Andrew didn't bother hiding his contempt. "What a joke. Did none of you see him trying to beat a confession out of me by force? Is that really how you people get a suspect to admit guilt, by threatening to shoot him?""Beat a confession out of you?" Curtis's voice turned to ice. "Where's your evi

"Don't you think you're overstepping yourself a bit? I'm having a conversation with the Chief here, and you, a Deputy Chief, keep butting in like you've got some say in it. Last I checked, you haven't even made full Chief yet, and you're already throwing your weight around like this." Andrew's voice carried no patience at all."You... you..." Curtis trembled with rage, the words catching in his throat."That's enough out of everyone. This is my decision to make, and I'll make it myself." Ryan's tone was ice cold. Still visibly confused, he turned and walked slowly toward Andrew.Andrew watched the humiliation bloom across Curtis's face and couldn't help himself. He burst out laughing, the sound booming through the room, and privately he felt nothing short of triumphant."So tell me," Ryan said once he'd crossed the distance between them, his voice flat and businesslike, "what exactly did you want from me?"Andrew answered with an easy grin. "Just admiring yo

Curtis's voice turned to ice. "Where's your evidence? Show me.""Since you're asking so nicely." Andrew's tone dripped with sarcasm. "You claim I tried to kill a public official. Then tell me, where exactly is this fat man's injury? Did he wet himself from fear? If so, you'd better go collect that evidence quick, before it dries and you lose your proof.""You..." Curtis's mouth opened and closed, but nothing came out. He had no answer for that.Laughter broke out from the group behind Andrew. Claire and the others couldn't hol

"You're a funny one, aren't you? Staring death in the face and still running your mouth. Can you even move right now? If I hadn't let my guard down earlier, you think you could've landed that kick on me?" The fat officer burst out laughing, clearly enjoying himself."I've already said everything I needed to say. If you think you've got what it takes, go ahead and try me. I promise you'll die in a way you won't enjoy." Andrew's face had gone completely blank by the time he finished speaking, every trace of expression wiped away.The fat officer didn't hold much rank, not really, but in a place like this, rank hardly mattered. He swaggered around like a street thug every time he interrogated a suspect, and he'd never once run into anyone as defiant as Andrew."Let's see about that. I don't believe it for a second. I'll kill you right here and see what you can do about it." As he spoke, he raised the baton in his hand and swung it straight down toward Andrew's skull.

"Don't worry, nothing's going to happen. I guarantee you, they'll never dare to mess with you again!" Andrew Allen had barely finished the sentence when four or five patrol cars screeched up and boxed him in. Doors flew open, and twenty or thirty officers poured out onto the street.Andrew looked at the woman leading the group and gave a cold snort. "Officer, what exactly is this about? Last I checked, walking down the street isn't a crime."Mara Whitlock stood in front of him, her expression carved from ice. "You beat up Jason Miller and Jamie just now, didn't you?""Don't go pinning things on innocent people. I never laid a hand on anyone. Whatever happened to them, they brought on themselves. Has nothing to do with me," Andrew said evenly."So you admit it. That's enough. You're being charged with inciting a group fight. You're under arrest."The sheer absurdity of it caught Andrew off guard. Mara and her officers showing up like this was nothing he'd ant

"I'm warning you, don't push this too far!" Tara Fleming snapped."Push what too far?" Jason Miller shot back, his voice dripping with contempt. "If you don't apologize today, we'll show you what too far really means. Andrew, where's all that arrogance you had earlier? Now you're hiding behind a woman? What kind of man does that make you?"Andrew stepped forward slowly. Tara grabbed his arm, pulling him back. She lowered her voice to an urgent whisper. "Just run. I'm a woman. They won't do anything serious to me. I can handle this. Go!""Run?" Andrew's lips curved into a faint smile. "I'm a man. How could I let a woman take a bullet for me? Don't worry. These guys can't hurt me."Tara froze for a moment. Something in his tone, in the quiet confidence radiating from him, made her feel inexplicably safe. There was a strength in his presence she hadn't noticed before, something solid and unshakable."What's the matter? Didn't learn your lesson earlier? You feel

"I'm telling you, I really did see Andrew Allen..." Jamie's face was a mask of panic, and his voice came out thin and unsteady, barely carrying over the noise of the street."Where? Where is he?" Jason Miller sounded just as frightened, his head swiveling as he scanned the crowd."Look at that tea house, the table right by the window. Isn't that him sitting there?" Jamie pointed with a trembling finger.Jason's expression hardened the moment he spotted the familiar figure through the glass. "It really is that bastard. No way we're letting him off this time. I'm calling my cousin right now. He'll come teach this guy a lesson he won't forget.""Your cousin?""You've heard of Cole Rook, right? The guy who's been making waves in Ashridge lately?" Jason's voice took on a smug edge. "My cousin works directly under him. With my connection, he'll definitely come help me out.""Cole Rook?" Jamie's eyes widened slightly. "I've heard of him. Didn't he just drive o
