Chapter 36

“Well, if anything does come back to you, please do contact us. At the moment, you and Miss Bhattacharya both saw the man who attacked you today. If you both ID him as James Lee, we should successfully be able to charge him with assault, but without more evidence, or a confession, it’ll be difficult to prove he’s come after you before. And if he did intend to murder you, we would prefer to be able to arrest him for attempted murder.” The first officer, who called herself Ana, looks very serious, and it’s such a relief to be taken seriously. He’s heard dozens of horror stories of police not believing victims, especially queer and immigrant victims.

“So, will you arrest him?” Cade asks, looking worried.

“First we’ll bring him in for questioning and have you both identify him. Can you come to the station tomorrow?” Ana asks.

“Yes, of course. I got a clear look at him, and I’m good with faces.” Prisha nods.
