Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers Greatest Hits










Brother and sister blinked at each other. Neither understood why the chief would want to speak to them. Katherine was the first to move. Crossing the room and taking a seat at the rectangular table. It wasn’t so much she wanted to sit as she wanted to take some kind of action. She needed to DO something.



Reluctantly Jake sat across from her. No doubt for the same reasons. Though as soon as Jake sat, Katherine stood and began to pace. Jake sighed.


“Well folks…” Denton began as he rounded the corner entering the room and stopped short his eyes landing on Katherine. This was not what he expected.


Katherine glanced up at the voice and stopped short as well, her already pale complexion graying.


“Well, hello Delta. Didn’t expect to see you here.” Denton’s face held the barest hint of smile. He was in fact thrilled to see the woman, but he was expecting Jake Rosanari’s sister Arabella. The question now became was Katherine Ross the same woman? “Or should I call you Katherine?”


“Hi.” Katherine’s voice betrayed her, despite the limited number of syllables. “I prefer Kate.” She was trying to sound controlled though she was anything but. Didn’t just figure? It had to be him?


For the first time since her arrival, Jake straightened. His eyes traveled between Police Chief and his sister. A small smirk coming to his lips.


“You two know each other?” Jake asked, trying hard to see both of them at once.


“No.” Answered Denton, in unison as Kate said “Yes.”


A second later they had each changed their answer, in unison.






“Son-of-b…” Jake chuckled and started to shake his head.


“This is my brother. He’s innocent.” Kate started, interrupting and on the defensive, both for herself and her sibling. “I want to know exactly what is going on here. What is your evidence? Where is his lawyer? You don’t say anything unless your lawyer is present.” She snapped at Jake, who had stopped speaking, but still smirked.


“You’re Arabella Rosanari?” Denton asked with an eyebrow raised.


“Yes.” Kate snapped.


“And your Katherine Ross.”


“Yes.” Kate sounded more annoyed. “Arabella Katherine Rosanari, changed to Ross.”


“I think we need to talk, Delta.” Denton’s voice held amusement, which only served to clearly anger the woman more. “My office.” He barked and started to head toward the door.


“Can I have a word in private with my sister?” Jake asked, the first real words he’d spoken.


Denton looked to the guards, nodded and holding Kate’s eyes for a second, left.
