"Uncle Bob," I said in a super annoyed,me voice, "you’re too early"

I could see Yost out of the corner of lanced at Ubie, then back atthe Miranda led his hands behind his back to be cuffed

"I suppose I could’ve waited until he actually killed you," Ubie said, helping ot plenty, purabbed for the stability of the shelf as Uncle Bob clutched me

He brushed the hair out ofblood I’d accumulated, I said, "There’s not a drop" I turned my hand over in case I missed any "There’s no blood whatsoever How a hurt" I said the last through gritted teeth while glaring at Yost

In a fit of anger--or epilepsy, it was hard to tell--he ripped his yet-to-be-cuffed hand froed at ain Half a second before he was slarabbed a handful of shirt The experienced officers took him down fast, and I ith hi all the way I prayed to God the hidden-ca would never leave the evidence rooirls their privacy, but with only half a shirt, it was difficult

I collected myself the best that I could, then looked down at Yost "This is so going on ht as they cuffed hi him out of the hospital The accumulation of dropped jaws as every head turned to watch in disbelief would have been humorous if my head didn’t hurt so bad

Uncle Bob stayed behind withto call Agent Carson with the good news, or shall I?"

"Why?"

"For one thing, he’s big"

"And two?"

"His na"

"Got it"
