Remy groaned and let his head roll back. “Will someone give me the rundown of what’s happened? Were you able to connect any of the dots I gave you?”

Even as they’d prepped him for surgery the night before he’d been on the phone with his boss, explaining everything that had happened, telling him everything he knew.

“Your sheriff is apparently a rock star,” Taggart replied. “While you were getting all prettied up for surgery, Armie LaVigne wrapped his bullet wound up and oversaw that crime scene. He had pictures for me within hours, and Adam found our two dead guys a couple of minutes after. Hutch worked some magic and connected our federal prosecutor to the wiring of fifty K each into the dead guys’ accounts. He’s in custody and singing like a soon-to-be incarcerated bird.”

Will shook his head. “Bridget is completely and utterly insufferable now. She was right about everything. She heard the news and she hasn’t stopped fist pumping. I’m worried for the baby. Her mother’s self-satisfaction could ruin her before she’s even born.”

“I think we should learn to always believe Bridget,” Mitch said with a sigh. “I’m just saying, she needs to go into crime fighting.”

“You think she’s going to be difficult to deal with? Maia Brighton is currently polishing her collar because she’s got me by the balls,” Taggart replied. “I’m going to find her the nastiest Dom I can and pray he can keep her under some kind of control.”

Lisa was starting to understand. “Vallon wasn’t merely laundering for the mob, was he?”

“Nope,” Taggart replied. “When you turned him in, you also turned in a judge and prosecutor who were taking bribes to ensure good verdicts. All of Bridget’s crazy pregnant lady conspiracy theories were true. We think Scarsdale has been working this for years along with the judge and a few members of law enforcement who helped direct things.”

“You caused some chaos because you called in to the police tip line. The police started investigating and Scarsdale couldn’t stop it once it had begun. You started a snowball that caught all the bad guys in it as it started to roll downhill,” Mitch explained. “The best Scarsdale could do was force the officer who wasn’t on his payroll to break the chain of custody so he could try to get the case thrown out on lack of evidence. He sent someone to her home to cause some chaos and then made sure she got the call when she was supposed to be driving back to the station. An officer who was on the payroll then took the pages that had Scarsdale’s accounting.”
