CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE

After the boy left Joe and Mike looked at each other. Mike felt little but weariness.

“Do we believe him about the cloth?” Mike asked.

Joe shrugged, “When I had my implants, I’d know who did it already.” Joe’s police implant had allowed him to read a person’s memory so a criminal was easily caught. “We’ll have to wait and see.”

Sry knocked on the portal. He crossed the threshold and said, “I have information for you on Bir’s death.”

Mike rubbed his hand over his face. He was tired, but this needed to be done. “What did you come up with?”

“I traced his movements tonight, last night now, up to a half an hour before we found him.”

“Great.”

“He spent the early part of the evening with Cak.”

“Cak?”

“After he had dinner, and before the meeting, about seven, Bir went back to Cak’s room.”

Mike raised in inquisitive eyebrow.

“Cak says the kid often came to his room. Says the kid claimed to like the atmosphere. He said the kid seemed restless. Cak remembers him saying he had an appointment, that he was working too hard these days, keeping such late hours.”

“We’ve all been working too hard.”

“Right. So then Cak left to go a meeting. Bir stayed for how long we can’t tell. He definitely left before 8:15 because we have him logging into the tridimensional porn room at that time.”

The tridimensional porn room was one of the first things the men built as part of their recreation time.

Again Joe took up the questioning. He said, “If no one saw him, maybe he stayed in Cak’s room until then.”

“Possible, but we have no way to tell. He spent the bulk of the evening in the tridimensional video room watching porn tapes.”

“Participating?”

“The computer record says he only watched. You know, by the way, that porn participation program hasn’t turned out be very popular. They look pretty grainy and seedy.”

Joe asked, “Was anyone with him?”

“The computer says not.”

“If he was having a sexual tryst later, why was he watching porn tapes early in the evening?”

“I don’t know.”

“It seems like an odd activity for someone who was having sex later.”

“What’d he do after that?”

“No one claims to have seen him after he left the viewing room, which the computer log says was a minute after 10:00.”

Joe asked, “No one saw him in the halls or anything?”

Sry said, “Nope. Or if they did, they don’t remember or aren’t saying.”

“Okay. Then what?”

Sry said, “Then it seems he went to see Karsh.”

Mike swore.

“My sentiments exactly. Karsh was not forthcoming with information. He resented my questions. I think my very presence irritated him. He was quite vocal about disliking my questions and you, Mike.”

Joe asked, “You mean he likes me?”

Sry gave a brief smile. “Sorry, he didn’t mention you.”

Mike said, “Spare me the gory details on his likes and dislikes.”

“He has likes?” Joe asked.

Mike smiled. “So what he did he say about Bir?”

“He claims they talked for a few minutes, and then the kid left.”

“That’s it?”

“That’s what he said. I only found out about it by accident.
