Juan grinned broadly, leaned back into his chair comfortably, and said leisurely, “I’m not asking Captain Fuller to do anything against the law. Just let him stay inside for a few more days.

Juan chuckled as his face showed an expression of triumphant success.

Next to his wife, Brian Fuller was a loser.

Brian considered it for a moment before nodding in agreement. “Okay.”

Ten minutes later, Brian finished sorting out the documents. He headed to the director’s office, knocked on the door, and entered the room after getting a response.

At the time, Deaton Wade, Director of the Riverdale Law Enforcement Bureau, was busy handling official matters.

Brian walked in with the documents in his hand and said, “Director Wade, a few colleagues and I arrested a suspect who molested a woman tonight. We have completed the investigation and the report is ready. We await further instructions.”

Brian passed the documents to Deaton as he spoke.
