I locked eyes with her and wished, not for the first time in
my life, that I had telekinetic abilities. If I had, I could mentally
disembowel Jane Katts. That’s probably why God never blessed me with that
particular gift.
“Hello Detective.” Jane Katts’ tone was overly pleasant. She
must have trumped me in some way and now she’s was just waiting for me to
concede the trick.
“Close the door behind you, O’Brien.” The chief rocked back
in his chair and smiled.
There was nothing in his smile except pleasantry, which made
me more nervous than the one Jane Katts had given me. A broad smile was so
alien on the Chief’s face that I was certain that Jane Katts had managed to
pull a switcheroo and replace the chief with a pod person of her own design;
one who is not hard-edged and sand-papery as I have come to expect but instead
soft, with as much grit as a nail file.
“I’m afraid there’s not enough chairs so one of you will
have to stand.” The smiley version of our chief of police said.
I braced my feet a shoulder width apart and crossed my arms
over my chest, I preferred to stand for whatever nasty surprise Jane Katts had
in store for me.
Louise sat and introduced herself to Jane. They exchanged a
handshake.
“Ms. Katts is the reporter who asked for the exclusive
interview.”
He glossed over the detail about her being the reporter who
had engaged in a calculated smear campaign against the department.
“She would like to change the angle of her story to get more
of an inside view.” The chief’s eyes cut to my face and I saw a hint of the
real chief behind whatever hoodoo Jane Katts had performed on him.
