nice lady.” Suddenly Camille started to cry again. “It’s my fault she’s dead. I should have let her know I wasn’t at my apartment. If I had she would still be alive.” she said between sobs. Daniel sat down next to Camille and wrapped his arm around her shoulders she melted into him and cried even harder.
Dillon could never stand to see Camille cry and now it was tearing his insides apart to see her so upset. “Chief I know you need answers and we are willing to give you what we can. Can’t this wait until Camille is feeling better, I mean look at her.” Chief Morgan reluctantly agreed that this was not the time to question Camille. “Alright you bring her to the station tomorrow afternoon; I will hear what you have now though.” Dillon nodded and led the Chief toward his office. Butch stepped in front of the deputy. “You can stay here, they won’t be long. The deputy was smart enough to know it wasn’t a request; he didn’t like being told what to do by the likes of Butch it just didn’t sit well with him. They were all a bunch of assholes because they had been in the military. It wasn’t his fault that they would not take him, because of his height. He shoved his hands in his pockets never taking his eyes off Butch.
Once Dillon and Chief Morgan where in his office, Dillon gave him the information they had compiled so far, leaving out the fact that they knew who the killer was. Chief Morgan was a good man and a damn good cop but this was personal now. Xavier would not be arrested he was going to die; he knew that would not sit well with the Chief.
“Dillon I know how you boys think and because this person has targeted Camille I know that whoever this person is he or she will never see the inside of a jail cell if any of you catch up with them. I can’t stand by and let you kill this person no matter how much he or she may deserve to die, there are laws you know that. And I will tell you what else I know. The shooting at the hospital has to have something to do with that woman’s death. I also know that Camille was at the hospital with you, it’s never a smart move to let a potential witness leave the scene. One of the people outside the hospital at the time of the shooting said you were with a young woman who fit Camille’s description. I think this goes a lot deeper than what your tell me.” he said looking Dillon directly in the eye. The Chief was nobody’s fool.
Dillon kept his expression neutral. “I hear what you’re saying; I gave you what I have. If I find out more I’ll keep you in mind. That’s the best I can do for now.” Chief Morgan knew he would have to catch this killer first or all bets where off. “Just remember what I said and I will expect to see you at the station tomorrow.” the Chief said and he stood up and headed for the door. Dillon opened the office door for the Chief. “We’ll be there. And Chief you might want to make sure your deputy is not there when we get there.” Chief Morgan smiled. “Mason is a good kid, he is a little bit much at times but he means well. I will make sure he’s out in the field tomorrow.”
Chief Morgan took his deputy and left quickly and Dillon was grateful for that. Dillon found the living room empty; he made his way to the kitchen and found Butch raiding the refrigerator. “Where’s Camille? Danny took her upstairs he said around a mouthful of food. Dillon turned and headed for his bedroom, he needed to make sure Camille was okay. Then he could focus on everything else. As he was coming up the stairs, he saw Daniel coming out of his bedroom. Daniel turned and saw Dillon coming down the hall. “I tried to get her to sleep in my room but she insisted on your bedroom. I know this is not the time but one of you is going to tell me what’s going on. Damn it Dillon, Camille isn’t one of your groupies. She thinks she’s in love with you. Whatever this is it’s going to end badly.” Dillon would not say a word he
