Gilt Hollow (2016)
“Ashton shifted down on the metal folding chair, then stretched out his legs and crossed his ankles while trying to hold his arms still so the handcuffs wouldn’t chafe.
He’d been waiting for over an hour for Chief Kagawa to come in and ream him. All the deputies would tell him was that Kagawa wanted to question him about a local robbery. Ashton fought against panic. Questioning meant he was a suspect, but he hadn’t taken so much as a Tic Tac that didn’t belong to him since he’d been in town.... Surely they’d determine that quickly and he’d be on his way. But as another hour ticked by, he had to wonder if Kagawa had left him there to cool his jets as some sort of strategy.
Ashton gripped the unforgiving edge of the metal cuffs as he watched the deputies begin another game of paper-triangle football. If he had to sit in an office all day with these meatbags, his head would explode. The extent of their excitement in the last two hours had been booking a street performer for disturbing the peace and panhandling.MoreLess
