Shit. Shit. Now was not the time to getting texts from the babysitter. They were having a briefing for a new assignment, no phone allowed. And there it was ringing in his pocket repeatedly. “ ‘scuse me.”
The captain walked out from the room into the hallway, digging out his phone quickly as anxiety started growing in his chest. No this was not supposed to happen! Little Anna was not doing what she was told and the sitter could not get her to calm down from her tantrum. Great..just great.
“Sorry ‘bout that!” Jack replied as he walked back in. Hands clasped together he looked around to everyone with a forced smiled. His shoulders were tense and his hands were trembling though he kept them together to cease it. “I’ve got a call from one of the department heads of the police station, got somethin’ for this case. So Gwen, you take over for the rest of the briefin’ and I’ll be back later.” With that the captain was speed walking out of the place, coat being thrown over his shoulder in haste of getting out of here and back home to properly take care of the matter at hand.
