turned, she motioned to his nakedness.
Reaching into an open closet to her left, she hauled out a turquoise and black
plaid cowboy shirt.
    "Cover up the
body before we have every horny female in the neighborhood chasing after the
car."
    "He moved
closer to take the shirt and then the cheeky bugger grinned. “Thanks, sunshine.
You give a nice compliment."
    “I can give a good
kick in the ass also.” As soon as her earlier words registered, she'd have
given a months pay to get them back. "Must be the pain screwing with my
eyesight."
    Just then two
uniformed officers announced themselves and ran into the room, weapons drawn.
    Holding up their
shields, Kai and Aurora calmed the tension. Then Kai waved and made good his
escape moments before their Lieutenant arrived on the scene.
    “Aurora, I was heading
home when I heard over the radio that you’d been shot. Figured Debbie would
have my ass if I didn’t check it out. I’m happy to see you on your feet.”
    “It’s just a
scratch, Cory…ahh I mean Boss. You tell my old partner to stop babying me all
the time. Pretty soon she’ll need to concentrate on the little lieutenant
growing in her tummy.”
    “You tell her
yourself. I don’t have that kind of nerve.” Acting silly, the tall redheaded
guy shook his head and made his eyes swell from mock fear.
    Aurora laughed and
then winced. Damn arm hurt like hell.
    Noticing her
paleness, Cory bellowed. “We need some medical —”
    Ambulance
attendants rushed in before he could finish the sentence. They put the
stretcher down beside her.
    “Get that thing
away from me.” Her growl got their attention and they stopped.   She wouldn’t tolerate being stuffed into a
cot on wheels like a big baby. “Just patch me up. We have to move. Boss, Kai
gave me the address where he’s sure Rhondo is heading. Probably has money
stashed. And I wouldn’t be surprised if he stored fake ID’s like we figured he
used the last time he’d disappeared. Kai suspects he’ll try and grab the lot.”
    “Okay let the
medics patch up that arm, and don’t look at it or we’ll need the smelling
salts.”
    Aurora couldn’t
believe her ears. “Your big-mouth wife spilled the beans, didn’t she?”
      “I forced it out of her.” Was that a wink?
She knew he didn’t have a twitch. “Wait’ll I see her.”
      “Put that thought on hold.   Get cleaned up and we’ll head out.” He
scrutinized the room and soon orders were given to anyone who stood around
looking stupid. “Tape off the crime scene and get whatever prints you can.” Two
officers, newly arrived, were stopped in their tracks.   “You two, canvas the neighborhood for any
potential witnesses. Maybe someone got a good look at one of the vehicles or
the partiers. An officer was shot and the sleaze that shot her is going down.
Now everyone—move!”
