A Thin Blue Line

[Kislath]

"Fine. I guess I'll take my leave, then,and I won't have to call you later. Have a nice day." I flash her my smile. My special one.

I get outside, and then call in backup. She wants to do it the hard way, we'll DO it the hard way. She's now my top suspect, at least as far as she's concerned, and she'll be treated that way.

I didn't say "laptop." I said computer. If Herman was killed for whatever was on it, and she knows about it, well, what else can I think but that she's the killer, right?
A first name is not proper identification, either. I can bust her just for that. Thank you, Supreme Court.

On the other hand, if they try to leave, I still call it in and request backup in the pursuit and capture of persons of interest in the murder of a local 23rd precinct cop. That should garner interesting results.
