“I know it sounds crazy, but it is true. That’s what he told me. This voice in my head. Not no fallen angel either else it would have told me to go ahead a shoot Billy.”

“Was here in California last night.”
“Right.”
“Detectives if this is for real, I would love to talk to him also.”
“Sure doc. We can probably make that happen.”
