Chapter 12
“What’s the best thing on the menu?” Mike asked with his head buried in the menu that he held.
“The chicken alfredo is really good. Trust me, you’ll be glad you tried it.” Logan said sitting diagonally across from Mike at the table in an Italian restaurant.
Sitting directly across from Mike was Nicole nodding her head in agreement.
Once the waitress came around to their table, everyone ordered the chicken alfredo meal. The waitress took their menus and walked away.
“You know, I was wondering when you guys were going to take a break.” Logan said looking at Selena sitting across from him.
“Yeah, you guys have been working ever since you stepped off the plane.” Nicole added.
“I live for this. Im used to it.” Selena said as she gathered the information they had gotten so far for the case and started to examine it.
“And you don’t stop.” Logan said admiring her workmanship.
“That’s why she’s a great detective.” Mike smiled at Selena sitting next to him. He then lightly nudged her in the arm. “Thanks Jonas, but you don’t have to try and kiss my ass now, just because Nicole and Lerman are here.” Selena teased Mike.
“Damn…she reads right thru me, every time!” Mike joked.
They all laughed.
At that moment the waitress comes back with their drinks. After she leaves, Mike continues, “So what do you gather about the case, Ramirez?”
“I just want to know what the connection is with the missing Lindsey Cyrus and our victim, who may be identified as Tara Lovato.”
“Do you think your ‘Jane Doe’ is Tara Lovato?” Nicole asked intrigued.
“It’s a strong possibility. But we can’t let Vanessa Hemsworth know anything until we have a positive ID that it is her sister Tara Lovato.” Mike answered.
“What about that guy, Liam Hemsworth? Do you think he is a suspect?” Logan asked.
“It’s hard to say right at this point. But deep down inside, I think he is completely innocent.” Selena responded.
“But it does make me wonder what happened to his leg. We need to pull up some records on this dude and Tara Lovato.” Mike said in deep thoughts.
Nicole and Logan noticed how both Selena and Mike were in deep thoughts. “I can tell that being a detective takes a lot of critical thinking, eh?” Logan said breaking the silence at the table in his Canadian.
Minutes later the waitress approached their table with their food. Rubbing his hands together as if to tract friction, Mike exclaimed, “Ah, yes! Food!”
Nicole allowed Mike and Selena to take a few bites of their food before asking, “So…? The food is good, eh?”
Mike responded first with a mouthful of food and holding a napkin up to his lips. “It tastes good. Im very impressed.” Selena agreed.
“You know…” Logan started as he looked at Selena with a smirk. He gestured with his fork as he made his comment. “…I can make this dish at home. Maybe you should try it someday.” He then gave her a wink.
Before Selena had a chance to respond, Mike made a noise as if he were about to burst out into laughter. It took all he had to hold it in. Selena turned to look at Mike and rolled her eyes at him realizing he wanted to laugh about the situation. She then looked across the table at Logan and forced a smile on her face and politely responded, “Right. Well, I think we all should try that one day, Lerman.”
Logan smiled back and agreed.
-----------------
Walking out of the restaurant with his stomach fully satisfied, Mike walked up to Logan and patted him on the back. “Thanks, Lerman, for dinner. We really appreciate it.” Mike smiled thanking Logan since he paid for everyone’s dinner. “Yeah, thanks, Lerman.” Selena smiled at Logan as they all walked to the cars in the parking lot.
“No problem. It’s just my way of welcoming you both to Canada.” Logan replied.
“So, what’s next on the agenda for you guys?” Nicole asked.
“I think we should call it a night. What do you think, Ramirez?” Mike responded.
“Well, I wanted to go ahead and get that background check on Liam Hemsworth and Tara Lovato.” Selena responded. “Oh, I can get that for you,” Logan jumped at the chance to volunteer. He continued, “You two go on to the hotel and rest. It’s getting late and you guys have been at it all day.”
“Really?” Selena asked a little shocked.
