I PUSH MY office door shut and Lori leans herself against the wall. “There’s something strange about him,” she says. “I mean, I don’t know if he was always like that, we didn’t really speak much before, but he seemed really…off.”

“Could be damage from the amount of time he spends online. You heard what he said about healthcare, right?”

“I know, I know. He just felt different from when I’ve seen him before. Sort of like he knew more than he was saying but didn’t think it was possible for anyone to figure that out?”

I nod. “I do know what you mean. That’s why I cut the interview short. He was the wrong sort of compliant; feeding us snippets of things, but not giving us anything too definite. It could be that he really wasn’t sure about things, but there was something about the way he smiled when we started mentioning stimulants that made me feel uneasy. Honestly, that was the main reason that I left Bert there to run surveillance.” I sweep the hair out of my eyes and try a smile. “Still, he did at least confirm that Eddie had an interview with Dean Hollister.”

“Yeah,” Lori replies, her head dropping.

I place a hand on her shoulder and she turns to look at me, the tears welling up again. “If this is too hard for you, I can go and interview Hollister myself. Or if you need a break, we can grab a drink somewhere first?”

Lori giggles quietly and snuffles her nose. “Worst timing to ask someone on a date ever.”

I roll my eyes, and Lori balls her fist up and slaps it lightly across my shoulder.

She wipes her eyes with her wrist and says, “Seriously, though, I want to keep going. But once everything’s done, I might need a drink.”

I smile and tap the door. “Let’s get moving then. After all, the quicker we solve the case, the quicker you get the date that you clearly desperately want.”

Lori laughs, a little louder and little brighter this time. Honestly, I don’t know if she is seriously interested in me or not. Hell, I don’t really know if I’m interested in her, or if I’m just beginning to feel the loneliness again. First things first, though. I have a murder to solve.
