Today's character from Exposure is Deputy Sheriff Emma Long.
Deputy Emma Long, age 28, is Sam’s second in command, a former Marine MP, and gay. She’s been with the Sheriff’s Department for four years. Her life partner is Leslie Dunbar, a paramedic with the Coyote Canyon Fire Department.
Emma loves to keep in shape by going to the gym regularly. She’s an expert in hand-to-hand combat, is a sharpshooter, and enjoys kickboxing. She’s an excellent deputy and the one that Sam hopes will succeed him as sheriff someday. Originally from Denver, she moved to Colorado after leaving the Marines to become a deputy with the Sheriff’s Department, prior to Sam becoming sheriff.
Excerpt from Exposure:
Sam turned to Emma and Mitch. “What do we know about our victim?”
“His name is Richard Lucero, age twenty-seven, from Placerville,” Emma said. “From what I could find online, he’s been an outdoor guide for a company there for six years.”
“Dr. Hill said she’d do the autopsy this afternoon, and that he’d probably been dead for twelve to eighteen hours. That puts the time of death before sunset yesterday,” Sam said. “Will one of you call the Placerville PD and see if they know him and could notify his next of kin?”
Mitch let out a long yawn.
“You both look like hell. After you make the call, go home and get some sleep. Be back here in the morning. I’ll have dispatch call in some reserve officers to fill in today.”
“You need to do the same thing, Sam. You look as bad as we feel,” Emma said. “We’ll all work better on this after we get some sleep.”
You can get Exposure in e-book or paperback at Amazon.
