he didn’t have any time for her? This was supposed to be a collaborative effort between the two departments and it was starting to look more and more like a poorly thought out competition.
“You want to act like the rest of the jerks that you call your team go ahead. But while you are the one who is shutting out a major source of information for your investigation I have got one question for you Hollis.” Keegan slammed her hand down against his desk. “I want you to tell me who Cody and Alice Barr trusted enough to let them get so close to their son in a shifted form? Perhaps why the alpha of the prowl seems to be a little off? Think on that while you try and pull your head out of your ass and solve this case by yourself.”
Keegan ignored the shocked faces as she marched from homicide and down the stairs into SIU. She didn’t pay any attention to the concerned glances she got from Leeroy. She scooped up her keys and growled out, “ I’ll be back.”
“Okay. ” Leeroy whistled at the fury that was radiating off of her before he went back to work. Leeroy looked over to Gary who was just as shocked as he was. “Do I even want to know where she might be going?”
“U h,” Gary scratched his forehead. “If she was me she’d probably be burning villages to smithereens but I figure she’s heading to her Mom’s place.”
“Damn. ” Leeroy rubbed his stomach. “If I were Keegan I would never leave that place. The food she makes is heavenly.”
“So should we find out what made her so angry upstairs or should we leave it?” Gary asked after a few moments of fantasizing about food.
Leeroy let out a sigh. “I’m betting it has to do with a certain detective who’s been acting like a jerk since he visited the SD.”
Gary scoffed. “Humans. You can’t live with them and you can’t live without them.”
There were times when the only person you could go to that would understand you or pretend to was one of your parents. So what if Keegan was running home to her mom for a little bit of support, everyone did that at some point? Right?
Despite the bright cheery Christmas lights her mom had hang ing around the house, along with the blow-up snow man she had sitting in the yard, Keegan didn’t have the same holiday cheer everyone else did. She let out an audible growl as soon as she pulled into the driveway of her mother’s house. By the looks of the banged up and rusted four by four Gordon was already visiting. Tapping her fingers on the steering wheel debating whether she should risk it or not Keegan unbuckled her seatbelt and headed towards the front door. She wasn’t letting Gordon and his girlfriend get the better of her. She wanted to have ten minutes where it didn’t feel like someone was breathing down her neck in disapproval because of what she is or need to get things done faster than possible. If that place was at her mom’s, then that is where she was going. Sibling rivalry be damned.
She smacked her palm against the screen door a few times before trying the door and finding it unlocked. She hadn’t even made it out of the foyer when Gordon rounded the corner leading from the kitchen. Keegan focused on the garland that was wrapped around the stair rail dotted with little ornaments all the way up. She was not feeling holly or jolly with facing her brother, even if it was Christmas time.
“Keegan?” He stood dumbstruck. His dark curly hair sat askew and his eyes a bright hazel. He shoved his hands in his pockets and then his eyes locked on to the sight of her gun at her hip and the badge clipped next to it. “You have a gun.”
“ It is part of my job to have one Gordon.” Keegan brushed passed him and plopped down at the kitchen counter. She eyed Jaime distastefully before she focused on her mom who was blinking rapidly trying to clear her vision. Perhaps she couldn’t believe what she was seeing, Keegan willingly being in the same room as her brother and his girlfriend. “Can you
