Chapter 78: Abby

January 3rd. After all of the waiting, the day had finally come. Thankfully, the roads to Boise had long ago been cleared after the Storm of the Century had raged through the valley, and they'd be able to make it there today. They could do a video linkup with Ada County if they had to, but that was always so awkward. People didn't really feel like they'd had their day in court if they spent that day in a conference room instead.

Abby looked at the schedule. Officer Rios should be coming in off patrols soon, which meant he could be the second officer required for the transportation of prisoners. Not that Wyatt was going to attack her and make a run for it, but it was official policy that two officers do a transport so that an officer was never left alone with a prisoner.

Of course, in her and Wyatt's case, that was a good thing, not because Wyatt was going to run for the hills or Abby was going to shoot him, but because then at least they could be sure they wouldn't kiss.
