Carnal Sin (35 page)
BDM87: Eight.
AKA Tanya:
Lucy smiled as she typed the online happy face.
Fran called from the doorway, "Ten, nine, eight--"
"I got him!" she called out as she typed a message to Monahan that she was logging out to study.
Then she shut down each of the chat rooms after sending her personal email the transcripts that had been copied while she was logged in. She then quickly sent Cody a message.
Monahan will be waiting for
"AKA Tanya"
at the Firehouse Grill, eight tomorrow. His choice
.
"You got Monahan?" Fran looked over Lucy's shoulder. "Good."
"Yep, I accepted his third invite to hook up, changed the day so Cody has twenty-four hours, but he picked the time and place." She spontaneously gave Fran a hug. "Finally, I feel like I've accomplished something!"
"It's been awhile since we had a victory, but don't count your chickens before--"
"They squeak. Right." But nothing was going to diminish her good mood. Now she had something to celebrate with Patrick. She glanced at her watch. She was definitely going to have to run. "I wish I could be there when Cody arrests him."
"Lucy, you know the rules." Fran forbade any of them from getting involved in the field, even on the periphery.
"I know, I know." Lucy shut down her monitor and grabbed her raincoat and scarf. "I'll be satisfied with Cody's report." Not as satisfied as seeing Brad Monahan's expression when he realized his date was a setup, but it would have to be enough.
