“Sir, there is an active restraining order prohibiting you from being within five hundred feet of Addison Blake, and you were properly notified of its enforcement.”
The gym fell into stunned silence as understanding dawned in scattered whispers. The suited man’s face flushed deeply as he argued, “It was temporary, and my attorney is appealing it.”
“It remains in effect at this time,” the woman replied calmly.
The officer then turned to the biker and asked, “Are you Matthew Hollis?”
The biker nodded once.
“You are listed here as the court appointed security liaison assigned to ensure compliance,” the officer confirmed.
The phrase court appointed security liaison traveled through the bleachers like a shockwave, and the crowd’s energy shifted from anger to uneasy reflection. When the suited man made one last attempt to surge forward, the officers restrained him decisively.
“You are in violation of a standing court order,” one officer informed him as they escorted him toward the exit despite his protests.
