That’s what he should be doing. Instead he was driving a couple of hours away from her to meet with another woman. Not just another woman. Another witness. Jackson and Phillips had agreed that someone should meet personally with Olivia Jensen to alert her to the need for increased security. Since he’s already been briefed on the woman because she might be connected to Ruby’s case, they’d decided he should go. Maybe they thought he was getting too close to Jade. If they thought that, they’d be right. He’d taken a giant step over the line last night. He ought to be beating himself up with regret over it. But he wasn’t. Usually his instincts and his training worked in tandem. Not this time. He was nearing the small town café where the meet had been arranged. For the past fifty miles he’d been tempted to pick up the cell phone and call Jade, just for the pleasure of hearing her voice. If he was going to call her before this meeting, it had to be now. He glanced at his watch.
