Murder in Misery (Spook Squad) Read Online Free Page A

you’ll have to wait until the morning, Detective Hollis. We each have our informants and if you want us to use them then you have to allow us to question them in the right time frame. Which for most supernaturals, would be the night time. And you might want to apologize to Leeroy before he rips your throat out or turns your brain to mush with only his fingertips.”
    Matt ran a hand through his hair, messing the short black spik es even further. “I’m sorry man. It’s just this case, it is that bad. Whenever a kid gets involved, I just,” He shook his head. “I don’t do well with cases like this.”
    “Whatever. ” Leeroy shrugged his shoulders the red ring slowly disappearing from view and his skin fading from the darker blue to the light blue. “Just know we aren’t your lap dogs. For every case you turn to us for help and we solve it. You should realize the importance of us being here to aide you rather than be yelled at.”
    “Look,” Keegan rolled her eyes at the thought of what s he was about to offer to Hollis. “You want an inside look into the world of Supernaturals and why something like this might have happened? And why we have to wait until later tonight to start our end of the canvassing? I’ll let you ride along with me tonight when I hit up a few contacts and see what I can figure out for you guys.”
    “Uh,” Gary pushed his glasses up the bridge of hi s nose. “You really think that is the greatest idea Keegs? I mean, no offense dude, but he’s human. Like one hundred percent smelly human.”
    “I don’t smell. ” Matt instinctively brushed his nose against the shoulder of his shirt and sniffed.
    “You do. ” Melinda grinned, her canines extended and her eyes turned a bright blue to tease. “But that’s okay. You smell delicious.”
    “Oh god. ” Keegan smacked her hand to her forehead. “Matt, you want in on tonight? Then you will meet me here at eleven. The rest of you, I’ve made copies of notes of the crime scene and the impression I got from it. You know where to go from there.”
    “You got it boss .” Gary mock saluted her before disappearing behind his desk and calling up the document.
    “Suck up. ” Melinda muttered under her breath but followed suit.
    Leeroy s pun around in his chair with a grin trying to lighten the mood. “So Keegs? How’d dinner with your Mom last night go?”
    Keegan let out a loud groan , thankful for the subject change but not the subject it was changed to. “My mother threatened to withhold food unless I spoke to my brother and sisters again.”
    Gary pee red over the top of his monitor at her and scratched absently at the stubble on his chin. “So let me guess, you won’t be eating home cooked meals for a while?”
    “The relationship with your family is that bad Morne?” Matt interjected and Melinda snorted.
    “It’s not bad, per se.” Keegan shrugged, “It’s just virtually nonexistent.”
    “And you’re the person we get to help us with public relations in the SIU?” Matt rolled his eyes. “Brilliant.”
    “Shut it Hollis.” Keegan tossed out playfully. “Be here tonight at ten or I am leaving with out you.”
    “ My watch is synced up and ready to go.” Matt grinned at the smirk he got out of Keegan.
     
    Keegan was sitting outside the front of Misery PD. The entire building was fitting to the town’s name. The lamp posts were almost gothic looking with the curls and spikes while the main building was a dark gray stone. Plaques of former officers who had passed in the line of duty were etched into the walls.
    “ I figured you would just ditch me.” Matt said in greeting as he jogged up the steps towards Keegan. She eyed his outfit. It was appropriate enough for where they were going. Dark jeans, a black button down rolled up at the sleeves. She could spot some kind of ink curling out from under the collar of his shirt.
    She wasn’t dressed much differently. She had donned a pair of jeans, a black tank top. Her
