Chapter 13 - Eleanor Demands The Immediate Arrest Of Her Son
Before Sheriff Miller could finish his sentence, Eleanor marched back into the dining room flanked by two angry deputies.
She had bypassed Marcus by using a private service elevator from the west wing, her face twisted in absolute fury.
“Arrest him! Arrest my son for assault and battery against an elderly matriarch!” Eleanor shrieked, pointing directly at Thomas.
“Look at my dress! Look what he did to my family home! He’s a lunatic who belongs in a prison cell!”
Sheriff Miller looked caught between a rock and a hard place, shifting his weight uncomfortably from boot to boot.
“Mrs. Vance, calm down. We are investigating the entire incident neutrally,” the sheriff attempted to placate her.
“I don't want an investigation! I want him in handcuffs within five minutes or your badge is forfeit!” Eleanor screamed.

Thomas stepped forward, looking down at his mother with utter pity rather than anger.
“You really think the county badge belongs to you, don't you, Mother?” Thomas asked quietly.
