“Finally.” Kyra dropped into the cracked faux-leather chair positioned across from the director’s desk. “I am so ready to close this case. You have no idea.” “Yeah, actually, I do.” The look Nico gave her spoke volumes. He understood because she’d had to give full disclosure when she asked for the transfer from Dallas to Detroit. While her previous director hadn’t bothered to check that the door didn’t slam her in the ass on the way out, her current boss hadn’t wanted to take on another agent without knowing all the facts. All of them. So, Nico knew she had been chasing the same perp for damn near two years now. Knew the case had been a hairsbreadth away from closing about a year ago. He knew why she hadn’t closed it, too. Even after everything went sour, when her perp disappeared like smoke, even after her former boss told her to quit chasing shadows and move on with her life, Kyra hadn’t relented. And it paid off. Eight months ago, she’d caught a break, figured out the perp had relocated to the Detroit area.
