Brian couldn’t believe she actually did it. He had half-expected her to squeal and run across the lawn. Points to her. He was temporarily distracted by a rustle in the bushes, probably a stray cat or a squirrel. It stopped as quickly as it had begun.
Brian brought his attention back to the girl. Should he tell her the truth or make up a story? He reconsidered her. She was incredibly close to his face. She had an exotic look. He wondered where her family was from.
Suddenly he felt like a dick for lying to her. “She’s in the morgue,” he said. “You um… you actually might be able to help me.” This time he meant it. “But it might freak you out, so feel free to say no. Would you mind standing in front of the garage?” He gestured toward the place where the woman had fallen.
Brian flipped his coat pockets and opened his coat to show her his empty waistband. “I don’t have any weapons. I’m just trying to get a picture in my head. It might help if I had a visual.”
