Third Eye P.I. Chapter 58: Trapped
Stephanie Smith turned out to be the perfect lawyer, and she wasn't a man, so Cassie wouldn't run the risk of yet another ridiculous attraction she couldn't control. The papers would be served to Greg early next week, and after a year of separation, everything would be finalized. Stephanie respected Cassie's need to keep things as civil as possible and promised to remain subdued unless Greg contested. He wouldn't because he was in love with Sara, or so he thought. As crazy as it seemed, Cassie hoped Greg legitimately loved Sara, because if Sara inadvertently persuaded him her way, Cassie couldn't imagine how to handle it. She shouldn't go there, but the not knowing was haunting her even though she no longer wanted a life with Greg, a life that imploded just weeks ago when she caught him shagging Sara.Breathing deeply, Cassie closed her eyes and pushed thoughts of the two of them together into the back of her mind. Thank God for meditation and deep breathing because if she couldn'
Third Eye P.I. Chapter 59: Missing Husband
When Cassie stepped into the office, Randy pulled up a chair beside his, so they would both be facing Tricia. She sighed inwardly at the thought of sitting so close to the fire, determined to conceal her desire for him while maintaining an air of professionalism. "So, Mrs. Schmidt, how can we help you?" Randy asked."Jason is missing. He didn't come home from work on Wednesday, and I haven't been able to contact him. His phone goes straight to voicemail, and his emails haven't been read.""I know, the police stopped by and requested the case file," Randy replied.Cassie raised an eyebrow. Why didn't he mention this sooner? Tricia glared at Randy, sniffing back tears for effect. "Yeah, well, thanks a lot. I went to them for help, and now they think he walked out on me, but I'm here to tell you that is not the case. Maybe, he'd leave me, but he would never leave Chase. He would never leave his son!" She choked on the last words as tears began to flow. Tricia patted her eye
Third Eye P.I. Chapter 60: The New Hire
They left Tricia in Randy's office, closing the door behind them. The look Randy gave Cassie indicated how fucked up the situation seemed. They didn't have a chance to chat about it because Karly emerged from Daniel's office, stunning Cassie to the core."You have got to be kidding me," she muttered. "I shouldn't have come in today.""Nonsense. You have perfect timing. Karly's our new hire.""What?" Cassie hissed, tossing him the death glare. It was as close as she could get to punching him. Pulling it together with new speed, she plastered a smile on her face as Karly approached."Cassie," Karly said with a giggle. "It's all good. Daniel and I worked things out, and I have you to thank. I loved being a police officer, but I love Daniel more. This way I can have the best of both worlds. Randy has been so kind and generous. I'll be working as receptionist, and once I get my bearings, I'll be taking on cases.""Umm." Cassie didn't have the words. The last time she saw Karly, Ca
Third Eye P.I. Chapter 61: Some Secrets Should Be Kept
Karly's hostility was felt and reciprocated. Her presence got under Cassie's skin, but she didn't quite get it. It was almost as if Cassie wanted Daniel for herself, even though she didn't want him that way when he wasn't touching her. She wasn't one to be territorial, yet here she was feeling like she needed to piss on a tree and mark her turf. One thing she knew for sure: things were going to be awkward as ass if she couldn't convince Karly that her interest in Daniel was purely professional. How do you convince someone of something when you can't even convince yourself? What if Eryn was right and there was something between them? Was there?They walked a full block before either spoke. It wasn't an uncomfortable silence, more like they were both trapped in their own heads and didn't know where to start."I don't think you should ever tell Karly," Cassie finally said."I can't keep lying to her.""If she finds out that you saw her rape and didn't act, you'll be history. I
Third Eye P.I. Chapter 62: Man in the Woods
Cassie arrived home to an empty house. A text from Eryn stated she'd gone into the city to see Jack, and Cassie would need to feed the horses supper and breakfast. A smile curved her lips as she thought about how happy Jack made Eryn. After what Kevin Lanoway did to her, it was nice to see her being treated well. She deserved the best. Jack Brady was about as close to the best as any guy could get. Not only did he look like a Greek god, but he had a badass job as world's hottest karate instructor. Cassie started taking his classes to keep an eye on Tricia when her husband, Jason, believed her to be having an affair with Jack, who was also teaching their son, Chase. Jack almost busted Cassie and Eryn watching his house, but Eryn saved the day. It turned out that Jack was innocent, and he and Eryn hooked up because of the case, and they were now practically inseparable. "At least something good came out of that fucked up case," Cassie mumbled.She also learned to like karate.
Third Eye P.I. Chapter 63: Savior
Somewhere in the dark, she could hear her name, she could feel her body shaking. A piercing pain in her head grew with intensity, forcing her eyes open. Confused for a moment, she scanned the dimly lit room, her bedroom. One hand gripped the comforter and the other instinctively moved to the sore spot on the side of her head. She fingered the bump and winced as a painful moan escaped her lips."Jesus, woman! You scared the shit out of me!" Randy quipped, shoving her hand away and covering the protruding welt with a bag of frozen peas.Confused, she scrunched her forehead, trying to recall what happened. Her eyes bulged as the image of a hooded man flew to the forefront of her memory. "There was a man in the woods. He was coming for me, and I don't remember." Tears escaped her eyes as she tried to recall what happened. Mooch leapt onto the bed and began profusely licking her face, ecstatic that she was ok. Plopping himself down beside her, he rested his head on her stomach."I
Third Eye P.I. Chapter 64: New Details
Eryn strolled into the barn around eleven in the morning. She found Cassie chilling in the tack room, with the music turned up, a beer in one hand, and Mooch on the receiving end of an ear scratch from the other hand. Mooch ditched Cassie to race up and greet his other mommy."Everything's done," Cassie said, reaching out to turn the music down. Eryn's hair looked like it hadn't seen a comb in days, and she had dark circles under her eyes. "You look like you could use a nap." "I'm wiped, but I feel awesome. I haven't felt this refreshed in a long time. It's amazing what a night of unbelievable sex can do." Eryn plopped into a chaise lounge and stared dreamily up at the ceiling. "I'm happy things are going well with Jack.""Me too." Eryn giggled."So, I guess I'm going to be working this weekend."Eryn swung to meet Cassie's gaze. "Why? I thought you didn't have to go in until Monday.""Gotta start on a case today." "Shitty."Cassie turned to Eryn, looking sheepish.
Third Eye P.I. Chapter 65: The Slippery Pole
Randy didn't know Cassie took on an undercover gig, and if he found out, he would most definitely lose his shit in a volcanic manner. It wasn't like she wouldn't tell him, she totally would, just not yet.Tricia believed her husband disappeared because of his knowledge about a potential sex slave, and now there was missing money that Jenna believed to be Ryan's doing. Cassie could easily investigate Jason's disappearance while simultaneously checking out Ryan Seida on Jenna's behalf. It's a win-win situation.She'd let Randy in on everything first thing Monday morning. This way she had a head start on the case.The Seidas were obviously into some twisted shit. How twisted was the million-dollar question? Chills rippled down Cassie's spine. She probably won't be prepared for what's discovered. Working every angle to get at the truth was the only way. She needed to get into Ryan and Kathy's home to nose around a bit. To do that, she needed to cozy up to them.Pretending to be