“Of course! And when I get it, I’ll just bring it back to your hotel room for you…with the info.” Logan smiled at Selena. Selena squint her eyes at Logan. For some reason, she felt like he was up to something or had something up his sleeve. However, Selena’s body suddenly reminded her how tired she was. They had been working non-stop since they stepped off the plane. Selena even noticed the tiredness in Nicole’s eyes. Selena finally agreed for Logan to do that favor for her.
“Awesome! Well you guys ride with Anderson, while I head back to the station to get that info for you.”
Everyone agreed and parted ways.
“The chicken alfredo is really good. Trust me, you’ll be glad you tried it.” Logan said sitting diagonally across from Mike at the table in an Italian restaurant.

“Awesome! Well you guys ride with Anderson, while I head back to the station to get that info for you.”
Everyone agreed and parted ways.
Several minutes later, Nicole dropped Selena and Mike off at the hotel where were assigned to stay. “So, did you guys need me to come in with you or what?” Nicole asked.
“No, I think we can handle it from here. Thanks sweetie.” Mike said with a smile and winked at Nicole.
Nicole blushed and giggled. “Oh, Mike, you’re so welcomed.”
Selena silently scoffed and then forced a smile across her lips. “Thanks Nicole. Our bags are already in our rooms, correct?”
“That is correct. You guys, have a great night and I will see you in the morning about 8:30.”
They all agreed and Nicole drove off.
Mike and Selena walked into the hotel lobby and approached the front desk. “Hey, how’s it going?” Mike greeted the man behind the tall desk. “Im Detective Mike Jonas and this is Detective Selena Ramirez. We were told that we already have a room reserved and ready for each of us.”
The man behind the desk looked at his computer monitor searching for the info. “Ah, yes. We have a room for a Mike Jonas and a Sal Ramirez.”
“You mean you have a room for Selena Ramirez.” Selena said correcting the man.
Looking down at his computer monitor and back up at Mike and Selena, he replied, “No…we have one room for Mike Jonas and Sal Ramirez. There were some officers who came in earlier and left your bags in the room for you. Here is your room key and the extra key as well.” The man smiled handing them the room key that looked like a credit card. “One room?” Selena asked.
“Are you sure?” Mike asked.
Before the man could respond, Selena added, “No, there must be some kind of mistake. See, there is no Sal Ramirez. There is no one named Sal. I’m Selena Ramirez.” Selena said getting frustrated.
“I can understand where there may have been a misunderstanding, but we have it down on the list for one room, Mike Jonas and Sal Ramirez.” The man protested.
Selena sighed. “Well do you have another room available?”
“No ma’am. We are totally booked.”
“C’mon, Ramirez. It can’t be that bad.” Mike said in a low tone trying to calm her.
“Fine. Whatever.” Selena replied with annoyance.
The man behind the desk proceeded to hand them the keys to the room and also showed them the best way to get to their room on a map of the hotel floor plan.
Moments later, they reached the 4th floor toward their room. When they walked in, sure enough, both of their bags were already inside. It was a nice spacious room with two queen sized beds. Mike flopped down on the closest bed as soon as he walked thru the door. Selena picked up her bags and brought it closer to the other bed that was closer to the window. “I can’t believe they messed up the reservations and gave us one room.” Selena said still annoyed.
Mike sat up. “Ramirez, its really not that bad. Geez, you act like you never shared a room with a guy before.”
“Shut-up, Jonas! Oh, but im sure you’re a pro with sleeping in a hotel room with plenty of different women.” Selena added with sarcasm.
Mike chuckled at her sarcasm. “I’ve had my share.” He smiled and took off his coat as he stood up. “But, hey, you know I can always ask if Lerman wants to switch places with me. I can stay at his place while he stays here with you. Im sure he wouldn’t mind.” Mike teased Selena.
“Whatever, Jonas.” Selena replied with a slight smile trying not to allow him to see her amusement in his comment. She began to unpack her personal belongings and continued, “I’m sure Nicole wouldn’t mind switching places with me to be with you.”
