Harvey wondered if she had lied to him. She had promised to help him, yet after the cops showed up everything went crazy. He had to admit, it wasn’t completely her fault. He had watched her from the upstairs window after the cop forced her from the house. He had hoped she would come back after they took the body away. Instead, he helplessly watched as the cop put her in handcuffs and loaded her into the back of the police car. Perhaps he should have done something before the cop took her back outside.

He wondered if she was in jail. If so, then there was no way she could help him. Frustrated, Harvey made his way downstairs. He was halfway down the staircase when he saw him—standing at the doorway of the kitchen, snooping around.

“What are you doing?” Harvey asked angrily as he flew down the staircase.

The man looked up at Harvey and smiled.

“I forgot what an interesting place this is. Much more so than where I’m staying.”

“You need to leave,” Harvey ordered.

“I want to know what you did with the body. You did something with it, didn’t you?” the man asked. By the way he was standing, it was obvious he had no intention of going anywhere in the near future.

“What do you care?” Harvey snapped.

“I just want to know where it is. Can I see it?”

“The police took it.”

The man raised his brow. “The police? They took it, when?”

“Today. It’s not here.”

“What time today?”

Harvey frowned. “I don’t know.”

“This morning or afternoon?”

“I guess this afternoon.” Harvey shrugged.

“Hmmm…interesting. That might explain things,” the man murmured.

“Explained what?” Harvey asked.

“You did something to get them to find it, didn’t you?” the man asked.

“I suppose I did. So what?”

“What did you do?”

“Why are you asking me these questions?” Harvey wanted the man to leave. He made him uncomfortable.

The man stared at Harvey for a moment before answering. “I get the feeling you’ve been at this for a lot longer than me.”

“Yeah, so what?” Harvey snapped.

“I want you to help me.”

“I don’t want to help you. I want you to leave!”

The man chuckled and then walked into the living room. He glanced around. “This is a nice place you have here. Much nicer than where I’m staying.”

“So?”

“Maybe I’ll stay. Move in.”

“You can’t do that!” Harvey snapped.

“Why not? You can’t make me leave. If I want to stay, there really is nothing you can do about it.” The man walked over to the sofa and flopped down, making himself at home. Leaning against one arm of the couch, he rested his feet on the opposite arm.

“You killed that man, didn’t you?” Harvey asked.

“Took you long enough.”

“Why do you want the body back?”

“I don’t really want it. I just wanted to know what happened to it. I figured something had to have happened.”

Harvey eyed the stranger suspiciously. “Why?”

“One minute he was there, annoying the crap out of me. And the next—he just vanishes. Goes away. I rather liked that.”

“I still don’t understand what you want from me.
