“It’s fine. I don’t intend to break the rules.”
“Few do. Still, I’ve done my duty and informed you. Tell me about yourself, Jamie. I know your father is in law enforcement.”
And here I was just thinking “we don’t know much about ‘Jamie’ yet”.
Father in law enforcement, probably inspiring the desire to be a hero, what a classic. 🙂
“He’s a detective, yeah.”
“Does that have anything to do with why you’re here?”
Jamie frowned and looked away. “Yeah.”
Yep.
“Tell me.”
“A year ago… well, it all started two years ago. There were two criminals called Ramrod and Fleece. The local heroes brought them into custody, partially because of my dad’s work in tracking the pair down.
Oh! I guess she wants to protect her dad too.
Ramrod sounds familiar. Have I heard that name before?
Ah yes, he’s in the Birdcage. Amusingly, it sounded familiar last time I heard the name too. :p
So did Fleece get away?
Three strikes act applied to Fleece, and Ramrod was in for murder with intent. They put them in special cells, got them a court date, and everything was normal. My dad worked to gather the evidence, made some deals with informants to testify anonymously, and everything. The court process takes a lot longer than it does on TV.”
It really does. I remember back when Anders Behring Breivik’s court process was being aired on TV, that was so slow. And that was just the actual court part, not the work involved in preparing things for it.
