The waiting, the inaction, the inability for anyone to do anything without someone else authorizing it. He learned a long time ago when his sister Joanne went missing in Toronto that the police really do have their hands tied. Through Sarah, he was also learning to let it go and not judge them as harshly as he had in the past. It wasn’t their fault. They had a job to do, a system to uphold and accountability to a system. It was almost impossible to remain inside the boundaries without lawyers present behind every turn. But Aaron didn’t have those constraints. He could do what he wanted, when he wanted. His only accountability was to maintain standards that kept him out of jail. But on nights like this, with his patience thinning, he was finding that more and more difficult. Since he had ridden in with Kershaw and Parkman, he had no car at the police station and he couldn’t steal one. Call a cab? No, they’d trace it and follow him. Ask for a ride back to his car? They’d follow him. Stealing a police car as Sarah had done in the past wouldn’t work.
