“Why?”
“Apparently Chuck has a whole other life we don’t know about and was already in legal trouble.”
Her eyes grew wide. “Are you serious?”
I nodded. “They asked me all these crazy questions like, did I know anything about his other businesses, and had he ever hired any illegal immigrants as far as I knew?”
“Shit.”
“Or anyone underage.”
“What the hell?”
“Apparently, Pedenko isn’t even his last name.”
“Does this mean I’m finally going to meet Elliot from SVU?”
I laughed. “I don’t think so.”
She furrowed her brow.
“I think someone has to die for him to show up.”
“Too bad.” She scratched her clumping bed head. “So what does that mean for our case?”
“I don’t really know. Nathan said he would keep me posted.”
She nodded.
“But I would assume it’s higher priority now that it’s linked to whatever else they’re investigating.”
“Which can only be a good thing.”
“Right,” I said.
“And the rest of the wedding surprises all came from Aiden in the bedroom?”
I felt my cheeks get warm.
“You don’t have to answer. It was a rhetorical question. Like I said, your face gave you away when you came in the door.”
I sighed.
“Are you so happy, Luce? I mean, I know you’d never admit it, but isn’t this kind of what you always wanted?”
“What?”
“To be the subject of Aiden’s sexual attention?”
“I didn’t not want it.”
“Oh come on. You must be jumping up and down inside.”
“I do feel a bit springy alright.”
“So what’s the problem?”
“There’s no problem.”
