"Ugh," I heard Annie groan, "We have been looking at this stupid file for hours and still no leads."
"No wonder the Chief was having such a hard time." I replied, looking through the papers again, "Maybe we missed something."
I quickly glanced at Annie, she was studying her half of the file on the other side of my bed. Her eyes were intense even with the dark circles under her eyes. The Sun was unfortunately drifting down slowly as our lunch was getting cold.
"They should have had an interview with Finnick and Charlotte Lard." I heard Annie mumble, snapping me back to reality.
"Who?" I asked while scavenging through my pile again. "Finnick and Charlotte Lard? Andrea's parents?" She replied like I should know who they are. I went to the interview section in my pile "Is this it?" I asked as I gave her the paper.
"Yes!" She said as read she read it aloud slowly;
