She stopped her.

“I don’t need him, per se. I need backup. Have him send me someone who can help me work this. Bexley is here, have Raven come. Lucian needs to be here. I need an attorney to run interference. I’m about to tear this town apart from the police department out.”

And when she was gone, Tori made her plan.

She was going to figure out who Keri Hester was, and how she died. Then, she was going to make this cop’s entire life miserable.
