Chapter 6

“Are you sure you’re going to be OK by yourself?” Christine followed along Thompson as the paramedics wheeled him to the ambulance.

The media with their cameras and video recorders, along with people gathered behind the police tape, filmed with their phones. Chaotic voices shouted at them, demanding answers. They couldn’t give them any. All Thompson and Christine were focused on was themselves. A strange connection, one that had grown over the years, was starting to reveal itself. The feeling was tender yet hard, comforting yet independent, but overall, committed. They were there for each other without question or hesitation. Neither of them could fully define what they were feeling in that moment Thompson was lifted into the ambulance and their grasp with one another broke, but it was tangible, a qualified yearning that both knew they needed to feel again.

“I’ll see you at the hospital,” Christine promised.

“Not until after you find the Attorney General” Thompson told her. Halloway looked at him with a puzzled look on her face. “From that riddle, the Attorney General has to be the one they’re after next. Back in 2016 the Attorney General attempted to pressure six financial institutions, including BB&T, Berkshire Bank, Citizens Financial Group, People's United Bank, Regions Financial Corporation and TD Bank into ending its practice of providing financial services to gun manufacturers. Whoever is doing this wants revenge. And they’re going to have it if you stop doing your job.”

“Yes, sir,” Christine smiled.

The ambulance doors slammed shut and Thompson was whisked away. Their eyes through the glass, like the crowd and the traffic never separated. Not until the curve of the road broke their gaze did Christine headed to her squad car to find Baggins.

Baggins, relieved when he saw Halloway in one piece, immediately noticed the scratches and bruises on her face.

“Jesus Christ Halloway!” Baggins said. “Look at you!”

“Doesn’t matter,” Christine said quickly. “Where is Attorney General James?”

“She should be at her residence with security with everything going on…why?” A worried look washed over his face. “Letitia isn’t next, is she? Whoever is doing this isn’t trying to take out…”

“I think they are. Power cannot rule without the heart.”

“My God…they’re ripping the heart out of our great city, one official at a time.”

Baggins whipped out his cell and dialed the AG’s detail. His face pursed as he bit his lip so hard Christine thought she saw blood. She reached out to Baggins to try and comfort him, but he stepped back and glared at her. He looked like a scared wolf: fierce but afraid. The phone rang and rang until he tore it from his ear smashing the thing on the ground.

“Fuck!” Baggins shouted.

The mob of media turned their attention to Baggins and immediately swarmed him with questions. He waved them away as the two jumped in Christine’s squad car. Baggins began to punch the hell out of the dash board until he exhausted himself.

“Are you finished?” Christine asked, somewhat bored but also slightly concerned her airbag was going to deploy.
