Chapter 13

Mac returned to her office after a morning of following up on Tremaine’s information. Tonight was Brandon’s fundraising dinner and she needed to leave early to get ready. Sitting down, she went over what she’d gathered.

Tremaine’s accusations, if proven true, would shake up her entire department. Mac didn’t care about pretenses and how things looked, she cared about presenting the truth. If that truth was ugly, then so be it.

She began putting her files away when the phone on her desk buzzed. Frowning, she picked up the receiver.

“Yes?”

“Sorry to bother you Chief Green. I know you’re on your way out, but there are some officers here to see you and they say it can’t wait.”

Mac looked concerned. “I’ll be right there.”

She went to the door and saw three officers in the lobby. Looking them over, she greeted them. “Good morning officers.”

“Good morning chief, may we have a word with you?”

“Of course.” Mac showed them into her office and motioned for them to take a seat.

“We’d rather stand,” one of them replied and Mac nodded slowly before sitting behind her desk.

She gave the trio her full attention.

“We’re here chief because we know that you are investigating and we want you to know that we are not the ones you’re looking for.”

Mac nodded slowly.

“Who am I looking for then?” she asked.

“We’re here to tell you all that we know and to assist you in any way we can.”

“How long has this been going on?” Mac questioned.

An officer stepped forward. “From my understanding not long, six months or so.”

“How many are involved?”

Another officer answered. “Six that we know of at this time.”

Mac contemplated their answers. “Am I holding any other young men in these cells because of those officers?”

“Possibly,”

“Shit!” Mac made a fist and brought it to her mouth, shaking her head.

“When this goes down chief, and we know it’s going to go down…we want you to know that we’re on your side,” the third officer told her.

Mac composed herself and looked at the three officers in front of her. It had taken courage to cross their fellow comrades, but they’d stood on the side of right and she applauded them for their actions.

She stood to her feet and walked over to them. “I appreciate your loyalty to the badge and to me.”

“And you’re right, I’m kicking ass and taking names later. This is completely unacceptable and I will make an example out of these perpetrators.”

They all nodded and Mac shook each of their hands. “I’m proud to be your chief.”

“We’re proud to be your officers and we know what you stand for.”

“Thank you. I won’t let a few bad apples spoil all the hard work that we actually do to keep this community safe,” Mac said looking at each of them.

“Now, tell me everything you know so I can go get these bastards.”

Brandon opened his front door to find his father on his porch.

“Dad, what are you doing here?”

Benjamin smiled. “I’m here to make sure my favorite son is ready for tonight.
