““Does she think I don’t know how to do my job?”
Etts, sitting on the table next to a cold cup of coffee, let out a series of beeps and chirps.

Huckness had taken one look at the marshal’s face after coming back from breaking up a fight and detoured Da...niel to a private room. He’d used the excuse of giving the marshal privacy for viewing the security tapes before scampering out under the claim of having to do paperwork.
