"Brody!"
He swiped his badge and walked into his building, leaving her outside. She had a badge; she could get in.
Derek pounced as soon as he walked in the door. "Sarge, I separated them. The guy in number three is the weakest link. He's sweating bullets and glancing around. His knees are bouncing. The other three are cold as ice." Derek fell into step with him. "When are we talking to them?"
"Captain wants them on ice while we clean up a bit. Have you started your report?"
"Yep. I hate paperwork, so I get it done and out of the way. Man, the leap to the top of the truck was fucking awesome. One day, though, you're going to land on your ass."
"Nah, that's what all those box jumps at CrossFit are for." He motioned Derek toward his desk in the bullpen. "Send me the prints for these guys, and I'll see if I can get some magic help to identify them."
"Dude, who do you know? No one else can get anything pushed through quickly." Derek plopped his ass behind his desk as Amber entered the bullpen.
He pinned her with a glare. "Do you have a desk yet?"
She shook her head no. Her jaw was clenched shut, and from the flush on her cheeks, she was pissed.
"Derek, put Agent Swanson at Harrison's desk. He's on vacation for the next two weeks. By the time he's back, we'll have a computer for her, and we can pull a desk up from the basement next door. Get her logins and show her how to print."
Derek's face lit up. "Absolutely, I've got her covered."
He didn't doubt it. Derek was a notorious flirt, and if you listened to the man's claims, he never slept alone, although he wasn't strapped down with a relationship. Whatever. He spun on his heel and headed to his office. He needed time to breathe without looking at the woman he loved. Used to love.

About the Author
I am an avid reader of romance novels, often joking that I cut my teeth on the historical romances. I have been reading and reviewing for years.In 2013, I finally gave into the characters in my head, screaming for their story to be told. From these musings, my first novel, Emma’s Home, The Fairfield Series was born.
I was a high school counselor having worked in education for thirty years. I live in Virginia, having also lived in four states and two foreign countries. I have been married to a wonderfully patient man for thirty-five years. When writing, my dog or one of my four cats can generally be found in the same room if not on my lap.
