Mary Jo wrinkled her nose. Tell me they manhandled your cat when they brought you in. I need something to work with here. Cats treat their owners with disdain and God knows your gender is constantly falling for women who treat them badly.

Mary Jo had been present for all but the first thirty minutes. It had been easy Deputy Dana Birch would be horrified if she found out, he thought, enjoying the thought of her screaming at some unsuspecting sergeant for not stringing Garth up by his thumbs and beating him with a pipe.

If she had her way, he would be tortured into confessing all and then burned at the stake. Can I go after her? What was she doing, bringing you in, anyway? Maybe I can get her suspended.

They had been raised in wealth and privilege, something Dana refused to hold against them. They were her family. They cared about her and she would do anything for them.
