“Damn.”

“Of course, we won’t know for sure what is going on until I can get there and get a read on the situation.”

“Whatever it is, the one behind it has got to be Albright,” I mumbled. “She’s a bureaucrat with a badge and she hates both of us. She’s tried to pull stunts before, and I can just about guarantee you she’ll do whatever it takes to make this stick.”

“Well, whoever it is, they’re playing for keeps. Warrants aren’t issued on whims. They’ve got something they think is damaging, or she wouldn’t be in custody right now.”

“Okay, so what about it being Friday? What’s up with that?”

“The courts are closed over the weekend, Rowan, and it’s…” she paused for a moment. “…It’s already after two in the afternoon. Given the nature of the arrest, I seriously doubt I’m going to be able to do much in the way of getting an emergency bail hearing. Unless there was a bail amount on the arrest warrant already.”

“I don’t remember seeing one.”

“I’m not surprised. It would be pretty much unheard of in a homicide case, and with this being a high profile double murder charge…so, anyway, what it all means is that I’m afraid Felicity is going to be spending the weekend, at the very least, in jail. To be honest, Rowan, probably longer. Bail in a homicide case like this is going to be unlikely, and even on the off chance we can get it set, it will be exorbitant.”

“I don’t care. I’ve got money.”

“We could be talking millions, Rowan, and even though you’ll only need ten percent in cash, it could mount up.”

“I can cash in our IRA’s if I have to.”

“I understand, but remember it could all be a moot point. Like I said, bail might not even be an option depending on what they have.”

“Dammit!” I spat. “You aren’t telling me what I need to hear.”

“Actually, yes I am. I’m just not telling you what you want to hear.”

“Yeah. Okay. Fine. So what now?”
