and pulled away from the main scuffle. She searched the room for Ethan and found him as he slung a bony fist towards her face. The hit knocked her off balance and she stumbled to correct her self.
Fury and fire soared through her veins as she pursued him into the kitchen at a run. He darted around the counter and tossed a dirty plate at her. Keegan ducked and slid around the counter to plant a foot at the back of his knee. As soon as he slumped forwards she had her handcuffs out and struggled to get him restrained.
“Ethan Newton you’re under arrest for assaulting a police officer.” Keegan began to rattle off his rights as Detective Hollis moved over to aide her in getting Newton to his feet and out to the back of his police cruiser. As soon as the door was slammed shut he turned around with a grin.
“Want to tell me what’s so funny Hollis?” Keegan grunted out as she tenderly placed a hand on her nose to inspect the damage.
Matt lifted a hand a plucked a noodle from her hair and brushed something off of her shoulders. “If you were that hungry you should have told someone Morne. No need to make a mess of your self.”
“Oh can it,” Keegan rolled her eyes and began to run her hands through her hair for another noodle check and shook out her jacket.
“It’s just not your night is it?” Matt grinned, “First you get run down by a leopard and then had Newton’s dinner hurled at you.”
“You’re lucky I like you Hollis,” Keegan snapped out. “Otherwise you’d be sharing the backseat with him.”
“Awe but if you did that I wouldn’t let you in on the interrogation.” Matt snorted amused with himself as he slipped into his car. He rolled the window down. “As soon as you give your statement about this jack we’ll get started.”
Keegan gave him a mock salute as she sauntered off to her own cruiser. “Sure thing, boss.”
Ethan Newton was the picture of what Keegan imagined a cold blooded killer. At least that was the first thought that crossed her mind as she stepped into interrogation two. His piercing blue eyes stared straight into Matt as if he hadn’t anything to fear from the detective.
“You want to tell us why Elaine Philips had a restraining order against you?” Matt started the questioning off lightly.
“I don’t know,” Ethan shifted back in his chair. “She filed that with your guys not with me. So why don’t you tell me.”
Matt’s eyes hardened in anger. “I’ll tell you why she filed a restraining order against you Newton. She filed it because you’re a no good asshole who thinks it’s acceptable to beat on someone just because they don’t follow your rules to a tee.”
“Ain’t nothing wrong with a little domestic discipline.” Ethan shrugged and Keegan curled her hands into fist.
“There is when you send her to the hospital twice in as many months.” Matt retorted and waited Ethan out.
“If you knew all that then why did you bring me here? Something happen to the bitch?” Ethan folded his still handcuffed hands on top of each other.
“Yeah, you could say something happened to her.” Keegan cut in and she tossed one of the photos across the table of her mauled body at Ethan. “She was murdered.”
“Looks like one of her own kind did her in. So why are you even bothering with me?” Ethan licked his lips and glanced back down at the photo. He couldn’t seem to pull away from the image of his ex-girlfriend covered in blood and her flesh gnarled and ripped.
Keegan shifted to mirror Ethan’s posture, “Detective Hollis might not know much about you besides the fact that you beat your girlfriends but I’m not a homicide detective Ethan.”
“Yeah?” Ethan sat up a little bit straighter. “If you’re not a homicide detective then why are you even in here?”
Keegan smirked as she dropped her own portfolio on the table and slowly flipped through it. “When you get arrested and sentenced in Misery you also have to submit to blood tests to see where to put you. You do remember going through that don’t you Ethan?”
Ethan’s mask began to chip away in anger. “Those records are supposed to be sealed. That is my right to disclose that information.”
Keegan nodded in agreement, “It is but the fine print also states, any criminal record of a supernatural will remain open to one law division in Misery for
