The small room was in a prefab trailer and had a one way mirror. The sheriff’s department of Shadow Mountain had few modern amenities. The walls on the modified trailer were so thin, Michael could easily send his fist through them if he wanted. Through the cardboard walls, Michael heard the sheriff talking heatedly with Josh. Actually, the sheriff was heated, Josh as always, kept his voice calm and relaxed. Michael was grateful for his best friend. Sometimes they didn’t always see eye to eye, but when it mattered, Josh came through for Michael. He was mortified Nicole had witnessed this morning’s events. The sheriff had almost cuffed him in front of her. Michael’s throat tightened and he closed his eyes. She was a beautiful girl. Nicole’s long blonde hair swept to the middle of her back, silky strands with red-gold highlights. Jeans, a heavy sweater, and a jacket had blurred her form slightly, but not enough to hide her sweet curves and elegant lines.
