Kevin said quietly as he watched.
    Angus shrugged, then said, “The guy’s a dick. He’s got a real attitude problem. Every time I deal with him, he acts like an ass. When we first met, I thought it might be because I’m gay, but now I just think he’s like that with everybody.”
    “So we really do have a serial arsonist?” Bull asked.
    “I’m afraid so. Last night I thought it could be an isolated incident, but now I don’t think so. He always leaves a note of some kind. This one was about the evils of sodomy and the gay agenda. Whatever that is. Unfortunately, the police haven’t been especially helpful up until now. But the good thing is that the arsonist hasn’t struck the same place twice.”
    “So what do we do?” Bull asked.
    “Take precautions. The last time he struck, it was a women’s clinic. They didn’t perform abortions, but he thought they did.”
    “Do you know it’s a guy?” Kevin asked.
    “We believe so, yes,” Angus said. “I’ll follow up with the police regarding the note. They are in charge of the investigation.”
    Bull stepped closer. “Do you think they’ll do anything? That guy was a piece of work.”
    “Yes, they will. He’s an ass, but he’s also a good investigator, and he wants to catch this guy pretty badly,” Angus said.
    “You could have fooled me.” Bull put his arms across his chest in one of his signature poses.
    “I know. He’d get better results if he wasn’t a jerk, but we’re stuck with him.” Angus reached into his pocket. “Call me if I can be of any help.” He handed Bull a card.
    Kevin waited until they were done talking and then followed Angus to the door. “Do you think he really thought I did this?” Kevin’s mouth went dry. “I tried to put it out.”
    “I know you didn’t have anything to do with the fire.” Angus stopped in the doorway. “Believe it or not, some arsonists set fires so they can help put them out. Others set them just so they can watch them burn. A lot of the time an arsonist is in the milling crowd outside their fires.”
    “Oh,” Kevin said. That tracked with what Spook had told Jeremy the night before.
    “I have to go, but I will call you.” Angus hurried away, and Kevin watched him for a few seconds before racing after him. “Is something wrong?” Angus asked when Kevin caught up with him.
    “Yeah. You don’t have my number,” Kevin said. “You didn’t ask for it earlier.”
    Angus grinned. “I got it off the fire report, cutie.” He grinned. “I looked you up and put you in my phone.” Kevin’s phone rang, and he pulled it out. “Now you have mine. I’m on shift a lot this week, but I’ll call you as soon as I can. I promise.” He smiled, and Kevin nodded, figuring if he tried to talk, he’d only stammer. He watched as Angus drove away and then went back inside to get back to work, a grin plastered to his face.
    He saw Tristan elbow Zach lightly, and they all circled around.
    “Did you get his number?” Zach asked.
    “Yeah.” Kevin waved his phone. “He said he’s on shift this week, but that he’ll call me.” Even Jeremy’s earlier skepticism seemed to have vanished. “He keeps calling me cutie.” Why he felt the need to tell them that, he didn’t know.
    “You are a cutie,” Bull said, and Kevin blushed. He hadn’t known Bull was right there behind him. “You’ve had a tough time of it, but you’ll find someone special.”
    “Thanks, Bull,” Kevin whispered and once again put Ken out of his mind. He hated that Ken kept intruding into his thoughts. That was over, and a gorgeous fireman was now calling him cutie. “Let’s get this finished up,” he said with as much enthusiasm as he could muster and got back to work.

    “GOD, ANTONIO, there was no need to behave that way with Kevin,” Angus said as he strode into the arson investigator’s office at the police department on Monday morning. “The guy is a hero. He grabbed the hose and may well have