“What?” Mike questioned with a smile yet in shock.
“Oh come on, Jonas. I know you noticed how she was totally coming on to you. Always laughing at almost every stupid and pointless comment you made.” Selena then imitated Nicole by laughing in her most flirtatious laugh.
Mike laughed. “You know what? That was a really good imitation.”
Selena smiled sarcastically.
Selena took out the speakerphone the Lieutenant gave them to use to contact him back in Chicago. Waving it in the air, Selena said, “I think we should go ahead and call Lieutenant to fill him in on what we have found out so far.”
Mike agreed.
Once the Lieutenant was on the phone, both Selena and Mike took turns telling him about their day: the possible new suspect- Liam Hemsworth; and his wife, Vanessa Hemsworth’s sister-Tara Lovato could be the true identity of the dead body that was falsely identified as Lindsey Cyrus.
“Good job team. You guys found out a lot in one day. Keep doing what you're doing, and at that rate, you two will be home before you know it.” Lt. Banks congratulated them.
“I hope so.” Selena commented.
“Any word on Taylor Lowry? Anything different about him?” Mike asked.
Lt. Banks chuckled a little before responding. “You won’t believe it, but this guy, Taylor Lowry, has been seen holding hands and cuddling with Lindsey Cyrus’s best friend, Carrie Swift.”
Both Selena and Mike looked at each other in shock.
“How the hell did that happen?” Mike asked.
“I know, we’re looking into it. If they are together, it could give motive as to whatever may have happened to Lindsey Cyrus. Its almost like they wanted her out of the picture so they could be together.” Lt. Banks responded.
“And here we thought they couldn’t stand each other. What a coincident.” Selena said shaking her head in disbelief. “Indeed. I will keep you both posted on any other info we find and vice versa.”
“Yes, sir.” Both Selena and Mike said in unison. They all ended the call.
Selena takes a deep breath and takes off her boots saying, “I am so tired. It didn’t hit me until now.”
Mike loosened his tie, took it off from around his neck and unbuttoned the top button to his shirt. He stood up and said, “Yeah, me too. It never really hits you until you see the bed.”
At that moment, there was a knock at the door. Mike and Selena looked at each other with puzzled expressions, wondering who was at the door. Selena suddenly remembered, “Oh, Lerman…he’s probably here to bring the background reports we asked for.”
“Oh.” Mike remembered. Since Mike was closest to the door, he answered the door, and sure enough it was Logan on the other side of the door. “Hey, buddy. Come on in.” Mike stepped to the side to allow the door to open wider and for Logan to step into the hotel room.
Logan had a slight expression of shock on his face. “Hey…guys.” He hesitated. “…I didn’t know you guys were sharing a room.”
“Yep.” Selena said suddenly proud about it. She figured that Logan must have thought he would be alone with her when he brought those background files, but thankfully, Mike was there.
“Yeah, I know. Ramirez was telling me that she would have rather stayed with you than me.” Mike said with a huge smile on his face.
Selena’s eyes widened as she stared at Mike in disbelief of what he just said. She couldn’t believe he just said that. Logan blushed. “Oh…really.” He smiled at Selena.
Selena let out a nervous laugh. She had to quickly think about how she was going to break it down to him that Mike was totally lying. “Well…no. Don’t pay Mike any attention.” Selena then quickly changed the subject. “…So, what did you find out on Liam Hemsworth or Tara Lovato?”
As if snapping out of his happy and naughty thoughts about Selena, Logan replied, “Oh…yes. Well, Liam Hemsworth hurt his leg while at work about 3-4 weeks ago. He fell down a flight of stairs and broke his leg.”
“Ouch.” Mike commented as he listened to Logan.
“Yeah, I know. Tara Lovato definitely a bad girl reputation. Her criminal record is pretty long. She was has been arrested for DUI, disorderly conduct in public, petty theft, theft by taken, another DUI…and the list just goes on and on. Here’s her picture we had on file from her family filing a missing persons report.
