"So, seems anyone could have gotten access to that bathroom, not just the guests. Suspect pool's wide open." Campos tells me.

"Alright, start with statements from everyone at the party. Someone saw Symon go into that bathroom." I inquire.

"Okay." She walks off.

"I still can't believe it." Mom heads over.

"I'm sorry things went down this way." Jim tells her.

"Don't apologize, you were right."

"Did you give your statement already?" Clark asks.

"I'm afraid I wasn't very helpful. Till about an hour ago, I couldn't pick Symon out of a crowd." Mom replies.

"Did you talk to Barnes at the party?" Jim wonders.

"A little. We had a drink."

"Symon died around ten thirty. The attack happened just before. What time did you talk with Barnes?" I question.

"Nine. What is this about?" Mom furrows her eyebrows.

"Nothing."

"Nothing? Really?"

"I can't talk about it."

"No."

"Mom, I cannot talk about it." I turn.

"Baby." Mom turns me around. "I know I raised a smart girl. I hope you know what you're doing."

"I always do, mom. Can't the say the same for you." I walk off.

"Barnes? No. No, no, no, no, no." Harvey shakes his head.

"I asked Symon who attacked him, and he said Barnes." Jim tells him.

"Symon was a psychopath who gave face transplants to the mob using stolen faces. Hardly a credible witness.
And this guy, Barnes? If he so much as jaywalked, he would write himself a ticket."

"I know."

"And now you're saying he went toy your mom's engagement party, and out of nowhere, busted some guy's face and chucked him through a wall?" Harvey looks at me.

"I know, Harvey." I nod.

"What's the motive?"

"I don't know, maybe he...he saw Symon, he got pissed he was released, and he lost control."
