A Skeleton in the Family (2013)
“The first step was to check the JTU faculty list. I saw some familiar names, including Charles’s, but unfortunately I didn’t know anybody in the right departments. Still, I had access to a room full of people who might, so I started making my way around the office.
I started with Kazmi. She was in chemistry, which didn’t have anything to do with skeletons, but she knew more of the other adjuncts than I did and gave me the name of somebody else to talk to, who referred me to yet somebody else. Eventually I heard tell of a biologist who’d worked at JTU for two years and, even better, it was thought that she’d cataloged specimens while there. Unfortunately, the biologist in question was Sara.
Since she already didn’t like me, I was reluctant to devise a new cover story. Most of mine didn’t even fool people who trusted me, let alone somebody like Sara. But I wasn’t going to tell her about Sid, either. Instead I was going to try to finesse the situation with a subset of the truth.
