Brian took one last look at the ground and retreated to duck under the crime scene tape.
“Um… I’m an analyst. Crime scene analyst. My buddy called me in for a second opinion.” With this he thumbed towards the unmarked police car, a four-door sedan. He tried to keep the sour taste out of his expression. Referring to Wilt as a buddy was like stepping in a pile of dog shit and claiming that he liked the smell. Really he just wanted to wash it off.
As he glanced at her in the dark, Brian felt a pang of anxiety. What exactly was he supposed to be analyzing, bullet trajectory? He should have pretended to be drunk instead and just meandered into the trees to pee on something.
Brian put his hands in his coat pockets. What was she doing out here? It was freezing and the middle of the night. “You’re in luck. If you like this house, it’ll be on the market soon. I’m sure it’ll be reasonably priced,” he said dryly.
