Julia: I gather that's why he told me, although 'I have a plan' coming from Alain is less reassuring than he thinks.
Deonna: You talk to 'em about you ex?
Julia: ... Could you watch the shop for me while I check on Daphne? That Alex girl is not reliable, and it's just around the --

The Bathwater Conspiracy by Janet Kellough
Detective MacHenry knows someone wants this case buried -- but Mac can’t let it go. This isn’t the usual murder-for-money: it’s a brutal killing, the kind that hasn't been seen in generations. Not since the men died.
