That high tension, engineering masterpiece would set me back almost two years' salary. The mortgage on the beach bungalow, I couldn't begin to figure. Usually our investigations led us to sleazy bars or run-down hotels. Now I was being led to think twice about my lousy bank account. But there was Hutch on the beach, sunlight catching in that golden hair, offering himself up like some ballsy sacrificial lamb in order to catch a killer. He was fearless because he had me backing him up, knowing I'd give all I had to keep him safe. Just like he would do for me. How many people have someone like that in their life? Some things are beyond price.
