Secrets & Surprises: Exposed, Accepted & Acted Upon

Chapter 95

At BPD-A Little While Later

Maura's in the cafe when Jane walks in.

Jane: Did you start the autopsy on Steve Sanner?

Maura: Just about to.

Jane: Okay. Well, call me if you get anything.

Maura: Of course.

They kiss and Jane walks out.

Up in the Bullpen

Frost: Checked criminal records for everyone who attended your reunion.
Everybody's pretty clean.

Jane: How many of them have alibis?

Frost: About half.

Jane: So we have 75 suspects. Swell.

Frost: Okay. Got something.

Jane: Ohh, God.

Frost, Lindsay & Korsak chuckle.

Frost: Nice eyebrows.

Jane: Don't you mean "eyebrow"?

They laugh.

Frost: Oh, a senior quote. That's sweet.

Jane: No, don't read. Don't. It's dumb.

Frost: "Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind."

Jane: What? I like Dr.Seuss.

Frost: Look what I found. Korsak the thespian. What, were you the referee for the "Sonny & Cher" show?

Korsak: That play was cutting-edge for its time. It got great reviews!

Frost: Okay.

Jane: E-excuse me. Steve Sanner was a friend of mine. Can we get back on track here, please?

Frost: Sorry.

Jane: Thank you.

Frost: Steve Sanner and Rory Graham the day Graham Biomedical announced production of the Melee Valve. Nothing I could find on either.

Lindsay: Steve and Rory were like brothers.

Jane: In fact, Steve was the only person Rory was ever nice to. One time, Steve threw a football through a stained-glass window. And Rory took the blame for it just so Steve could go on a date.

Frost: Must have been quite a girl.

Jane: I don't know about that.

They look at her.

Jane: It was me.

Frost: Like I said. What do you think these numbers mean? They're in the "notes" section of Steve's phone.

Lindsay: Bank accounts maybe?

Frost: Maybe. They're too long to be I.P. Addresses.

Korsak: Russian phone-sex lines?

Frost: Oh, yeah, that was my first thought.

Korsak: Insight from a case I worked.

Frost: "The case of the lonely detective."

They laugh.

Korsak: Oh, ha ha ha ha.

Frost: Steve made a few calls to a local preschool.

Jane: His kids are 10 and 12. Why would he be calling a preschool?

Frost: And six calls to a Debbie Tibbet.

Jane: Yeah, I saw them talking at the reunion. Damn.

Frost: She's married to Edward Tibbet.
Guy owns a company that designs software. He's worth about $50 million.

Jane: Damn. I knew I should have been nicer to him. Just kidding. Good for him. He was always a sweetheart. Yay.
Great.

Frost: Just found a few more calls between Debbie and Steve. Any chance they might have been having an affair?

Jane: I don't know. Let's go ask Debbie.
