set his hands on his hips as his gaze skipped over each of them, then to the murder boards.
    “I’d like to get our bite mark expert to confirm our conclusions,” Diana suggested.
    “Harris can run the evidence down to him,” Jesus said.
    Diana narrowed her eyes. She hadn’t thought he was the kind of boss to just have David playing gofer. “I’m sure Special Agent Harris could do that, but—”
    “Everyone on this team will be expected to pull their weight,” Jesus said, surprising them all with the implications of his comment.
    A heavy silence followed.
    Maggie finally spoke, her tone laced with a mix of emotions. “You’re adding David to our team?”
    The combination of worry and hopefulness in her voice twisted Diana’s gut.
    The glower on their boss’s face showed his displeasure at her apparent challenge. “Yes. Do you have a problem with that, Dr. Gonzalez?”
    …
    Maggie glanced at David, trying to decide if it was Jesus who had thought up this arrangement or David. Nothing on either of their faces provided a clue, however.
    She also debated whether it was wise to put the two former partners together. There were still so many unresolved issues between them. Then again, maybe, just maybe, working on this case together would help them get over those issues.
    “No problem at all, ADIC Hernandez,” Maggie said. “I have a feeling we’re going to need all the help we can get on this case.”
    With the first hint of a smile easing his features, he looked at Diana. “And you, Special Agent Reyes? Any problem with my decision?”
    “Not at all, ADIC Hernandez.” The only thing more intense than the iciness in Diana’s voice was the glittering heat in her gaze. “Special Agent Harris is a fine and welcome addition to the team,” she said, although Maggie could understand that Diana didn’t like Jesus creating such a volatile mix for the team.
    Jesus jerked as if punched, clearly taken aback by her demeanor. He narrowed his gaze and said, “Don’t bullshit me, Reyes.”
    She lifted her chin in a gesture Maggie recognized as defiance. “Not at all, sir. Special Agent Harris and I have always worked well together. As for Dr. Gonzalez and Special Agent Harris—”
    “We can deal,” Maggie jumped in, not about to admit that having David around constantly might be difficult for her. She hoped David and Diana could work out their problems, but she also wished that she and David would be able to find a way back together.
    For just as Diana had been born to love Ryder, Maggie knew without a doubt that she had been born to love David.
    Diana already had her happily ever after.
    Only time would tell whether Maggie would have hers.

Chapter Six
    Diana groaned inwardly. What had she been thinking , coming with Maggie to the autopsy of last night’s victim?
    She sucked in a breath through her teeth, battling not to hurl at the sight of what was left of the woman. Besides the brutal wounds from the animal attack, there was the masterfully controlled violence of the medical examiner’s art. The Y-incision had already been stitched from the upper body down to what remained of the victim’s lower body, much of which was still in the same condition as last night, only a bit cleaner.
    Somehow that was even more difficult to look at, since now there was no doubt about what was missing from her lower body.
    “I didn’t want to close her until you had a chance to review the wounds and get anything else you might need,” the ME said from the other side of the room. He stood leaning against a worktable, arms tucked across his chest. The pale blue of his scrubs was stained with blood and God knew what else.
    A little hitch came in Diana’s stomach again, but she wrestled it down and walked around the examining table, trying to piece together what might have happened.
    “Your report said there were wounds on her back?”
    At that the medical examiner motioned to an assistant, and together they turned the victim
