Handcuffs Quote by Abigail Roux
““It’s the cavalry,” Digger said. “Thank Christ,” Kelly grumbled. He raised his hands, rubbing at one wrist and dropping his handcuffs to the floor. “What the hell, man?” Nick whispered. “What? They were too tight.” Digger dropped his cuffs to the floor with a clank that echoed through the station. “If he’s not wearing his, neither am I.””
