Chapter 69

“You’re not immediate family.”

Dylan’s shoulders slumped. He supposed he should have expected that but…“There’s no way you can arrange something?”

“His name is Lucas Bennett. He ended up with shoulder and head wounds, neither of them close to fatal. His companion was James Perry. He’s dead. FYI, they both have records for assaulting gay men. They met in prison and when they were released they came up with their robbery scheme, targeting gays.”

“Bennett will stand trial?”

“Yes. He could hire F. Lee Bailey, if he was still practicing, and end up facing life or lethal injection.” Zavier came over to Dylan’s bedside. “You and Mars did a superior job catching him, although it might not seem like it at the moment. If Quint—” Zavier’s face darkened with emotion. “You avenged his death.”
