Waist Deep

16

I spoke with three more teachers, but didn’t learn anything new. After that, Bill was plenty happy to walk me out to the parking lot.That happiness evaporated when I asked him to call a cab for me.He had to wait with me for it to arrive.We stood in silence for five minutes before I tried to rebuild some of the bridges between us.

“You’re head of security here, right, Bill?”

“Yup,” he grunted.

“Probably have a pretty good pulse for the school and the student body, don’t ya?”

“Yup.”

“Did you ever see anything going on with Kris Sinderling that might help me find her?”

“Nope.”

And then we stood in silence for another fifteen minutes until my taxi arrived.So much for making peace.
