"so, you only got a partial?" Tanner was speaking to his forensics buddy at the DSI.
"yep, sorry bud, whoever made it was careful and even though they messed up there wasn't enough to get a full print, I'm trying to identify the paper for you, it might help?" the guy said.
"thanks bro' we should get together some time and catch up" Tanner said while a sullen Will sat close by listening to the conversation.
"oh, a friend of mine saw your picture on my phone, she want's to meet you, are you interested?"
"not really, you know I don't have time for dating" Tanner replied as Will sat up a little bit straighter.
"go on man, just a few drinks"
"sorry bro but I don't want to give her hope, I'm flattered by her interest though, please thank her for me" Tanner replied
"ok, at least I tried, well as soon as I know more about the paper I'll be in touch"
"great, thanks, I owe you one buddy" Tanner said ending the call.
"so ... what's the latest?" Will asked.
"he could only get a partial print but he's trying to find out where the paper came from?" Tanner told Will.
"I don't know why the police couldn't have done this in the beginning?" Will complained.
"maybe they didn't think it was a serious enough problem yet or maybe it's funding issues, unfortunately it's often too late by the time the police get the go ahead to do anything. To be honest, as security, we're not supposed to investigate crimes but KJ has friends in high places and he and Chit are good friends with the top man at the DSI so we try to help if we can ..." Tanner shrugged
"so, he asked you to go on a date?" Will asked.
"mmm, he said one of his friends saw my picture on his phone and she wanted to meet me" Tanner replied looking uncomfortable.
"I'm glad you said no" Will said.
"don't be too glad, I said no to you as well" Tanner replied.
"yeah but you really meant yes, you know you want me" Will said smiling before adding,
"so what do we do now?"
"we wait, just carry on as normal and see what the person does next? it might help if you could think of anyone who's shown an interest in you recently, male or female? perhaps around the time that the letters and calls started"
"ok but wait, if the person thinks I'm cheating doesn't that mean they've seen us? they must think that you and I are dating which means they are watching both of us" Will said.
"yes and if they believe that you are cheating on them then they also believe that you are in a relationship with them, this is stalking Will, whoever it is could be dangerous ... you have to try and think who it might be even if it sounds foolish" Tanner said looking around the apartment.
He decided to close all the drapes afraid that they were being watched then he called the apartment complex security, he wanted to review the security camera footage to see if there was anything suspicious on there but the letter had been posted through the mailing system so he didn't really expect to see anything.
"don't worry Will, whoever it is we will catch them and then it's up to you how you want to proceed" Tanner said.
"I hadn't thought that far ahead to be honest, at first it felt like someone was just pranking me but now ...?"
