He picked up the phone and dialed the number. It took him nearly an hour to finish up with the office in Vancouver, though most of his time was taken up with his trying to convince them that he was actually handling this part of the investigation. He thought as he waited for someone in the lab to come on the line, but then that was typical of her way of doing things.
He remembered one day, about eight years ago, at the scene of the crime he stood there in shocked silence while she tore into an active and seated judge. They had been covering a break-in at a convenience store. That's when this judge came in and interrupted Janet while she was talking to the other deputies. She turned, dressed him down and made him look like a fool in front of two other deputies, and all the others who were in the store at the time. He left without getting what he came after, but in the end he had his revenge. Two weeks later he had her in his court on a case that she’d handled, and when he tore into her all she could do was stand there and take it or go to jail for contempt-of-court.
