Proof of Innocence. Lenora Worth
Police Detective David Delvecchio and Secret Service Agent Dan Calvert. All of the interagency big guns wanted in on this one. And his boss, Captain Gavin McCord, wanted a play-by-play of everything leading up to Chase finding Erin and what happened afterward.
“Someone was chasing her when I found her so I had to make the choice of protecting Erin instead of going after the perpetrator. After that, it was late and she was tired, but I called you right away to report I had her,” he repeated for about the tenth time. “I was pretty sure we were being tailed so I took her to the inn until morning. But the tail obviously followed us since the assailant showed up where we were staying.”
“She could have easily escaped again,” Captain McCord pointed out with an intimidating frown. “I should have ordered you to bring her in right away.”
That same frown shadowed just about every face on the entire Capitol K-9 team. Metro Police Detective Delvecchio cleared his throat in what could have been a skeptical snort. The cynical detective had cooperated, but he hadn’t been happy with having to share information with the K-9 team. Captain McCord had managed to get past that, at least.
“She didn’t run,” Chase retorted. “Valor was on alert and besides, she was so exhausted she fell asleep as soon as she went to bed. I took her statement and I caught yet another man trying to kill her.”
“Or at least breaking into her room,” General Meyer said, her vivid blue eyes nailing Chase to his chair. But he’d also seen a hint of compassion in those all-knowing eyes. The general was a smart cookie and this team had her heart. Maybe she’d cut Chase some slack since he’d been working this case since the night they’d found Michael Jeffries dead and the congressman wounded.
