Chapter 16
Teague and Keir found out around two on Tuesday afternoon that they weren’t going to be recalled as witnesses during the prosecutor’s rebuttal in the Irwin trial. As a result, Teague called Hoyt to let him know and find out when he wanted them to be at his house for dinner.
“Maybe if I whine a lot I can get the chief to let me off early,” Hoyt replied, chuckling. “Barring that, let’s say five-thirty. That’ll give me time to start dinner and change into something comfortable.”
Teague laughed, commenting, “That sounds like a line from a bad risqué comedy, except it should be ‘slip into’.” He envisioned Hoyt wearing nothing but a silk robe and decided that would be fine with him, although he didn’t say as much to Hoyt. Too soon to go there, even jokingly.
