Chapter 8 - The Standoff At The Garage
Sheriff Cole’s green patrol cruiser skidded into the gravel driveway, its red and blue emergency lights flashing wildly against the burning flares on the ground.
Cole stepped out of the vehicle with his service pistol drawn, his face red with unbridled rage as he saw his nephew tied up at Ethan’s feet.
"Get away from him, Hayes!" Cole screamed, raising his weapon with shaking hands. "You're under arrest for assaulting law enforcement officers and illegal detention!"
Ethan stood motionless in the center of the driveway, completely calm despite having a loaded firearm pointed at his chest.
"Put the gun down, Travis," Ethan advised calmly. "You're making a mistake you can't undo."
