Andy was leaning over his work table, checking the groundplan of a building plan. Some changes needed to be made. He had to give this building plan to his mentor. If he didn’t he could fail his internship and that was about the last thing he wanted.
The problem was that he couldn’t stop thinking about Shannen. God, she’d made him so angry. He was so deep in thought he didn’t hear the knocking on the open door.
“Hey, Andy”
Andy looked up and saw the assistant of the manager standing in the doorway.
“What’s up? Big man needs a one on one with me?” Andy asked.
“The cops are here” the assistant said.
“What? Why?” Andy asked surprised.
“You can ask them yourself” the assistant said. She rotated her head. “He’s in here, あなた guys”
A 分 later two inspectors entered the office.
“Inspector Anderson, this is my colleague inspector Lee” inspector Anderson said, while both held up their ID’s. “We’d like to ask あなた some questions”
“Yeah, okay” Andy said, having no clue of what was going on. He looked at the assistant.
“Would あなた like some coffee?” she asked. They refused and she left, closing the door.
“That is not going to look good on his résumé” she mumbled.
Inspector Anderson pulled out a 写真 and put it on the table. “Do あなた know this girl?”
“Of course, that’s Shannen White, my girlfriend” Andy said.
Inspector Anderson pulled out another 写真 and put it over the first one. “Do あなた still recognize her?”
It was a 写真 of Shannen lying between garbage bags. Her head was bashed in and blood was mixed with her hair and covered half of her face.
“Andy-I can call あなた Andy, right?-where were あなた last night?”
