The detective listened to his answer with nods and a few questions.

Maybe he had interviewed her already. He couldn’t remember if she messaged him first or him.

The detective took a long pause.

“Oh no, no uh that’s just how the Blue Man was, he was I guess a fan. A really big fan.”

“Of course. Of course he was.”
