subject. “Do you have someone covering the boyfriend?"
    "His every move."
    "Good. I don't trust him one bit, and then there's that small connection I found between him and one of the other missing women."
    "What connection?” Tommy asked, rather surprised.
    "Tory Williams worked as a temp for the same company Jerry works for."
    "Could be a coincidence."
    "Or it may not be. We'll check that out tomorrow. I'd like to ask him a few questions myself. He seemed rather nervous to me."
    "You have that effect on people, Lieutenant."
    Max laughed.
    Tommy smiled, then headed to another desk.
    Max exhaled, stretching his arms out behind his shoulders and back. He cringed because of his tight, sore muscles and wished he had made it to the gym this week. He felt out of shape and overweight. He wasn't, but it was going on Day Ten of no gym, no balanced meals and a few donuts too many added to his handlebars. Next time he got to the gym, he would focus on that area big time.
    He ran his hand over the slight bulge on either side of his waist and damned the ‘job’ for the umpteenth time. Then he thought about the gym in the uptown police department. That was a beauty. He practically drooled when he checked it out this morning. If he had taken up the commander's offer to work out there, they would have had to physically remove him from the room. He was shocked at the size, the equipment and the fact that the uptown brass actually encouraged their officers to work out and take a break from the job.
    Max shook his head and laughed. “Pansies,” he whispered into the air.
    He glanced around the office. There were still a bunch of detectives coming and going. The majority looked just as exhausted as he felt and was sure he looked.
    He rubbed his hand over the hard whiskers, then urged himself to get back to work. His eyes were tired, and he daydreamed about a thirty-minute nap until the phone on his desk rang simultaneously with his pager.
    Two-minute break officially over .
* * * *
    The doorbell rang and he was annoyed with his company's unpunctuality. She was ten minutes late, which aggravated him to no end.
    He kept her waiting a moment as he looked at his image in the mirror. He was a fairly attractive man, above average with dark ebony hair styled by the salon's finest. The scattered silver streaks appealed to him. They made him look distinguished, superior, and high class. At least that was what he had been told.
    The legal position he held reinforced this as well as his wealth and charitable contributions.
    People loved him, and he pretended to care.
    He had an image to uphold, a façade that presently seemed more like a burden.
    There were other ways he was more interested in spending his time at the moment, and that interest was now downstairs sleeping from exhaustion.
    He smiled when he thought about the ways to awaken his most recent brown-haired beauty. His groin pulsated, instantly aroused by the fantasies. He caught sight of the figure still standing by the front door. He needed to snap out of it, focus on his mission, but his manhood had something different in mind.
    He opened the door, keeping his angry expression while he gave the blonde the once-over.
    She smiled cordially, then swayed her hips slightly to the side, rubbing her palms against her hips while winking.
    He watched, confident she knew she would have to make up for her late arrival. He abruptly pulled her inside, slamming her thin, model figure against the wall. The blonde was tall and actually had a couple of inches on him, but he was definitely in control.
    She caught her breath. He heard her and identified the surprised, scared, yet turned-on look in her eyes. The blonde was fully aware of his reputation and his power. People respected him, feared him and were constantly at his beck and call.
    He imagined what she was thinking. She was just like the others. I could land a guy like this.
    She probably thought if she did, she would be set for life.
