“The District Attorney just signed the official arrest warrants for both of them.”
I placed a gentle hand over my growing stomach, feeling a tiny kick from within.
“When do they make the arrest?” I asked, a sense of cold satisfaction washing over me.
“First thing tomorrow morning,” Julian replied, packing his briefcase.
