    and headed directly to the DA’s office. Well, so much for fighting fair, she thought. District Attorney Spencer had been elected by a narrow margin and was constantly looking for the wisest political move. It made for an infuriating boss if you wanted to put away criminals. Most of their cases turned into plea bargains and trade-offs as they looked to keep things running smooth for city hall. The other side of the politician coin meant he was an approachable boss, even if he wasn’t the crusader the office needed. Rebecca wondered if he knew the Spinelli family had eyes here. Probably not, she thought, as she knocked. “Come in.” she heard through the door. “DA Spencer,” she said, greeting him with her hand extended. “Rebecca.” “I remember, Ms. Johnson. I hired you. I don’t seem that far removed from the fray, do I?” His barely glanced at her as her continued signing ledgers. “Uh,” Thrown off a bit, Rebecca scrambled to recover. “No, sir, I just didn’t want to presume you remembered me. I just made it onto the Spinelli case.” “Yes, that. Brody Anderson is your boss. Talk to him.” “Yes sir.

Even if he’s clean, there’s a dealer busted last week who would likely testify the guy bought oxy from him. True or not...” “The optics. I know. The appearance of a problem is enough sometimes.” The DA looked pensive, his eyes narrowed, looking somewhere past Rebecca. Finally, he spoke again “God damn it.” He stood up from his desk and began pacing his office. “Damn!” He slapped his desk, rattling a pen out of its holder. Rebecca started to replace it. “Don’t. Just leave it.” She followed orders this time. The DA wandered over to his office window and looked out, his hands on his hips. “I was hoping this might be the toehold I could use to get somewhere on Spinelli.
