Chapter 137: His Motive
The moment Commissioner Logan stepped out; the people surrounded him as they wanted to convey their requests. The cops around him tried to protect the commissioner as they thought his life might be in danger as the mob surrounded him.
Marcella stepped forward once again. She didn’t want the people to get harmed. A group of people gathered for a cause is a good thing but it was easy to bring chaos into the mix.
"Let’s have Debby talk to the Commissioner," Marcella took the lead.
The crowd retreated but they still were chanting behind them as they walked inside the police precinct. Just as they got in, the officers who worked under the sheriff started to complain about Marcella. They wanted to ask for the riot squad and dismiss the pricky crowd who didn’t know what was better for them. They even talked about firing their guns at the crowd to disperse them.
Marcella rolled her eyes. She saw Debby was scared; she didn’t want others to get hurt because of her. Marcella consoled her.
"It’s not going to happen, Debby," Marcella assured her. "They wouldn’t want a nationwide riot in their hands."
Although the stupid cops might suggest it without thinking, with the national papers and news organizations here, it would be hard to pull off that stunt. But it was not impossible. Marcella wanted to avoid that.
Logan talked to Debby for some time. He asked her to get treatment first before
Commissioner Logan waved at Marcella to talk to him inside the room. Marcella looked at Debby. She looked uncomfortable, not wanting to be alone with those two cops. Marcella too felt like leaving Debby wouldn’t be a good idea. Those cops would definitely try to threaten her.
"We can talk here itself," Marcella told Logan.
