"Another case?" Michelle Fuller pouted, a little disappointed. "And here I thought we could hang out."
Renee Jennings reached out and pinched her cheek. "Be good. I'll come find you as soon as I'm done with work."
"I just feel like you work too hard," Michelle Fuller sighed. "Well, alright. I guess there's no helping it. Work is more important."
Renee Jennings's lips curled into a smile as she looked at Zachary Conway. "You and Michelle go on and have fun."
Zachary Conway quickly shook his head. "I can't. The Captain ordered me to protect you."
"You don't have to," Renee Jennings said. "I'll call him right now and tell him."
She took out her phone and dialed Henry Stark's number.
After a few rings, a man's deep voice came through. "Renee, what happened?"
"Henry," Renee Jennings chuckled softly. "Don't be so tense. Nothing's wrong. It's just that a girl went missing here in Lyris, and they've asked for my help."
