Deadline
“Staring at her through an oversized pair of large, geeky-looking black glasses was Thomas Philpott, the paper’s librarian and researcher.
“Oh, there you are Miss Cannon,” he lisped in a squeaky voice reminiscent of Truman Capote.
“I have that background material on the Wolfman killings you asked me for.” He thrust forward a red folder jammed with news clippings and other material.
“Thank you, Thomas. That was quick work.” Katie answered politely, shaking off a bit of a chill. She always found T...homas Philpott to be a bit creepy. He was something of a loner surrounded by his dusty books and files in the newspaper library.
Philpott was certainly not the most sociable person, but he was a treasure in digging up the most obscure facts for reporters. Most of them treated him respectfully to his face, but behind his back there were many who teased his effeminate mannerisms. Most were convinced he was gay. Cannon rather thought of him as asexual and probably still a virgin.
