Crime in the Club (The Bound Detective) by Ashley Thompson

Chapter O ne
    Jane walked to the elevator of the station area, looking around and smiling a little bit.  It was so nice to be in the familiar place, and when people walked past her they bowed their heads and nodded in respect or they smiled because they knew just how much power she had around here.  Jane was the epitome of competence in her area, plus she was probably the best detective around and knew exactly what she was doing.  Jane not only had the brains to help her out and solve cases, but she also had the body to boot. She looked sexy and seductive.
    Jan e stood at about 5’7” and weighed about 130 pounds.  She had a lot of muscle, and her D cup breasts definitely helped.  She had blonde hair and green eyes that seemed to bore into one’s soul.  Many people thought she was sexy; that was until she opened her mouth and they saw just how bitchy she really was.
    Jane knew that she was a bitch.  She acknowledged that and she was willing to accept the ramifications of being one.  After all, she was one of the best detectives in the country and she had the opportunity to go on all of the dangerous and daring missions.  There wasn’t a case that she couldn’t solve, and Jane worked hard to be the woman she was today. Although Jane was a genius, she definitely had a lot to learn in the friendliness department.  She was not one of the nicer people that worked there, but she was very real with people and she did make it a hobby of to see past the bullshit that many people liked to form.
    As Jane waited for the elevator to go up she looked behind her.  The invisible glass allowed her to see all around the area from the reception, to the restaurant to even the little janitorial door that led to the area where the cooks and such seemed to hang out.  Jane couldn’t help but smile at their foolishness.  They may be doing okay, but they didn’t have the fame that she did.  She was notorious in a good way around here, not just for the sex appeal that she exuded but also because she was cunning and intelligent like no other.
    When the elevator dinged, Jane smiled and started to head out of there.  She was going to her boss’s office to find out her next mission that she was supposed to take on.  Jane knew that there was something about this one that was going to be different, but she didn’t know exactly what it was.  Jane just sighed as she walked up to the door of the office and knocked on it, flashing a fake grin as she waited for the door to open.
    Sure enough, when the door opened her least favorite person in the world stood before her.  The name of the lady was Sylvia and she was as rotten as people came.  She had platinum-blonde hair and a small chest, and the minute Sylvia realized who it was she looked at Jane with a sneer on her face as she eyed the woman up and down.
    “Well , look who it is,” the woman cooed.
    “Yes , it’s me Sylvia.  Just let me through, please.  I have to talk to Thomas,” Jane replied.
    “Aww , you’re going on another mission?  I hope this one is your last,” Sylvia said.  She hated Jane because the only reason Jane had fame and she didn’t was because Jane played dirty in the police academy and threw the woman off the course.  Of course, Jane said it was an “accident” but the only other person who knew the truth was her.  Since then Sylvia had vowed to get rid of Jane once and for all.
    “It probably won’t be, but thanks for looking out for me.  How’s being Thomas’ s bitch?” Jane retorted.
    The woman flushed and opened the door.  Jane gave her a fake grin and walked inside.  She could tell that Sylvia was seething and Jane struck a nerve.  She knew that Sylvia hated being considered inferior to her, but the only reason why she even had the position she was in was because she begged Thomas to take her and Thomas has a hard time saying no to women.  That was how Sylvia got the spot and she did it on purpose just so that she could attempt to
