MaasPOV
Sitting
at my desk, I searched, fruitlessly, for any sort of connection of my sister to
Edward Cullen. If anything, the ties between Cullen and Charlotte, were
negligible. It pissed me off to no end. A passing happenstance, at most. There
were more ties between Charlotte and Royce’s organization.
And
the evidence of sexual assault didn’t link Cullen to her, at all. She had been killed
with evidence that she’d been used and abused by a majority of the inner circle
of Royce’s organization.
The
further I delved into this mess, the more confused I got.
Angrier,
too.
Had
I been played?
“Maas,
you’re burning the candle at both ends,” teased my partner, Miguel. “Anything I
can help with?”
“Nah,”
I answered. I just don’t want to go home. I’m avoiding the cunt who’s taken
up residence in my life. What the hell was I thinking? Right, I wasn’t. “I’m
trying to catch up on some paperwork. Go home. Spend time with your family.”
“You
should do the same, Peter,” Miguel chuckled. “Or, perhaps, spend some time with
that hot, little piece from the benefit. She’s got a tight body.”
“Not
really,” I grumbled under my breath, glowering at my computer screen. I blew
out a breath and turned to look at my partner. He looked at me expectantly. “Renee
and I … we’re complicated and we’re dealing some issues. I’m avoiding going
home because of that.”
“You
two seemed cozy at the benefit,” Miguel argued.
“The
issues are all very recent,” I shrugged. “Look, the sooner I finish this shit,
the sooner I can possibly make amends. I’ll see you tomorrow.” Miguel nodded,
shooting me a wave before leaving the precinct.
I
pulled up my sister’s file, seeing if there were any more connections to
Cullen. The only one was her brief conversation with him on the night he was
abducted from some kinky sex club, prior to his wedding to Isabella Swan.
Maybe, he didn’t kill her.
Regardless,
he still was a monster, an animal. He had connections to several known criminal
organizations. Unfortunately, those connections were loose and difficult to pin
any wrongdoing on those associations. Additionally, Cullen was meticulous about
not getting his hands dirty.
It
was just only a matter of time.
Or,
I try my second plan and use his wife to bring him down.
