Chapter 4: "What the…?"
Greg was just waking up and sitting down to dinner when his phone rang. Putting it on speaker phone, he answered, "Sanders."
"Have you ever heard of a trinogomous relationship?" Adam's voice filled the apartment's kitchen, and Greg furrowed his brow.
"Trinogomous?"
"Or a committed three-some, I guess you could call it."
"Two girls, one guy?"
"Yeah."
Greg shook his head. "Can't say that I have, no. But I'm sure somewhere in Vegas, there is probably a committed three-some. Perhaps even a committed four-some, even it out. We had a swinger's 'hood last year."
He heard Adam chuckle. "Yeah, I remember you telling me about that. The kids, who weren't supposed to know, all knew, right?"
"Yep."
A sigh from the other end of the line, and Greg almost mistook it for a yawn. "Hawkes told me the house looked totally normal," Adam said suddenly.
"What exactly was he expecting?" Greg replied.
"A Robospanker."
Greg choked on his food before laughing heartily. "Why, exactly, would he be expecting that?"
"Because he doesn't have friends who talk to him about fetish parlors."
"And Furry Conventions."
"Little people and big people."
Greg furrowed his brow for a moment. "Adam Ross, are you trying to be politically correct?" he asked.
"Something like that," Adam replied.
"What, are you still at work or something?"
"Getting ready to leave." He heard the locker close, and Greg nodded to himself.
"I see. Is Hawkes still there? Because I'd really like to know why he associates three-somes with Robospankers."
Adam laughed. "I'd like to tell you, but he's gone already. The only person still here is Mac. He's going over a few cases, trying to find a connection to this really bad guy we're trying to bring down."
Greg nodded. "Stella's not with him?" he asked.
"Nah, Mac's kinda doing this one solo. It was personal to Aiden, you know?"
Greg bit his lip. "She the one that left not that long ago?"
"Well, the rumor mill always said fired," Adam commented.
"Right," Greg breathed. "Did you ever talk to her after?"
"Nah, but we never really talked before. I mean, I got hired when they moved buildings and expanded a little. She wasn't there much longer than that."
"Yeah."
He heard Adam sigh through the phone, and he absently wondered what it was the other man was thinking about. Though, it wasn't long before Greg actually knew the answer.
"I'm not sure I wanna know what's gonna happen if she doesn't find the answer," Adam said.
"She's tenacious?" Greg asked.
"Something like that."
Greg shrugged to himself.
"I don't know," Adam continued. "Like I said, I don't really know her all that well. I just know what Danny says when he talks about her. Though, he doesn't talk about her all that much. So I don't really know all that much."
"Just supposition?" Greg said.
He heard Adam scoff. "You hangin' out with your lawyers more lately?"
Greg rolled his eyes, standing and putting his plates in the sink.
"Wait, you have me on speakerphone? In your apartment?"
"Really?" Greg replied.
"You have two hands, you know," Adam said. "Come on, dude. Weren't you the so-called champion multi-tasker? Man, that's weak."
Greg snorted. "Says the man who can't even walk and drink beer at the same time."
"I can too. Just not after four shots of Goldschlager."
Greg chuckled. "True. And, I can use a phone and eat at the same time. I just don't feel like it."
"What if I was someone else?"
Greg shook his head. "You're not."
"But if I was?"
"Depends. Who are you thinking of being?"
He could practically see Adam rolling his eyes. "Catherine." Then again, maybe there wasn't an eye roll…
"What?" Greg asked.
"Well, think about it," Adam replied. "For starters, I'd have boobs. And, I'd be your boss…"
"Okay, this conversation has gone way too far toward the creepy side."
He listened as Adam laughed. "Yeah, okay, fair enough."
Greg shook his head again at the phone.
"But, if I was gonna be someone else, I'd be Catherine," Adam said.
Greg rolled his eyes. "Okay, fine. I think if I was gonna be someone else, I'd be Flack."
Adam laughed, albeit nervously. "Whatever works, dude."
