Even though Michael Linton anticipated that Fabian Holmes was calling him for a reason, he never expected it to be about this matter. He had no idea what had really transpired.
Although he didn't know exactly what had happened between the two brothers, he was sure that his nephew would never do such a thing without reason.
His nephew, despite not liking that half-brother, wasn't so immature as to provoke him intentionally.
"Why did Easton send your son to the police station? Did your son do something to Easton?" Given that it had alerted the police, he guessed that the situation might be serious, and that rascal surely crossed his nephew's bottom line.
Regarding Michael Linton's question, Fabian Holmes didn't know how to explain either, as he hadn't figured out what exactly happened between the two brothers. He only knew that neither brother would relent, nor listen to him as their father.
