"Good day, sir," the policewoman said quietly. "How are you doing? How is your wife?"

"She’s fine," I said curtly. "You’re here again?"

"Yes," the woman said with a sigh. "I know there’s a lot on your plate, but Paul keeps insisting on justice and..."

"How much is the car?" I asked quietly.

"Sir, if we could just..."

"Listen, I have a lot on my plate and I don’t want to be bothered by trivial things. Fine, will two hundred thousand cover the car and get him to shut up?"

Paul stepped forward, his voice still hoarse from yesterday. "I want this animal arrested immediately. Look what he did to me!" He gestured at his bruised neck. "He nearly killed me, and he destroyed my car!"

One of the policeman’s eyes widened. "Two hundred... that’s too much..."

Paul pushed past him and came to stand in front of me. "I don’t want your money, I want an apology, a heartfelt one. If you don’t give me that, then I’ll really sue."

I laughed.

"You want me to apologise to you? I didn’t even do that with Xander... why should I do so with you, a mere human?"

"You see, officers!" he bristled to the police, "This man is entitled. See the way he talks. Not a shred of remorse." Then he turned to me. "I’m giving you one chance, one, to get on your knees and apologise. In front of these officers. Or I swear, I’ll press charges—assault, destruction of property, attempted murder, whatever sticks."

I crossed my arms, fighting to keep my expression neutral despite the rage building in my chest. The urge to finish what I’d started yesterday was almost overwhelming, but I forced myself to remain calm.

"Officers, I was protecting my pregnant wife from a man who had trapped her in his vehicle against her will," I said evenly. "I’d like directions to your station. I’ll be happy to come in later to discuss this properly."

Paul’s face turned an interesting shade of purple. "This is ridiculous! I’m a citizen! I pay my taxes! I demand justice!" He turned to the officers with wild eyes. "If he won’t settle this right here, right now, he should be taken into custody immediately!"
