Josiah snorted. “That’s debatable.”

Lysander didn’t want to argue with him right now and said, “Sexual assault is a violent crime. When the police arrive, I’ll explain everything clearly.”

Josiah’s smile vanished completely. “You still won’t listen to me.”

Lysander remained silent, confirming his words.

“Is this really the time to bring that up? The guy outside could still be saved, but if we delay any longer, he might not be.”