“No, I think we can handle it from here. Thanks sweetie.” Mike said with a smile and winked at Nicole.
Nicole blushed and giggled. “Oh, Mike, you’re so welcomed.”
Selena silently scoffed and then forced a smile across her lips. “Thanks Nicole. Our bags are already in our rooms, correct?”
“That is correct. You guys, have a great night and I will see you in the morning about 8:30.”
They all agreed and Nicole drove off.

She was has been arrested for DUI, disorderly conduct in public, petty theft, theft by taken, another DUI…and the list just goes on and on. Here’s her picture we had on file from her family filing a missing persons report.
“Wow. Thanks Lerman. Mind if we hold on to all of this?” Mike asked.
”Sure thing. These are all of your copies.”
Selena and Mike thanked him once again.
Logan realized it was his cue to leave. “Well, okay then. You guys have a nice night, and sleep tight.”
Mike opened the door escorting Logan out of the room and closed the door shut once he left.
Mike and Selena remained silent as they looked over the info Logan had just left with them. “What are you thinking, Ramirez?”
“I think this is our girl. I think we found the dead body of Tara Lovato. I just know it.”
“She’s a pretty girl with beautiful blue eyes. If our Jane Doe is Tara Lovato…they really fucked her up royally.” Mike said looking at Tara’s photo.
“We need to search down all of the residence on file showing where she lived tomorrow. I still don’t know how Lindsey Cyrus may fit into all of this.” Selena said in deep thoughts.
After several minutes of silence, Mike spoke out loud in thoughts. “Here’s a shot in the dark. And hear me out. What if, Tara Lovato contacted Lindsey Cyrus, and they switched identities. Tara's rap sheet is too long for her not to be conniving like that. Maybe she was trying to get away from her criminal past and something went wrong …and next thing we know…she’s dead.” Mike said as he stood up and placed the files on the table next to the television. He then proceeded to take off his gun holster and shirt exposing a white tank top.
Selena found herself checking Mike out as her eyes roamed over his muscular physique. She noticed he had a tattoo of a design that looked like a sun with Chinese writing inside the circular shape. It was located on his upper arm on the side of his shoulder. Selena thought he looked extremely handsome at the moment. Snapping out of her daze, Selena replied, “I don’t know, Jonas. That’s pretty far-fetched. Are you saying Lindsey may have killed Tara? That can’t be possible. If it is, she definitely had help.”
“I told you it was a shot in the dark. But its an option that I think we could at least keep open.”
Selena took her hair down from her ponytail. She gave her scalp a gentle massage as she gently ran her fingers thru her long dark flowing hair. “Yeah, well I think we definitely need to check out her dental records. Maybe get a positive ID for Jane Doe.” Selena started to walk toward the bathroom when she stopped in her tracks. She felt like Mike’s eyes were burning into her. She looked in his direction and sure enough he had stopped whatever he was doing to just stare at her. “What?” Selena asked him.
Snapping out of his daze, Mike responded, “Oh…uhm..nothing. It’s just that…well... I never saw you with your hair down before. It’s…nice...” he paused and quickly changed the subject as he cleared his throat and continued moving about, “…but uh, yeah, I agree about the dental records and stuff. Yeah, that’s cool.”
“Yeah…” Selena hesitated as she noticed how he suddenly started to act weird. She had never seen him behave in that manner since she had met him. He was always so calm and laid back. But now he appeared slightly distracted. Selena started to comment on it, but decided to drop it. “Well, Im going to take a shower. Are you taking one tonight?”
“Nah, I’ll take one in the morning. I am going to hit this bed right now. We have another full day ahead of us tomorrow.” Mike replied.
“Right. Well, good night.” Selena said and grabbed her personal belongings and went into the bathroom.
Mike continued to take off his slacks and climbed into the bed with his tank top and boxers on. He then whispered to himself, “Wow.” He thought Selena looked amazing when she took her hair down from her ponytail. It left him speechless. He then turned off the lamp beside his bed, and turned over to his side to fall asleep.
