“Keith had interrogated him when they’d arrived but he hadn’t learned anything—unsurprisingly, seeing as there was nothing to learn.

Russ put out a hand to stop him. “I’m real sorry about this.”
Steve looked at him. Russ’s eyes were filled with remorse.
Steve sighed, knowing there was nothing else Russ could have done—short of quitting the force, anyway.
