Chapter 148

JULIA

"The bad guy is dead," I said, indicating the body on the floor. "The woman you have your guns on saved my life, and possibly the lives of everyone else in the house. Call Detective Riley and he'll confirm. The dead guy is Jack McManus, not a police officer, who's wanted for a number of crimes including the rape of me and my friend, his ex-wife, Lisa, who you have handcuffed with those two other women."

"Detective Riley is on his way. He can sort it out when he gets here. We're just concerned for officer safety. Is there anyone else in the house and are they armed?" The speaker was in charge. I recognized the sergeant stripes on his arm, similar to Rhonda's.

"There are six others, sergeant, unarmed as far as I know as the threat is ended. I don't even know if they have guns in the house, five females, one male. They didn't have clothes on when Jack came here. They're getting dressed."<
