Thicker Than Water
“Colin and I said nothing for the longest time. We just stared down into the corridor and then at each other. “I really didn’t expect to find anything,” I said. Only in the desperate recesses of my mind had I been holding out hope that I would find something behind these walls.

What would have been the point in hiring a private investigator? She would have just called you and told you to come over and watch the panel in the closet.”MoreLess
