Thiago carefully took the weapon from her trembling grip before she could accidentally make the situation even worse.
Unfortunately—
That solved absolutely nothing.
Within seconds, officers surrounded all three of them completely.
Valentina still stood nearby, breathing hard, blood visible against her split lip, while fury and humiliation burned across her face. Daniella's arm carried fresh scratches, while strands of hair had partially loosened during the fight. And Thiago looked like a man deeply questioning every decision that had led him to this exact point in life.
One exhausted-looking officer glanced between them flatly before sighing.
"Illegal racing district. Assault. Firearm involvement." He rubbed his forehead once. "Fantastic."
Thiago immediately lifted one hand.
"I can explain."
"You can explain at the station."
Wonderful.
Absolutely wonderful.
