When McKenna saw the damage that Vanya had done to the guy in the hospital, she was shocked. Diego always told her about how their father kept Vanya in the dark even when they were children, that she was of no use to them and the academy because of her lack of power. None of them had any idea how powerful she actually was until now.
"Mr. Luntz?" Said Officer Cheddar. "Mr. Luntz, can you hear me?"
The man in the hospital bed groaned. His face was a scarred and bruised and his arm was in a sling. "Who, um. . .who are you?" He questioned.
"I'm Sergeant Cheddar, and this is. . ." He paused, eyeing Allison and McKenna. "This is my, uh, associates. Just have a couple of questions for you."
"Am I in trouble?"
"No trouble, nothin' like that," Cheddar shook his head. "I just. . .I want to ask you about the accident in the Bearskin Tavern parking lot last night."
The guy, Luntz, sighed. "You're a cop."
No shit, McKenna said in her mind. She stood with her arms crossed.
"You gotta protect me no matter what, right?"
"It's my sworn duty." Cheddar declared.
Luntz shook his head. "It was no accident."
McKenna and Allison looked at each other.
Cheddar shifted. "What do you mean?"
"This guy. . .hired us to start a fight. He wanted us to rough him up in front of his girlfriend."
McKenna had to hold back a gasp. It all made sense now, she thought again.
"He paid real good, up front," Luntz continued, "we got drunk. Took it a little too far. Started to hassle the girl, too. And then, all hell broke loose."
"The guy who paid you, what did he look like?" Allison asked him. "Brown hair, light scruff, slight build."
McKenna closed her eyes and rubbed her hands against her face. Way to ruin our cover.
