The Warden

Maris recovered slowly. She was able to tell Cohen that Evangelina had stabbed her in the fray before framing me for it. She testified on my behalf, and I was ever grateful to her. She decided that job was her last as an undercover officer and gave James her resignation. Both Maris and Coh

en brought Hector to justice and incriminated many of the Red Tribe members, including Evangelina and her intimate crew in heavier charges. I hoped she enjoyed her earned time off, chasing after a certain NG unit director. James was going to have his hands full with her.

I rubbed the slight swell to my belly easing the ache in my lower back. Soon I would be earning a whole new set of tiger stripes bringing our baby into the world. I couldn’t be happier. Cohen had been promoted, now moving into a supervisory role within the NARC unit, one where no one would dare question how our relationship started or evolved. We decided to stay in Texas. Ultimately moving to Austin since the regional NARC office was located here. Austin-true to it’s moniker was a place as weird as we were and we loved it. There was so much to put behind us and be grateful for.
