Reluctant Partners, Part 2: Mystery Road
Laura picked up the case file Captain Tigh had tossed onto the desk. “Shall we?”
“It’s not up for negotiation. I’m driving.” Bill jingled the squad keys.
“It’s your world, Adama. I’m here to serve you.”
He grunted. “I’m not part of the interview process and you’ve never fired your gun.”
“It’s the second part that really bothers you, doesn’t it?”
“I forgive you, Laura.”
“Thank you, Bill. I didn’t ask for your forgiveness.”
“Well, you have it anyway.”
Her eyes narrowed. “When I do shoot I won’t miss.”
Cavil whistled, low and long. “Looks like you’ve got a live one there, Adama. Sure hope you can handle her.”
“Frak off, John.” Bill met Laura’s icy stare. “We’ve gotta make one stop first. The coffee here tastes like algae.”
~*~“
Don’t get used to this, Adama. I’m not your wife.” He wore a gold band on his left hand. She handed him the cup.
“Thank the gods.”
“You don’t get along with your wife?”
“Ex-wife. Divorced a long time ago. The ring belonged to my Grandfather Adama.”
“It’s not exactly a babe magnet.”
“I wear it to keep them at bay.”
She laughed. “So, where’re we headed?”
“To the Emerald City.”

“Show me the money,” Laura breathed.
It was a magnificent brownstone.
“Did you know that the wealthiest people in Caprica City all live within a ten-block radius on the Upper East Side?”
She snorted. “Well, you weren’t exactly slumming it in Amestoy Estates.”
“You’ve been reading up on me?”
“I love a good mystery.”
“That was family money.”
“Yours?”
“Carolanne’s. Marrying a Tauron bad boy from the wrong side of the tracks with family ties to the mafia was a rebellion. Eventually we imploded. She got the boys and the house; I got Jake.”
“Jake?”
“I really loved that dog.”
