    "But, who's this?" I showed Liam a contact named 'The Times Harold'.

"I don't know," Liam mumbled. He had a napkin crumpled in his hand, held in a vice grip. "He never told me about this.... This creep." His voice was quiet, sad.

"Are you sure? He seems like a possible suspect."

"I said I don't know him," Liam huffed. I could tell his patience was wearing thin. "I'm sorry. It's just... You don't seem to be helping. You're just showing me pictures of stupid things that don't matter."

    "Don't matter? Don't you see the clues? He was hiding something from you, Liam. It's time to face the facts. When Niall skipped work that day, he wasn't ill. That night when you couldn't come over and he made excuses, he was definitely being suspicious."

    "What would a guy like Niall be doing? He's too innocent to be doing anything bad. Name one thing he could be doing."

"Hooking up with all the wrong men."
