Marc, Maddy and Carvelli walked out the Fifth Street exit of the Old City Hall Building. The wet, sloppy snow was still coming down as they stood on the granite steps. A city sidewalk sweeper was driving past going to their left. A light rail train went by heading to their right.

While they waited for the sweeper to pass, Carvelli looked into the falling snow and asked, “Is this gonna be one of those winters that drags on until Memorial Day?”

“Don’t even say that. The suicide rate is probably rising even as we speak,” Marc answered.

Maddy, the only one wearing a hooded winter coat and boots, her arm hooked through Marc’s, asked, “You think they’re satisfied that I didn’t do it?”

“Your alibi is an esteemed lawyer, and we know how beloved lawyers are with cops,” Carvelli answered.

“Yeah, especially when they need one,” Marc drolly replied. “Owen Jefferson knows you didn’t do this.”

“True,” Carvelli said. “If you had done it, they’d each have of a lot more bullet holes than just one.”

By now the sweeper had passed and the three of them turned left and walked behind it toward Fourth Avenue. Unable to park in the Government Center across the street, Marc parked in a ramp on Fourth.

“That’s not funny,” Maddy said faking being offended. “Why is he always picking on me? If you were really my boyfriend, you’d defend me and beat him up.”

“First of all, he has a gun. More importantly, I agree with him,” Marc said.

Even Maddy laughed and Carvelli said, “If I didn’t tease you, you’d think I was mad at you.”

While they waited for the light on Fourth Avenue, Carvelli received a call. He listened a minute then said, “Stay with her. We’re downtown and my car is at Marc’s office. If she leaves, call me. Ms. Rivers and I will be along as soon as we get a car.

“Dan Sorenson,” Carvelli said. “He’s got Cassidy Rogers at a gym.”

“Great, let’s get her,” Maddy said.

“I’m not doing anything. Do you have the photos and drawings?” Marc said.

“Yes, they’re in the car in my bag,” Maddy said.

“Let’s go,” Carvelli said stepping off the curb to cross Fourth.
