Dating Jessica . . . Chapter 17
The mournful howl coming from the cruiser is still audible behind him, although slightly muffled by the closed cruiser. “I’m sorry for what my former fiancé tried to pull,” Constable Timberson looks to the feet of the mammals before him, afraid to make eye contact. “What she tried to do is wrong. What she tried to get me to do for her,” he says, hat in hand before them, “was also wrong. Her story didn’t add up to what other witnesses said or what the tape at the diner showed. I wanted to see her reaction when I talked to you to get your side.” He raises his head and looks them both in the eyes. “She will be charged for assault, filling a false police report, public incitement of hatred, willful promotion of hatred, attempted assault of a police officer as well. I have all your information for my report and can send you a copy if you wish.” “Please,” Jessica replies. “We dealt with her in the diner, and I suspected it wasn’t over when we left.” Mark responds to the constable.
