Waiting at home
The atmosphere at their house was heavy when they arrived and settled down. All that Hayden and her husband could talk about was Jackson and what had happened. They had no idea who shot him with plastic rounds, but she had a hunch that it was the neighbor. She couldn’t say for certain yet though.
She had no proof and didn’t want to label people for crimes that they may or may not have committed. So she kept her mouth shut for now and decided to wait until the operation was over, before contacting the police to take this matter a step further. Finally, the phone rang hours later.
