“Thank you,” Judy grinned, relieved that this man wasn’t going to snap at her, but her grin dropped as soon as she realized she looked goofy. “Mr. Donovan, your heroics have raised a few concerns within the Carthay Police Department. Can we talk for a few minutes to hopefully alleviate these concerns?” She pulled out all her SAT words- After all, Hercules was a celebrity. Wouldn’t do to sound unintelligent.
“You’re welcome.” Hercules’ smile was still firmly in place, until she told him what she wanted, and it faltered. Oh no. “Oh, yeah, of course. May I ask, what kind of concerns?” He’d cooperate as best he could, no matter what, but he was worried. Everyone had always held him and his heroics in such high regard, that to hear someone questioning them, especially a police officer, had him a little freaked out.
