I look at her with question.
“Chloe told me you’d talked about a kennel and a pet spa. She’s worried you’ll never have a life if all you do is work.”
“I want him caught. Chloe shouldn’t have to worry about him fucking up her life now that she finally has the one she deserves.”
“CeCe, you deserve that, too.”
I unlock the door. “I have it. Chloe made sure I did.”
Gwen walks in ahead of me and almost immediately holds up a hand to stop me. My entire body goes rigid when I hear whistling.
She holds a finger to her mouth as she reaches inside her jacket and starts to pull out her gun.
“Hey,” I whisper as I grab her jacket.
She looks back at me.
“It could be any one of my people here. You can’t go in there, waving around a damn gun.”
Her brows shoot up. “How many have access?”
“Doc and his wife.” I scowl.
“They ever here this early? They whistlers?” She cups her ear. “Do they shower here?”
“Fair point, but the whistle is clearly female, and whoever it is, I doubt they’d be armed and showering at six in the morning.”
“And William could have easily picked up a partner, who might just be female.”
I shake my head. “I know that whistle. I think it’s Cora; she works here.”
“She have access to keys?”
“It’s possible.” It’s not like she couldn’t have gotten a copy if she needed it. “Let me go first.”
“Hell no,” she snarls.
“It wasn’t a request.” I walk past her.
“Dammit, Cecilia.”
When I get to my office door, I find it is cracked open and slip inside, Gwen right on my heels. On the floor is a duffel bag, and draped over my desk chair is a pair of scrubs that I know well.
“It’s Cora, and like I said, she works here.”
“How do you know?” she whispers back.
“She loves big dogs, and she cannot lie.”
Her face scrunches up. “What?”
I point to the scrubs that say just that. “They’re hers.”
Gwen positions herself between me and the bathroom door, which is also cracked open.
“We should let her get dressed and?—”
An ear-piercing scream rips through the air and then, “Oh my God. Oh my God! Oh! My! God!”
