Third Wheel
Matthew Ryan Fischer
Sonny learned very quickly that Officer Declan was less that
forthcoming. They were both working on cases involving similar tattoo styles,
but Declan felt little need to share his findings or theories. He was more than
happy to look at any case files Sonny offered.
Declan had a partner, but she was handling a different case. Or
that was the impression Sonny got. Everyone seemed concerned about the shotgun
assassin, but Kaylee only worked with them occasionally. She was often out of
the station, and when she would report to Declan, they’d leave the room and
speak in whispers. Sonny could understand clearances and security concerns, but
it was still a bit insulting.
Something about their behavior reminded him of working undercover.
Everything was a secret then. He almost never got to report in, and if he did,
he was risking his life. Kaylee acted that same way. He had seen many young and
inexperienced officers seem nervous like that. But she wouldn’t be at the
station if she were undercover. Still, they shared a secret and Sonny wasn’t
let in.
Declan suggested they walk the streets and speak to some of his
informants. Perhaps one of them had seen the tattoos or could make a connection
for them. Eager for any opportunity, Sonny agreed.
