Hostage Pursuit
Page 20
Dulcie said Officer Shaw was one of two people who knew about her research. Shaw belonged to the municipal police department and was a rising star. When he talked, people took notice. Did his popularity extend to the county sheriff’s department too? How deep...or high did his influence go? And why was McGuire so resistant to giving Austin details about the phone call? For the first time, he questioned the motives of a man he respected and considered a friend.
“Is that an order, Lieutenant?”
His superior stiffened. “If that’s how you want to take it.”
“I think that’s how I have to take it.”
McGuire dropped the file to the desk. “That’s fine, Turner. Take it any way you like. Just see that you do it.”
Righteous senses bristling, Austin turned his back on his mentor and stalked out of the office to find Dulcie Parker’s number. His boss’s uncharacteristic actions just pushed him over the edge. Something was going on and Austin intended to find out what it was. Ms. Parker just became his number-one priority.
