76 The police short comings

 Jayden was still in Venessa's hospital room but was seated on a sofa in an imposing majestic posture while he spoke to Inspector Mark over the phone. Pouring his frustration on the police officer.

 Inspector Mark was tongue-tied at Jayden's taunt even though Jayden's words were annoying there was some truth in them that he didn't want to admit neither could he rebuke it.

 "You got something on your tongue, Mark. Don't you?" Jayden taunted. 

 Mark ground his teeth with his hand clenched. Jayden was pushing his buttons.

 "Mr Ashford we are doing our best to keep the peace in the city."
