The Bond Between Us (Anastasia and Herman) novel Chapter 878

Police Station.

Jason was in the middle of a heated discussion with his fellow detectives, poring over details of the serial killer case, when his phone vibrated. He glanced at the screen—a picture from an undercover cop—and his expression instantly tensed.

“Jason, what’s up?” Hank leaned over to look. He let out a low whistle. “Is that Malia buying fish from Harry?”

Not just Alisa—Anastasia was in the photo too.

Right now, Harry was under the department’s watch 24/7. They were just waiting for him to slip up, so they could finally nail him.

A few more colleagues gathered around. One of them said, “Jason, maybe we should warn Malia. She probably doesn’t realize what she’s getting into.”

None of them suspected Alisa of being mixed up with Harry. They were simply afraid she’d get caught in the crossfire.

Jason thought it over. “You guys keep going with the meeting. Hank, can you give Alisa a heads-up?”

Hank shook his head. “Jason, you should do it. Malia doesn’t listen to me. And Harry’s no joke. From the picture, it looks like Malia knows him pretty well. She’s probably been there before. I’m worried about her.”

Everyone knew Alisa had a thing for Jason. If anyone could talk sense into her, it’d be him.

From a cop’s perspective, Jason knew he had a responsibility to warn her.

“Alright,” Jason said, keeping his tone businesslike. “Carry on here. Tell the team watching Harry not to let him out of their sight. If anything happens, I want to know immediately. The group checking out his recent movements, step it up. Look into his love life too—everything matters.”

“Yes, Jason,” the team responded in unison.

With that, Jason slipped back into his office and called Anastasia.

She was on her way home when her phone rang. “Hey, Jason. What’s going on?”

He cut right to the chase. “Did you just go to Bridge Market to buy fish?”

“How’d you know?” Anastasia was caught off guard. “Were you there?”

“The fish guy you bought from—Harry—he’s a suspect in our investigation. We’ve got people watching him around the clock,” Jason said. “He’s dangerous, Anastasia. Please, don’t go there again.”
