The Bully Found My Photos, So Now I Kneel on Command novel · Chapter 19 of 24
Chapter 19: Side Door
The trooper took the sheriff out by the side door.
He did it with a hand on the man's elbow and not on his cuffs, and that was somehow the worst part.
Amory Hatchett walked down the center aisle of Marrow Creek Baptist between two state troopers.
He wore his khaki uniform, with his silver star on his chest.
Four hundred people watched him go.
Nobody spoke.
Nobody stood to shake his hand.
He stopped once, where the aisle met the Hatchett pew, and looked at his son.
Tate stood bare to the waist with his arms at his sides.
"Tate," the sheriff said, quietly. "Son."
His voice was warm.
It was the same voice that had said, There, that's done, and set a cup of coffee on a kitchen table.
Tate looked at him.
"Look at me, sir," he said.
His own voice was low and level, and every word reached the back wall.
