Caught in the Act

Ashton shook his head, feeling a mix of emotions swirling inside him. He was angry, hurt, and betrayed all at once. Ashton's thoughts ran rampant as he tried to come up with a solution. He couldn't let Lance go, not when he was so close to solving the case. Kayla needed to be found and if Lance had information on the kidnapping, it was a chance he needed to take. Aside from that, they had enough information to link Botticelli to the kidnapping. But if he destroyed the criminal record, he would be caught and lose everything he had worked so hard for.

Fuck. There was no way around it. Ashton had to act.

Just as Ashton was about to make a decision, the lights flickered on and Sergeant Sandra Cox's eyes flashed with anger. Ashton's finger hovered over the delete button, once it was done it could not be undone.

"You would dare!" Sandra snapped.
