Veronica Greene

Ryan isn't at the door. It's the external.

"Veronica Greene we need to speak to you."

"speak to me then."

"Alone."

"If you cannot speak to me in front of my parents you can leave right now."

"How about you find a lawyer? Speak to us in front of them."

Henry walked up behind the men handing them a card.

"I am her lawyer." Henry stated.

"Fair enough." One guy grunted.

"Incase you didn't notice there are keep out signs posted everywhere. Including the front gate you opened for yourself. Which by law includes any kind of law enforcement, so I have to ask you to go back out to the road. Take the car out too." Henry states crossing his arms over his chest standing in front of the threshold on the porch. "You may be law enforcement but I could technically take you to court for what your doing at this current moment. Maxwell Judd, Breaking and entering is a crime with up to 10 years in jail and your job evoked."

Judd was mad. He stomped off the porch his pose followed and walked up to the car he drove in dad's meticulously manicured grass. He slammed the door and moved to the road and waited on the other side of the now closed gate.

"Henry you went to law school?" My parents questioned.

"Yes." He nodded then blushed.

We walked out to the gate Judd stood behind. Huffing because someone called him out on his bullarky actions.

"Veronica, the external got a call about two dead men two streets away from where Katie Robertson, your well known best friend lives. We brought the bodies in did autopsy's your bullets were found in their chests. Care to explain?"

I pulled up my shirt revealing the wrap and began unwrapping the wounds.

"Self defense blind shots. Katie can tell you they were very blind shots as she was in the car a week ago when this happened." I breathed wishing I didn't have to drag her into this. "I was driving up to see mom for the evening and Katie wanted to come with me so I brought her with me, she'd been stressed so I told her to sleep and she had the passenger seat laid back far enough the only damaged she received was glass scratches where the bullet shattered her window hitting me in the side of my right shoulder. I stopped and stood pulling my own pistol up before I could turn the back of my shoulder had a bullet hole. I aimed the gun in the direction the shots came from. Fired three times. Apparently killing two and hitting the oversized mail drop box they were hidden behind once. Charles cook also was there and pointed out the fact he'd seen it and he'd noticed they were blind shots my eyes had been squeezed closed in pain."

"My Nephew of all people where present that night?" Judd cursed.

"Yes. Now we've spoken I'm going inside to rewrap my wounds." I walked off. Judd didn't stop me and simply said bye to my parents and drove on down the road.

"I'm glad you were wearing an undershirt." Henry stated

"I always do thank you very much." I punched his arm.

"Tho it's rather cold." He set his coat over me being careful not to brush my shoulder.

"I have to tell Katie." I groaned. Chances are that was Judds next stop. As soon as I walked in I grabbed my phone and called Katie.
