“I kidnapped you once.”

“You took my case.”

“That isn't kidnapping.”

Trigger lifts a finger.

“He's technically right.”

Wolf looks at him.

“Stop helping.”

Hampton continues.

“I needed to know whether Doc still had Grant’s evidence.”

“You could've asked.”

“You keep saying that.”

“Because it's true.”

“You weren't exactly answering my Christmas cards.”

“You never sent Christmas cards.”

“Exactly.”

Mara laughs.

I look at her.

“Really?”

“Sorry.”

She isn't.

I can tell.

Sheriff Tate rubs both hands over his face.

“I am trying to conduct an investigation.”

Hampton nods toward me.

“He started it.”

“I am going to put all of you in separate rooms.”

“That might help,” Wolf says.
