The seasoned Sergeant turned Sheriff’s assistant stood, “You’re not going to like it...”
Mel threw her hands up, “Just tell me already!”
“The breaking news teaser is that an Ohio County Sheriff ‘may’ be at the center of an OSHP murder investigation.”
“What the fuck...where is that coming from? Get on it and find out what the hell Troutman’s up to.”
The desk phone buzzed. Holly looked down at it, “Hang on, your official line is ringing through. I routed all the calls through dispatch to weed out the reporters.” Holly answered the phone and listened for a minute and then hung up. She sank down in her chair and stared at her boss.
“Are you okay? What was that all about?”
