Elijah frowned at Ben. He was insulting Zechariah, himself, he was just not stopping. The constable looked at the man who had struggled in his and Tobias' grip and lowered his brow. "Animals attack others and their own, Ben. You're the only one here who can't control yourself." A pained look came over his face. "I never took you in because you were like a dad to me, and I didn't want to hurt your family by taking you from them. But that didn't help did it? You never learned and you never got better."

He finally snapped at the man in his arms. "My greatest regret is not doing this sooner. If I had, Simon might still be alive. I gave him the money to go to York to get away from you. So he could be happy and you couldn't hurt him anymore."
