the distance between us.

“Of course, sir.” The man agrees, leading me towards his desk, “I would never waste

including a number of items from your

mother’s room.”

“And?” I prompt him, wishing he would get to the point.

“Well my team has been going through that

evidence all week, and yesterday one of my

rookies came across a document we

previously missed – one which could explain your ex-wife’s motive for the

crime.”
