Hawk and Wolfe

“Why did they want you dead?” the second officer asked.


Mick sighed. “It’s a long story.”


“Are you willing to press charges against her and Mr. Loman, Mr. Hawk?”


Mick and Trenton replied at the same time, “I am.”


“They’re crazy,” Celeste said, glaring at them. “I told Trenton I was divorcing him and he and his bastardbrother came up with…with this insane idea to get back at me and Andy.”


“Don’t say it,” Mick whispered to Richard, meaning ‘Watch your language’.


“Me? Never,” Richard whispered back with a brief grin before telling the officers, “We have proof that she threatened our lives, and that she and Andy were responsible for an attack on Mick last Wednesday that almost killed him.”


The first officer replied, “Before we go any further, let’s take this down to the station house. Mrs. Hawk, Mr. Loman, please stand and put your hands behind your back.”


“You’re arresting us?” Celeste asked in shock.
