George felt his t-shirt on his lower back. It felt like summer nights when you couldn't sleep. Where the only cure was a cold shower. 

He gulped. Or water. 

The alcohol had left him in the past ten minutes and he'd become acutely aware of his senses. It was late,...

“I just need you to walk me through what happened. Or what you think happened.”

The detective spoke then looked at him the same way he did in the rearview mirror. There was a mixture of curiosity and doubt. That he couldn’t figure out. It was like he had already given...

He hated how Steve said it. 

He sometimes would call Steven Steve. Even though he knows it annoys him. He liked doing things like this to...

Other people in the office didn't shave. There was another guy, he didn't much like, Steven, but he always came smooth faced and ready to go. George didn't get in until about 9, this guy always talked about getting in at seven. He'd say things like "Early bird gets the...
