Lexi looked at the cop with grave disappointment on her face.<br/><br/>“I told her repeatedly how safe a country we live in,” she wailed. “Oh, Yukina, I’m so sorry you came all this way to be in danger.” Lexi patted her friend’s hand. Through her eyelashes, she could tell the Chief was disturbed by her loud remonstrations.<br/><br/>The Chief kept saying soothingly,<br/><br/>“If you were under a threat, we could at least close off the streets leading to the warehouse. It is our expert opinion, these  are  just wing nuts and no harm, no foul.”<br/><br/>Lexi looked at Yukina and shook her head.<br/><br/>“What’s a girl gotta do? Get killed?’ she asked rhetorically. “You just admitted you were threatened, all of Seattle was threatened. I don’t understand a freakin thing you are saying.”<br/><br/>Standing up, Lexi motioned for Yukina to join her<br/><br/>“Come on, Yukina, let’s get out of here. Maybe we need to make a stop at the local radio and Tv stations.”<br/><br/>“Now you wait a doggone minute,” the police chief said with great irritation. “You can’t go off and do a thing like that.”
