Ethan had co to Leduc It was a how most men preferred to talk to an attractive wo to flirt a little while she did it Angel could be almost as hard-nosed as I was, but she went the soft, flirty way much better than I did when it suited her purpose It suited her purposes now I knew she could flirt, but I hadn’t realized she could use it as a negotiation ploy I could never use it that way I either flirted with intent to date or I didn’t flirt I just didn’t flirt well enough for anything in between Duke was an olderattention to theuess most people who are into woe areto come of it

He lowered his voice and said, “Go question your witness Try to find us ets here Angel and I will get us in to see Bobby”

“I thought you were done with the PDA, Blake,” Leduc said
“We’re trying to talk quietly so as not to interrupt you, Duke That’s all, no hand-holding”
Leduc narrowed his eyes at us “I don’t usually touch the people I’el here area booty call, Blake”
“You don’t have to have a good opinion of me, Sheriff If you let Ethan and the rest of our people help us with Bobby, then you can hate me all you want”
“I didn’t say I hated you, Blake”
“Thanks, LeDuke”
He nodded at me “You’re welcome, but I need you to tell me exactly how they can help you with this case”
Ethan started to say so, but Leduc held his hand up “Not from you, from Blake” Leduc looked at me expectantly
