Chapter Eleven

Dancing in the Dark

“I forgot San Lorenzo is policed by the Alameda County Sheriff’s office,” Mike whispered to his cohorts. “It’s unincorporated and doesn’t have its own police department.”

Whittier knelt next to the distressed Bucci while her partner went over to check on the immobile Sanderson. “What happened here?”

“I can show you,” Denny said, holding up his iPad. He walked over and crouched next to Whittier. She watched the video without comment, gradually straightening away from Bucci. Denny saw her cringe when Mike popped Bucci’s arms. “You have to understand officer, this guy’s a giant. Mike couldn’t just let him loose with his sister Joanie still in danger.”

Whittier gestured for Mike to come over. “This is pretty brutal. What’s the beef between you and the two on the ground? I heard what he said, but what’s the history?”

“I don’t know this guy,” Mike pointed at Bucci, before gesturing at Sanderson. “It’s Brad Sanderson over there that can’t quit screwing around with us. He brought his cousin today to face off with us like you saw on the video. The cousin’s name is Bucci. He-”

“Jud… Jud Bucci?” Pascolli heard Mike and joined them after he made sure Sanderson was not in danger. He knelt down to take a closer look at the writhing man. He smiled. “Now this is what I call karma, Anne. Bucci lives over on Via Madrid. We get complaints about him terrorizing his neighbors constantly.”

“He’s that guy?” Whittier now took a closer look. “I should have recognized him but he’s a lot different looking when he’s crying on the ground.”

Pascolli clamped a hand over his mouth to stifle a laugh. “Don’t Anne. We’ll end up getting charged.”

Whittier stood up again. “You’re right, Charlie. Hey, Jud, you play with the wrong target, huh? Is Sanderson able to speak?”

“Not yet,” Pascolli answered. “Here come the EMT’s.”

Pascolli waved the medical dispatch vehicle into the parking lot. When they were finished talking with the med techs, Whittier went over to take the student statements while Pascolli stayed with Mike, Denny, and Joanie. Principal Franz arrived a few minutes later. She hurried stern faced toward Mike.

“Did you have to break the guy’s arms, Mike?”

Mike glanced at the grinning Pascolli and watched the EMT’s loading Bucci into the ambulance. “He’s huge Ms. Franz… but in answer to your question truthfully, yes. I figure it will be a while before he messes with us now. If I’d simply did a catch and release, he’d probably be hunting us down by tomorrow.”

“The Sheriff’s deputies know him, Ms. Franz,” Joanie added. “They get called out on complaints about him all the time for terrorizing his neighbors.”

“That’s good enough for me.” Franz peered at Pascolli’s nametag. “I’ll finish up with Officer Pascolli here and get the kids back into school. Thanks for the heads up, Mr. Stossle. Your movie was a real eye opener this morning. I’ve already called Sanderson’s parents. He’s suspended as of right now. There’s never a dull moment with you three in my school.
