CHAPTER 65
CONFESSIONS AND RESIGNATIONSI helped Tip finish the paperwork, then left the station with mixed emotions. The Ingle case had been the one of the toughest cases of my life, a roller coaster of emotions that tore me up and still hadn’t stopped. Add Ron’s drug problems to the mix, and it was a wonder I wasn’t in rehab with him. Which reminded me I had to call. I dialed and got an answer right away.
“Hey, Dad. Are you back?”
Relief settled in when I heard his enthusiastic voice. Despite my optimism, there was an ever-present fear that he might slip up and fall back into drugs. “I’m back. I got in a couple of hours ago, but had to go to the station. We were closing that case.”
“The gruesome one, with the chopped up body?”
“Yeah, that one. It’s over.”
“I’ve got good news, too.”
