*****

Ron Rowe had been partnered with Terry Hollander for some time. Through their many investigations, they had worked out ways to tackle different situations as they occurred. Detective Rowe joined the Spokane Sheriff’s Office right out of high school and the police academy. Ron was one of Captain Saunders’s first recruits. Saunders admired Ron’s attitude toward his duties. Before he captured the full scope of Ron’s abilities, Shawn had already aligned him as a kindred spirit. Both officers had a love of the Northwest, fishing, hunting, camping, skiing, motorcycles, snowmobiles, and speed boats. Two kids in the same office. One thirty years the senior.

Ron came from a loving family with both parents solidly entrenched in life around Kamiah, Idaho. With six siblings, his communications skills were inbred. Ron would someday have a large family. Unfortunately, Ms. Right, hadn’t come along yet. His dad first brought Ron’s attention to his ways. “You’re a deputy, son. Why all the drinking and carousing? Your mom and I think you need to join a church. Maybe then you’ll find a loving wife.” Ron believed his dad and took his advice. He didn’t stop at one church. Ron began attending three regularly. Young Officer Rowe figured that his chances of finding a wife were much greater that way. But she has to know how to fly fish, wet and dry. He would marry someday. Right now, the outdoors and chasing several ladies at once were too much fun. Just before winter had set in, Rowe helped a gal move into the apartment next to his. Recently divorced, she had two small kids. Over the next few weeks, all four would become close.
