Love & Bullets: Megabomb Edition by Nick Kolakowski
His eyes rolled from side to side, trying to lock on me, but I made a point of standing directly behind him.
“What now?” he asked.
I scanned the empty corridor. “Where’s your partner?”
“What?”
“The guy you’re on shift with.” He shook his head. “Had to leave.”
I would choose to believe that for the moment. “Where’s that FBI guy?”
“He had to leave, too.” Another swallow. “Somebody called something in. Something big.”
What was bigger than me wiping out most of this county’s police force, along with its corrupt sheriff and probably a few townies? Suddenly I understood how Elvis must have felt when he heard about the Beatles for the first time, overshadowed by something far bigger. I was tempted to ask about the nature of the emergency, but my soul would have been crushed if he’d said my infamy was eclipsed by a shootout at the local meth lab.
