“I told them everything.” Rebecca’s voice was saturated with disbelief. “How can they listen to that…that criminal?”

I gave a rueful smile, though she couldn’t hear it through the telephone receiver. “Because they want to. Because the other civilians there have no idea what really went down.”

“But I saw everything,” she said.

“It doesn’t matter.”

“It should.”

“It doesn’t.”

We both fell silent. I watched my last remaining goldfish labor around the tank. He was tilted slightly side-ways as he swam and I had the distinct feeling he was a goner.

“Aaron Norris’s wife told me they were re-opening the investigation from when you arrested that guy before. Is that true?”

“I don’t know.”

“But that was over a year ago, she said.”

“Three.”

“Can they do that?

I sighed. “Rebecca, it looks to me like they can do whatever they want.”

Another silence. I closed my eyes and rubbed them.

This was a nightmare. All because the department seemed to be more concerned with public perception rather than reality.

“Connor?”

“Hmmm?”

“What are you going to do?”

I didn’t answer. I didn’t know.

When we said goodnight, I almost said something else, but it stuck in my throat. Afterward, I listened to the dial tone for a long minute and mouthed the words as I watched my sideways goldfish struggle on, only to swim in circles.
