“Finally,” Greta called. “Luna is calling.”
I heard her say “hello,” and I dropped the plates into the sink. Greta had mentioned she had invited Luna over for dinner but didn’t say if she was going to come or not.
“What? Slow down, Luna,” she shouted.
I reached for the bottle of wine on the counter, but froze at Greta’s panicked tone.
“Did you call the police?”
Oh, hell.
“We’re on the way.” Greta skidded into the kitchen with her phone in her hand. “We gotta go.”
“Uh, okay.” I switched directions and grabbed my shoes from the door. “Can I ask what is going on?”
Greta shoved her feet into her sandals and had her phone to her ear again. “Luna. One of her girls didn’t come in tonight. She went over to check on her.”
Oh no. I had heard a story like this not even three days ago. “And?” I asked.
Luna’s eyes connected with mine. “She was dead.”

Chapter Fourteen
Hero
“What in the hell?”
Greta’s car careened into the parking lot of Bruno’s and screeched to a halt in front of Frost and me.
Greta shot out of the car. “Oh, my God!”
“What in the hell are you doing here?” Frost asked. “You listen to police scanners now or something?”
I peered into the windshield. Reva sat there and gave me a wave.
Fucking hell. “You wanna tell me why you thought it was a good idea to bring my woman to a crime scene?”
Greta scoffed. “We wanted to make sure Luna was okay. She called us five minutes ago.”
Of fucking course. I should have known Luna would run to Greta and tell her. I just didn’t think she would do it when she was being questioned by the police.
“Luna is fine,” Frost clarified. “The same cannot be said for Tanya.”
“Oh, my God,” Greta gasped.
I walked to the passenger door and knocked on the glass. “You gonna come out or just decided to go along for the ride?” I called to Reva.
She smiled sheepishly. “I just realized this might not have been the best idea,” she shouted back.
Now she thought of that after she drove with Greta to a crime scene. I opened the door and motioned for her to get out. “You’re already here, Sunshine. Might as well get out.” I held out my hand to her, and she grabbed it.
“This seemed like a much better idea when I didn’t see police lights everywhere.” She moved close to me and kept her hand in mine.
Across the street, the whole apartment complex had been taped off, and no one was being allowed in or out of the building.
Frost and I had kept our distance across the street but knew what was going on because Luna had called us before the police started questioning her.
