Married To The Man I Arrest

Synopsis

When a high-profile case involving beloved actress June Hart and her claims of unlawful imprisonment broke, Detective Dorothy Reed was called back to the station in the middle of the night. The moment she slipped through the side entrance, she was met with June's furious voice. "How many times do I have to say it?" June demanded. "Scott Bennett held me prisoner for nearly a year in dozens of locations, evidence in every hotel room. "He hurt me. I had internal injuries so bad I couldn't work for days. I have the medical report right here. I filed eight reports already. Why hasn't anyone arrested him?" A rookie officer froze, his face flushing as he glanced at the document in his hands. "Um... Sounds like we should definitely—" Before he could finish, a senior detective elbowed him sharply, shooting him a warning look. "Ms. Hart," the veteran said, lowering his voice. "With all due respect, half of Northbridge knew the story between you and Mr. Bennet. You'd been in here once a week. Last month alone, he lit up the sky with a drone show that ran seven nights straight. The month before, he dropped two hundred million on a movie to make you the star." He exhaled, running a hand down his face. "Some of us had actual cases to work." Half of Northbridge ran on Bennett blood and Bennett gold. Their money came fast and dirty, freighted with the smell of gunpowder and rust. No one saw it coming when, five years earlier, the man they called the Grim Reaper, Scott Bennett, announced without warning that he was out of the life.
