Horace scoffed at my firm statement and said sarcastically, “Mrs. Fuller, that’s rather bold of you to threaten someone in front of the police. Did you forget about the oaths you took when you became a lawyer?”
Threaten someone? I guess he’s right.
I had no qualms about “threatening” people if it meant protecting Summer.

With that, he roared, “Raid this place!”
