The interviewer kept his cool. "At least two have been convicted of murder and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon or child abuse and served time in jail."

Rekker and Vars exchanged a glance that was one part camaraderie and one part violent anger. Rekker was worried talk of being put away would set Bjorn off in a bad way but then he looked past him at the Danes. Mikkel was about to sound off again but it was the way Ansgar was curling up.

It was Torden reaching down to comfort his lover that sent Vars over the edge. He picked up the full water glass and hurled it at the interviewer.

"They've dealt with enough, fucking bastard."

Rekker was about to go over the edge too. Robert was eyes wide because this could go south in a hurry.
