TimeNovel"Hey, look, Mr. Myers, don't take it the wrong way. Someone at the station must've misunderstood her, seriously!
There's no way your wife would do something like
that!"
Judson trailed after Silas down the hallway, forcing a nervous laugh as he tried to explain. He was in over his
head.
Calliope was already a handful on her own, but throw Silas into the mix, and it was basically an unbeatable
nightmare team. He had no idea what kind of bad luck made his rookie officers pick a fight with the two people
you definitely didn't want to mess with.
Besides, why would Calliope scam the Jewell family? If she ever did want to run a con, she'd go for something
much bigger, like a corporate CEO or a Wall Street millionaire, not the Jewells. Honestly, all their assets combined
probably didn't even add up to one percent of Calliope's ownworth.
Judson was getting a headache just thinking about it. But he had no choice.
He gave Silas an apologetic smile, practically groveling. "Sorry, really, this is all a big misunderstanding. | totally
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtbelieve your wife, one hundred percent! It's gotta be the Jewells stirring up trouble. No way this has anything to
do with your wife!" He kept up the awkward smile as they entered the station.
Judson quickly called over one of the interns to fetch coffee for Silas, and then hurriedly said, "Mr. Myers, please,
have scoffee and take a seat. I'll handle the rest, you just relax here, alright?"
"My wife. Where is she?" Silas's voice was icy.
“She's, uh, inside..." Judson grabbed the nearest officer and whispered for an update.
"She's in Interrogation Room 2. Karter's questioning her," the officer replied, looking nervous.
"Karter? He's the genius who brought her in?"
Judson forced another thin smile at Silas.
"Takethere," Silas said, voice flat and dangerous. "Or do | find it myself?"
"No, no, I'll take you! Right now!" Judson swallowed hard, panic rising in his chest. He hustled to the front of the
line, leading Silas down the hall.
They hadn't even reached the door when Karter's harsh voice echoed down the corridor.
“Well, look at you, playing tough, huh? Not gonna admit it? You think | can't get a confession out of you?
Doesn't matter if you and it say did If you did, then you did. You think 1- can't cook up sevidence?" s
BAM!
Before Karter could finish, Silas kicked the door open with a thunderous crash. Calliope and Karter both jumped,
staring at the doorway in shock.
Calliope wasn't surprised to see Judson, but the sight of Silas made her raise her eyebrows. She'd only informed
Judson. She hadn't expected Silas to show up so fast.
"You're here?" she said, genuinely surprised.
"Heard the Jewells tried to drag you into something. | wasn't about to sit around Silas.replied, his voice softening
with warmth as he spoke to Calliope. But when he turned to Karter, his eyes went cold and lethal. s
"What's that now? You think you can just whip up sevidence? You say my wife did it, so she did it? Who the
hell do you think you are? You think your run belongs to s
his place?
Karter visibly shrank back under Silas's glare, stumbling over his words, eyes wide with panic.
"You what?" Silas sneered, then shot a glare at Judson. "Is this how your people operate? Framing my wife?
Making up evidence for fun?"
