know from what century. It was elegant,
unfussy and a little sad.
    Just as he sat, he stood again as
Isadora came down the short flight of stairs.
    “ Sergeant,” Isa said.
“Thank you for coming.”
    “ Thank you for following
through so quickly, Ms. La Beau.”
    “ Call me Isa,” she said
with a shake of her head.
    “ Isa,” Alex said. They
looked into each other’s eyes comfortably. No flinching, no looking
away. As a cop Alex was used to people avoiding his eyes, trying
not to incriminate themselves. She was like a refreshing balm on
his frayed nerves.
    “ Is there anything you can
tell me,” she asked referring to The Inferno.
    “ Not much,” he
said.
    Isa nodded and waited for him to
speak.
    “ Why do you think they
wanted to use your club?” He had a decent idea about that from his
time undercover, listening to Malone’s men bullshitting.
    Isa sat in a chair by the window, and
tilted her head to the right, contemplating what to tell him. A
lock of her blonde hair that had come loose from her top-bun slid
over her shoulder.
    “ I know what I know, I
don’t know what they know or what they were thinking,” Isa
said.
    “ Humor me,” he said
sitting in the chair opposite her.
    “ Fine,” she said tucking
her legs up underneath her in her chair. She wore jeans with a
light sweater over her tank top. Bare feet and still no bra. He had
noticed all of this while she had been walking down the stairs. “I
think you may have been right yesterday. It’s because of my past.
But that’s just speculation.” Isa said a little impatient
now.
    Alex looked up from her bare toes and
lifted the corner of his mouth in a half smile. He debated for a
minute and decided to give in a little. “Alright let’s say that’s
all it is, that they heard of who you are and you’re past and
wanted to…what? Wanted to set up shop in your club to thumb their
noses at you? What’s the point?”
    “ I don’t know,” Isa said.
“Maybe it was a combination of things. Maybe it was a good location
and they wanted to use me.”
    “ Maybe.”
    “ But you don’t think so,”
Isa said with certainty.
    “ No, I do think it was
partly that. But I also think there was someone inside,” Alex said
giving her a bit more.
    “ Someone else besides
Maggie,” Isa guessed.
    “ Yes.”
    Isa sat and stared at him for a while,
thinking. He could see the thoughts flying behind her expressive
green eyes.
    The house keeper came in with a tray
and set it down on the table beside them. She poured two cups and
then left. Isa was staring out the window now, so Alex helped
himself to some coffee. He must have drunk it from a bottle when he
was a kid. He needed it more than food.
    “ What makes you think that
Sergeant,” she asked slowly as if she wasn’t really paying
attention to what she way saying.
    “ Call me Alex,” he said
surprising himself. Most people called him Jax or Jackson. Only his
family called him Alex. “Things I heard working at The Inferno,”
Alex said quickly trying to hide his surprise at his
words.
    “ Do you have any
suspects…besides me,” she asked fairly amused. She was looking at
him again.
    “ Yeah one,” he waited a
beat. “Ben Axworthy.”
    “ Ben,” she asked
incredulously. “I think you’re reaching Sergeant. Ben….he’s a
different breed of character, and he wouldn’t be intimidated like
Maggie.”
    Defending him, he thought.
    “ Well think about it,”
Alex said. “Malone would have needed someone on the say side of the
Inferno operations as well. It’s not like a bad guys only work at
night. Ben would have needed no excuse to be there at any time of
the day.”
    Isa just looked at him with an eyebrow
raised. “That’s it? That’s your reason? Don’t be ridiculous,” she
said rising from her chair. She held out the folder she had brought
down with her. Alex stood as well and took the folder with her
travel information. He wanted to prolong their
conversation.
    “ If you want to
