Corporal Flanagan walked toward the closed door. Rhonda, the Chief’s secretary, looked up from her cell phone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI wouldn’t go in there, if I were you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhy not?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBecause he’s in a bad mood. You heard what happened in court yesterday, didn’t you?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Flanagan shrugged, while trying to see what interested Rhonda on her phone. There was not much else of interest in the office, just a few faded pictures of the Chief shaking hands with politicians in past administrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYesterday the judge let Rocco off again. And he told the Chief he doesn’t want to see him there anymore with \u2018so-called confessions\u2019 beaten out of Rocco.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Corporal turned to leave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDo you want me to tell him anything, Flanagan?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNah\u2026 Just that we picked up Rocco again this morning.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
