Luckily, Zion was on the phone, and Violette thought that what I said wasn't harsh enough.
"She doesn't even deserve to be dumped in a stinking ditch. Her body should be thrown into a septic tank," she spat.
Violette's ferocity managed to cover up my earlier slip of the tongue.
I watched as the suspicion in Eason's eyes slowly cleared away.
Zion hung up the call and looked at Eason. "The case with the mutilated corpses has been closed."
Eason was taken aback by that. "It has?"
"Well, the superiors called to say that the aid I provided to make the arrest was
commendable since I got injured in the line of duty. I've apparently contributed to the
closure of the case with the mutilated corpses"
"They said that they want to award me with a medal of honor at the Traffic Enforcement Unit," Zion said with a small smirk. He thought that they were going to finally reinstate him. But the truth was far from it.
