Dear Ex-wife Marry Me by Twin Bridge

Fitch hung up the phone and began to sort through the papers scattered in front of him. That was when he stumbled upon a

connection in Bernard's network - a cop who had been mentioned in passing by Abner. This officer had shistory in Oakford and

was quite the sharpshooter, now holding a prominent position on the special task force.

Her nwas Rachel, a fefatale type with a string of commendations under her belt.

He turned to one of his men near him, "Was Rachel at the prison on the day Queena was executed?"

"No, sir. Rachel doesn't play favorites and she despises corruption. Even if she was at the prison, she wouldn't lift a finger to help

Bernard."

"What's her relationship with Bernard?"

"Rachel was sponsored by Bernard's family from her days in the orphanage, all the way through college. She idolizes Bernard and

revenge could do nothing.
