He wished he could say no. Never. He couldn’t say that, though. “Yes.”

“And when was the last time that occurred?”

Demo. Third anniversary party at the club. They didn’t fuck, only his hand was inside her.

“Maybe a year and a half ago.”

“Were you romantically involved with the decedent at any time?”

Hell to the no.

“No.”

“But you had sex with her? For what, five years? Is that what you’re saying?”

Yeah. People do it all the time, asshole.

“That’s exactly what I’m saying. Yes.”

“You sure about that?”

He arched a brow. “Positive.”

The other detective whispered in the bald guy’s ear and he nodded.

“When did Miss Dara leave your employ?”

Day after the anniversary party.

“A year and a half ago.”

“I see.”

What the fuck do you see?

“And how did she leave?”

Is he kidding?

Brendan was getting tired of this nonsense already. He rolled his eyes. “I don’t know. In an Uber?”

“Think you’re funny?” Baldy scoffed. “Did she quit? Get fired?”

Did it matter?

“Her services were no longer required. She was terminated.”

Baldy smirked to the other one then looked back at him. “You have records to back that up?”

Brendan felt the tick in his jaw. “I do.”

“We’re gonna need to see those because that ain’t the story we got.”

Brendan shrugged. “Well, that’s the truth.”

“Did you ever see Miss Dara after she left your…” He cleared his throat. “…employ?”

“Ran into her a few times.”
