“This isn’t school Skylar.” The chief said.

“I need to know what happened here.” He said.
“Then investigate from your side of the line.” I said.
“You think you’re clever?” He asked.
“I think you’re predictable.” I said.

“Someone was shot.” He said.
“That’s a strong assumption.” I said.
“That’s a fact.” The chief snapped.
