Not Long for This World
“Gunner and Kelly DeCharme had turned Rookie Davidson over into Toon’s and the LAPD’s custody only a few minutes after midnight Friday, not wanting to be responsible for him any longer than they had to, and like every cop Gunner had ever known, Toon had insisted on hearing Davidson’s story three times. Once all by himself, and twice with Assistant D.A. James Booker in attendance, sharing the question-asking duties. Gunner was dead tired and sick of hearing the sound of Toon’s voice by the middle... of the third go-round, but the one he really felt bad for was Davidson. Listening to the same convoluted tale of woe four times in eight hours was one thing, but telling it that many times had to be something altogether worse.
To his credit, Davidson never faltered; somehow, someway, his answers to all of Toon’s monotonous questions remained consistent and uncontradictory. DeCharme had called in a colleague at the Public Defender’s office to represent the Blue, still committed as she herself was to Toby Mills, but the lawyer played a very small part in the proceedings.MoreLess
