Finn has a girlfriend named Lola Budd, and their young love is turning the household upside down. Chloe and Finn-who are properly the children of Andrea’s cousin Tess and Tess’s husband, Greg, who died in a boating accident nine years ago-are proving to be more of a challenge. Chloe and Finn are sixteen, an age the Chief escaped easily with his own children, he now realizes. ![]() ![]() When the call comes in, Andrea and the kids are fast asleep. There are generally enough drunk-and-disorderlies to fill a sightseeing bus, as well as dozens of fistfights, a handful of which are so serious that the police have to get involved.
