My jaw dropped as I shifted my attention to Marty. I glanced back to Brett once the realization sunk in.
“Were you the arresting officer?”
Brett exhaled and pulled his hands through his curly hair, a sure sign he was stressed.
“I assisted in the investigation and was present when he was initially questioned and when he was arrested. For all intents and purposes, this is still local jurisdiction. The Altavista Police Chief officially made the arrest. Waxman is scheduled for arraignment in two days.”
He hesitated before he added, “One other thing, Sher. Isaac is a sophomore at Cold Creek College. He’s in Fine Arts.”
Brett held my gaze and I felt the tension rise as my eyes opened wider. Marty still didn’t say anything and his head was back in his hands. We sat there for a few more minutes in silence.
