Turbulence: Book One in The Renegades Saga
Page 33
“He’s at it again.” Disgust crossed Karyn’s face. “His girlfriend said he dropped the cartel, detective. But Limere lied a lot, so who knows. He still smokes marijuana, so he’s not totally drug-free.”
“You’ve got to be kidding,” Travis said, unable to stop himself. “We're talking about Dalara, right?”
“Only guy I know with that weird last name. Aviere’s is different.”
Suddenly, I want to break Mye’s leg so she gets another six weeks off work. Investigating the Zodiac Cartel with Mye—
“Detective, you shouldn’t be surprised if you're in cahoots with Aviere. Limere’s girlfriend is convinced he straightened up, but who knows?” Her eyes glanced at the pink kitty watch resting against her inner wrist. “Limere used and sold drugs, so I’m not sure what to believe. Part of me believes he’s innocent, considering Reggie’s death cut him. They were close. If anyone would know the cartel’s activities, it’d be Limere. Some of his contacts remained after his incarceration.”
“I see.” Travis swallowed the growing lump in his throat. “Thank you for your time, Miss Greene.”
The trench-coated agent sighed and headed back to the Focus, trying to gauge Peters’ reaction by reading his partner’s lips. He tipped his cowboy hat, grateful for the cool autumn air hitting his flushed face.
Yeah, definitely need to meet with Sanderson about pulling Mye from this case. I’m not stopping her if Peters interferes and tries arresting the poor bastard. Either that or reassigned. This will get nowhere fast.
“Aren’t you going to ask me where to find Limere?” Karyn called.
“I’ll figure it out,” Travis answered, hoping Peters surprised him when he returned to the car.
But as Travis arrived at the silver Focus, Peters darkened scowl caused the knots in Travis’ stomach to churn, adding to the sense of foreboding enshrouding Travis’ heart.
Author’s Note
Thank you for reading Turbulence, and I hope you enjoyed the first book of The Renegades Saga.
This series presents a different look into several aspects of the paranormal, mystery, crime, thriller, and dystopia. Baltimore City always fascinated me, considering it was part of my childhood. But what would happen if paranormal, humans, and shifters were to interact with each other? In different series, the focus always centered on a vampire or werewolf shifter with different characters for support. With this series, I wanted to give a fresh look on different shifters and present a different dynamic than ones normally seen in books and movies.
