Nemesis
“Where he stayed. That was all right; he was better off alone, than if he’d been classified and maybe stuffed in with the night’s roundup of violent offenders. The dangerous mood he was in, he might’ve accommodated any hard-ass cell mate who had ideas of picking a fight, and made a bad situation worse.
His one call went to Thomas Dragovich, the only lawyer he trusted enough to handle this kind of bogus charge. Dragovich didn’t object to being woken up in the middle of the night; used to it after... twentysome years as a criminal attorney. He listened alertly to Runyon’s capsule report, asked a couple of clarifying questions, then the standard ones: Had Runyon waived his right to counsel? No, he’d refused to answer any questions without an attorney present. Had the arresting inspectors given him a bail figure? Yes, $25,000. Did they intend to contact the on-call night judge to request an increase in the amount? No, it didn’t look like it. Dragovich said he’d be there as soon as he was allowed into the jail—probably not until the regular A.M.MoreLess
