She chuckled at him. He took her hand and led her into the station. A few officers asked for his autograph. He was upset about it because he wanted to take care of her but she didn’t mind. They had been nothing but kind to her. She squeezed his arm and reassured him she was fine. She urged him to go ahead. The officers surrounded him while she waited with the rest of the family. She glanced at Brett. “So is this going to happen wherever we go?”
“Probably,” he replied. “We’ll have to keep him from getting a fat head about it.”
Skylar laughed out loud. “I don’t think so. He’s no cockier than he was when he left.”
Brett put his arm around Skylar then he put his other arm around her sister and hugged them both. “I am damn glad you are all right.”
“Me too.”
She glanced around him at Ramona to be sure that her sister was okay with Brett holding her and she was. She sighed with relief. Maybe things could get back on track with her and Brett now too. She had been feeling like she was walking on egg shells with him so she didn’t upset Ramona.
Skylar breathed in a huge sigh of relief. She had everyone at home that she loved. She just needed to get back to Haley Cove.
The Chief of Police walked out of his office. “Miss Bradford?” Skylar leaned forward to see around Brett and Ramona. “Could I see you a moment?”
“Sure,” she replied.
Skylar walked into his office and stood in front of his desk. “Is everything all right?”
He was trying not to laugh. She could see it on his face. He had one of those faces. Nice but weathered. His thick mustache completely hid his upper lip which gave the added help he needed hat hiding his humor.
“Tag Richardson was picked up by the Columbus police at four a.m. this morning. They had been holding him for hearing this morning. He was near the airport, planning an escape.”
“That is good news,” Skylar replied.
“His arrest was for a DUI,” he told her. “He failed a field sobriety test.”
“What?”
“Was he drinking at the cabin?”
“He was. Pretty heavily too.”
He shook his head. “He would have gotten away had he not been drunk.”
“What an idiot,” she replied. “I guess I’m glad he was drinking so heavily last night. I was sort of surprised he left the cabin when he did.”
“His only chance to escape while you were sleeping,” he told her.
“I guess. Have a nice day Chief. I’m getting my family and going home now.”
“Go Miss Bradford and enjoy the rest of your weekend.”
Skylar was shaking her head as she walked out of the Chief’s office. Everyone was looking at her. Luka made his escape at that moment. He had taken enough pictures with the men at the precinct. He just wanted to get Skylar home. “Everything all right?” He asked.
She shook her head yes. Then she started laughing. She could just imagine how pissed off Tag was at getting pulled over for a DUI when he was being looked for in the connection of her kidnapping.
“What’s so funny?” Brett asked.
“Tag can’t catch a break,” she told them.
“What?” Luka was gazing at her waiting for her to explain.
“He got pulled over for a DUI. He’s in jail in Columbus. That is how they caught him. He was drinking heavily and was pulled over near the airport for driving under the influence.”
“What an idiot,” Ramona mumbled.
“That’s what I thought.” She grabbed Luka’s hand. “Let’s go home.”
