Chapter 34
"Give me the Chief, it's Garrett." He waited a few minutes before he spoke again. "Hey, Charlie, it's me. Got some trouble out here. Two boys with guns chased Edward Masen off the road. Yeah, I know. Well so, I'm hoping you can come and help take care of them. Yep, guns he said. Okay, see ya in a few." He hung up and turned back to me. "He'll be here in a few. He's bringing backup."
I relaxed for the moment.
We stood inside the store with the lights out and watched as they pulled in. My hands hurt with how tight my fists were curled. Multiple squad cars in the background roared as they rushed in and blocked them in. Four men against two robbers seemed to be good odds in the Chief's favor and the criminals gave up peacefully.
Garrett and Charlie both took turns shaking my hand while they apologized for my trouble.
Turns out they all had records and were all wanted for different shit. They were Quileute Indians and Charlie couldn't get them off of the reservation so he had wanted them for a long time. The men that should have taken Charlie's life went to jail instead and everyone else went home to their families that night.
