―What were they stealing?‖ Chris wanted to know.

―Eggs.‖

― Eggs? Well, for God‘s sake, eggs? You handcuffed them for eggs? ‖‘

Tom got a look of sheer impatience, which no one could affect better than a very large Cherokee.

―They weren‘t planning to make an omelette. You want me to just lock ‘em up?‖ Tom asked, more than a little put out that Chris had so little concern over them breaking the law. But then again, maybe that‘s how they‘d gotten to this place in their young lives.

―Gimme a second,‖ Chris said, retreating into the house. He returned in shoes and shirt. ―So, you‘re trying to scare ‘em, huh?‖ he asked Tom as they walked.

―No, but it wouldn‘t hurt if they got a little scared. Fact is, I was trying to hold them still until I could get you to the bakery. We don‘t question or cite juveniles without an advocate—usually a parent or guardian.‖

―So, now what? I‘ll take them home and they‘ll get—‖

―We‘re going to the police station, Chris. There‘s been a lot of vandalism around town and I have a feeling these young men are responsible for all of it.‖

―What kind of vandalism? You mean, like egging?‖

―And dumped trash cans, smashed flowerpots, some spray painting…‖

―And you‘ve decided it‘s got to be my kids? Why my kids?‖ he wanted to know.

Tom stopped walking. He was getting a little tired of this cat-and-mouse. ―Do you have any doubts your kids are vandalizing property? Because I‘ve been in this business for a while and one thing I know, they didn‘t just dream up this idea. They‘re experienced vandals who know what they‘re doing.‖

―You have some sort of proof of that?‖ Chris replied, defensive.

Tom lifted an eyebrow. ―If I make a call to San Diego PD, will I find out these boys have been in trouble before?‖

―Come on, they‘re boys! You know, boys will be boys?‖

―These boys will be felons before long, Chris. They‘re bold, they‘re arrogant and they don‘t appear to have any remorse.‖

―Hey, that‘s pretty insulting talk. I thought we were friends.‖
