Harold looked behind him and gasped. He felt Marian grab onto his arm in fright.
"Listen here, girly-girl, the police are after me, so let's get this over with quick," Charlie Cowell was making his way toward the two, his focus on Marian.
"Why are you here, Cowell?" Harold growled as he stood up, ready to defend Marian.
"I broke away from Locke. Girly-girl over there ruined me when she persuaded River City to free you last week. Now she's going to pay!" Charlie said loudly. He lunged toward Marian and succeeded in landing a punch on her before Harold flipped him down the steps. He could hear the constable's siren in the distance as he pinned Charlie down. He sighed in relief when three deputies rushed up to the house and relieved him of Charlie.
"I'll bring Marian to the station in a little bit, Constable," Harold said.
"Very good, Professor Hill. See you," Locke said as he drove off.
Harold hurried back to Marian.
"Marian, are you alright?" Harold asked as she got off the cot and walked over to him.
"I'm fine, but I need to tell mama something and you need to be there. Let's go," Marian said. Harold shook his head, allowing her to drag him toward the car.
Sorry this so short guys. I wanted to update and this was all I could come up with right now. R&R! Thanks.
