We had gone to school together as children and he was the leading detective detective and sheriff in our county. I watch Claire through the window of the corrections center as I wait for him to answer.

“Leo? It’s been such a long time, man. How the hell are you?” His chipper voice responded after the second ring.

“Hey Mason, I’m doing alright these days. I wanted to talk to you about something really important.” Pleasantries were important in most settings but this was dyer.

“It was good bust, Leo. I promise it went by the books.” He answers in his defense as he had been the leading detective in the investigation.
