“No, the detective and Bull say I’m still in danger. This guy may have associates or Ahmed could make bail.

Brian came up behind them. “I heard all of that. How can you be his sub? He’ll break your heart.” Brian put down his tray of muffins then took off his light jacket and hung it up on the coat rack.

“You poor thing, here have a muffin, I made them this morning,” Brian said.

Jim laughed.
