It was late when Jack returned to the office. The lights were still on. When he opened the door he heard voices coming from the office. He recognized David’s, the other was a female. He cautiously opened the door to the office. Jenn was sitting on top of David’s desk, David was sitting in his chair with one of her stockinged foot in his hands. Jenn’s curls were a golden waterfall cascading over her shoulders. David rubbed her foot and her mouth hung open, her eyes squeezed shut. Jack cleared his throat loudly. Jenn’s eyes shot open, and her cheeks flushed. David dropped her foot.
“Jack!” cried David, “Didn’t here you come in!” Jack eyed David and Jenn.
“So what’s this?” he asked with a sideway’s grin. David stood.
“Uhh. Umm. Foot massage.” stammered David.
“I can see that.” said Jack. He walked over and hung up his coat and hat before turing back to David and Jenn. She was pulling her heels back on, avoiding eye contact.
“Did you talk to Dr. Watcher?” asked Jack.
“Uh, yeah.” said David. His eyes starred at the floor
“Well, what did she say?” questioned Jack. David reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out a notebook. He flipped through the notebook until he got to the page he was looking for.
“Ah. So, Doctor Watcher did confirm that Mr. Grove did come to see her. Although…” David trailed off.
“Although?” coaxed Jack.
“She said she couldn’t tell me what was discussed in the sessions.” grumbled David. Jack mulled this over. Of course she didn’t tell. Psychologists have non-disclosure agreement. They legally aren’t allowed to talk about their patients. Though I bet police could get a warrant for that though. he thought. Jack walked over to his desk and sat down. He pulled the baggies containing the feather and the shell casing, and laid them on the desk.
“What are those?” asked David.
“Just some things I found in Mr. Grove’s office.” explained Jack. David picked up the shell casing. He peered at it.
“Nine-millimeter, Hollow point.” relayed David.
“Exactly. I figure someone used a pillow as a ‘poor man’s silencer’, shot the glass and threw Mr. Grove out.” explained Jack.
“But why didn’t they just shoot him?” contemplated David. Jack let him think about what he just said. “Oh, to make it look like a suicide. Right.”
“And once Cordell gets us the information on Jewel and the security tapes from the tower. We should be able to wrap up this case!” said Jack. "I'm going to head home, get some sleep.”
"Yeah You look tired. Get some rest” said David. Jack took his coat and left the office
“G’Night.” he said.
“Night!” called Jenn.
"Wǎn ān!" said David
