“Good God!” Tony exclaimed.
“By law, we’re allowed to detain you for up to 24 hours without charge. That’s exactly what I’m going to do, at least until I can get a material witness order. We’ll try to keep you comfortable and we’ll try to resolve this as quickly as we can, but in the meantime, you aren’t going anywhere. Believe me when I tell you, Mr. Lang, that this is for your own good.”
The debriefing complete, Jackson rose to exit. Tony was too dumbfounded to say anything to him on his way out. Had he just been arrested?
“I….” he said, sinking deeply into a chair. “How in the hell did this happen?”
K.J. yawned. She had at least been able to dress for work before Jackson brought her in. “Beats me,” she said.
“You seem to be taking this awfully well.”
