“This case has my full attention, sir. I want to see justice done as much as you do.”
“Then I suggest you keep one fact straight. Hector Young killed Tana Mayfield. Your predecessor spent a lot of time putting a case together, enough to make an arrest, remember? Young is going to be tried for this murder, he will be found guilty, and he will spend the rest of his life in jail until the time comes for his lethal injection. Do I make myself clear?”
Duke didn’t have a chance to respond. Horan hung up on him before he could.
He resisted the urge to yank out the earpiece. Horan was blind if he thought Young was the answer to this case, and he was a moron if he thought for a second that Scott wasn’t going to tear him apart in court. Duke almost hoped Scott left him in shreds. He deserved it for his smug, self-absorbed arrogance. Hell, Duke would cheer from the back of the courtroom when it happened.
