“I had to pick a girl’s name,” he said. “And I liked Sofia because of the pun.” He looked up into the detectives’ blank faces. “Sofia means ‘knowledge,’ so saying, ‘did you know’ right after is . . . clever? At least I thought so. No one cares about that kind of thing, not in a pop song, but it makes me happy.”

“But Sofia’s based on a real person,” Delgado said.

“I don’t want to talk about it.”

“You don’t have to,” Kat said. Delgado objected and Kat added, “We can wait on the lawyers for the rest of it.”

Tim shoved himself back between the cushions. One fell over, and Kat helpfully placed it over him. He listened to them as Kat gave them the second name she’d been looking up—the record label lawyer who processed the hate mail. They also asked her for the names of anyone in her crew who was at the party last night, and she gave them half a dozen names, mostly publicity people. The techies held their own parties, in their own hotel.

“I can still hear you,” Tim said, loudly.

“I’m sorry we bothered you,” Delgado said. Her voice was close; she was leaning down toward the cushions. “I know this is a really stressful time.”

Tim leaned so that he could see through the gap between the cushions. He looked Delgado in the eye. “You think this is stressful?” he said. “This is nothing compared to Shell Cancer.”
