Eighteen

When Rob had heard about what had happened with Andrea, he knew there was a strong possibility that trouble would follow the family. He debated what that might mean for Angelica and Harry, and whether or not he should stick around. The sun was setting and everybody but Rob had been glued to the TV screen in the main house. The Mallorys were the top and hottest news item, followed by Dante.

The DA had resigned his position, as had many others within the office. A special prosecutor was being brought in to not only go over the new information concerning the Mallorys, but also to investigate any wrongdoing within the DA’s office. They would also oversee any cases arising from an internal affairs investigation that was already forcing the local PD to rely more and more on the state police and sheriff’s departments for help policing the streets.

Riots were nightly there, but the absolute furor went from a 9 out of 10, to a 12 when the raw footage of the attack on Leah started hitting every news network. Of the two patrol officers who were discussing how the footage was going to get lost, one committed suicide the night the footage came out, rather than face the backlash. Many called his death curious, out of character, and rumors started to fly that he had been killed. There was nothing that could make a good Catholic boy commit suicide, that was an unforgivable sin.

Except framing somebody for capital murder or allowing it to happen. Which was basically murder, in Rob’s opinion. Two of the talking bobble heads on MSNBC were screeching about Dante’s firing for refusing to operate on a man who had tried to beat his friend to death, a friend who had at that moment was being operated on and in critical condition. They had gone live to the hospital that was surrounded by so much controversy, where a local reporter interviewed Dr. Collins.

He told the viewers that Dante had acknowledged that he had said he wasn’t going to operate on the man who hurt his friend, but that was heat of the moment, as Dante had continued to scrub up. The man had flatlined before Dante, or Doctor Weaver, had even finished washing his hands. Doctor Weaver had been correct when he told the board the man was going to die no matter what. The MSNBC talking heads cut the local segment and then started doing hysterical screeching about gun control and how…

That is when Rob went outside.

Fencing.

Rob was focused on fencing. Fencing a portion of the property off to hold people back from attacking the group, the new home where his family had moved to. The group had taken him in like he was family, paying him a decent living wage, and housing, health care and even food were pretty much a perk of the job. Angelica had found a sister from another mother in Anna, and Harry had found all the aunts and uncles he could ever want, all loving on him.
