blood pressure must have soared sky high.
    “Fucking hell. Fuck! “He studied the pictures of his baby sister in the arms of another woman. The other woman was gorgeous but that wasn't the point. Was his fifteen-year-old sister a lesbian? Not that it mattered if she was. Had she been dragged into some tawdry web by this much older woman? So many questions. Scrolling down brought the pictures of both woman stripping until they were naked. He read the story that accompanied the crude photos before he stood.
    He paced back and forth. His fingers raked at his scalp “How the fuck did Tegan get tangled up with this club? She was such a good girl. She wanted to be a Doctor, you know. How the fuck am I gonna tell mom and dad?”
    “We're sorry, Gabe. Please sit down, we have more.” Elizabeth said.
    More? I can't take any more of this fucking shit. He continued to pace.
    “Please buddy, sit down. You need to hear this.” Bryce pleaded.
    Gabe flopped his large frame back in the chair.
    “Captain Lindon has asked us to tell you, he has placed other detectives on the case you’ve been working on.” Elizabeth began.
    Gabe flew out of the chair. “What! He can't do that. What the fuck does he think he's doing? If he thinks he’s sending me on fucking leave so I’ll stay away, he’s mistaken.”
    “Sit down,” Bryce shouted.
    Gabe did.
    “He has taken you off the case because he wants you to get information from this girl in the pictures with Tegan. He thinks she may be able to lead us to the murderer.”
    “But, he said I was forbidden from working this case.” Gabe was confused.
    “Let's just say, he was asked to change his mind. We need help. Yours. You’ve worked undercover before and if you can get close to this girl, she may break the case for us. We think being Tegan's brother, she may open up to you.” Bryce said.
    “Makes sense, I guess.”
    Bryce opened a folder. “The girl's name is Avery Watson. She lives in Redmore Street. It’s a seedy part of town.”
    “Figures that she’d live somewhere questionable if she's a stripper.” Gabe commented.
    Elizabeth and Bryce nodded in agreement.
    “The club Avery works at is the Pennywhistle Strip Club over in Talcott. It’s close to where Tegan's body was found. We are convinced this club has something to do with the murder but the owner, Vince isn’t talking and he won’t allow us access to his employees. We need you to convince Avery to spill her guts.” Bryce said.
    “What else do you know about this Avery slut?”
    “Not much. Her parents were killed in an accident a few weeks ago. Reasonably wealthy couple from Glanville Heights. She was their only child. No other relatives that we can find. Her parents were only children as well. They died without a will and all assets have been frozen while the beneficiaries are decided.”
    “Could be why she works as a stripper. Maybe she procured innocent young girls like Tegan as well.” Like sheet lightning, a bolt of fury surged through him. “But, if she's from a well off family, why doesn't she have a decent job? Why prey on innocent young girls? Sell herself to the lecherous trash that frequents these places.”
    “We don't know. We only found this link late yesterday. It's up to you to investigate further. We will continue canvassing the area, talking to people about the club, the owner and his employees. You are only to investigate Avery and see what you can get from her. We will feed you any important information and we expect the same from you.” Bryce handed Gabe the folder.
    Elizabeth handed him a laptop. “We had her watched and when she went out today one of our men placed cameras. You will be able to observe her in the living area only. The bedroom and bathroom have not had cameras placed for obvious reasons.
    Gabe nodded as he accepted the laptop, the folder and stood.
    “Good luck.” Bryce and Elizabeth said to his receding back.
    Gabe lifted his hand over his head and waved as he
