Green Eyes in Las Vegas (21 page)

I stopped by the station on Monday, and Elwood looked up from his coffee mug long enough to glance at me.

“We’re dropping the Van Gogh case,” he said. “Apparently we’ve already been on it for too long. Unless you found something you’d like to share with me?”

I shook my head, no. “Figures about the investigation,” I said. “The department’s strapped for cash, and the guy’s painting was insured. Big whoop.”

I few seconds went by. I’d expected Jack to say no, but instead, he said, “How about Friday?”

“Perfect. We’re on.”

If I’d had any idea then just how badly that first date would turn out, I’d have thought twice about saying yes
