, that would’ve been enough to kill him. “The bullets were .38-caliber. The one in the heart probably did him in. But the one below his belt leads me to believe this was real personal.”
    â€œNo gun recovered yet?” Logan asked.
    â€œNope,” Gavin said. “Chief Vincente sent out some of the city boys to assist my deputies with scouring the murder scene, but so far nothing. They did find some other interesting evidence
