The Thorne Heiress Unveiling Shadow novel Chapter 63

A police siren wailed, comically late to the scene. A single, slightly battered police cruiser skidded to a halt on the church lawn, chewing up the perfectly manicured grass.

The man who emerged was portly and red-faced, his uniform straining at the buttons. His name tag read Sheriff Smith.

He took in the scene with an expression of pure, unadulterated outrage. This was his town, his authority, and it had been flagrantly violated.

"What in the Sam Hill is going on here?" he boomed, his voice full of the self-importance of a man whose biggest daily challenge was usually a cat stuck in a tree.

He marched toward Grey, puffing out his chest. "I want all of you to drop your weapons! Right now! This is my jurisdiction!"

Grey didn't even look at him. He simply kept his weapon trained on the would-be assassin.

The sheriff, incensed, turned his attention to Kaelen and Evelyn. "And you two! You're the ones who caused this, aren't you? I want some answers, and I want them now!"

Kaelen looked at the blustering, small-town official with an expression of profound boredom. He didn't bother to speak.

Instead, he pulled out his phone and dialed a number from his private contacts. The call connected instantly.
