"I am Detective  Ross , this is my partner Detective Foster ,now your employee Mr. Allen Sanchez along with one of your security officers ,Jason Schwartz were found mutilated in one of the vacant homes over the memorial weekend. May you explain how did Thomas Nomen come into the picture shows he isn't on any of your employers list, You recently  hired Jason , Allen has been working for for some time ? "

 Detective Ross and foster stood in a downtown office speaking to the owner of the property, a middle age blond woman named Beverly  wearing a grey pant suite and glasses which hung from nose . Sitting at her  desk with her fingers interlocked on top of her desk . Piercing her eyes at both of them .

"   Well ,it is a tragedy , I must say , Ill tell you what I know then I must get on I have a ton of work to do today, Um Allen been working for me for years . He  had been accused of stealing from the Laundry room  , I gave him time to find someone to replace him and that is  when I was introduced to Tom they worked together all weekend long to finish up the house they were almost finished , but, yea . Any ways , Jason was a sweet young kid who was to be honest  some poor kid from the ghetto I thought he needed the job. He was a bar back at a bar I  go to from time to time. They got the job done , and I have no knowledge of everything that goes on up there   . Jason had no experience in the security field, it pissed off Luis , The fat one . Luis is my second cousin my mom wont let me fire him. Jason I could tell could be easily trained  and  that's all I know. Ross and Foster it was.?"

Detective Foster grabbed one of the  chairs and swung it around and startled it looking back at Ross who was still standing .

"I'm lost ,Beverley , was it ? you had some one securing your property, homes with children and so on , you thought they were safe , with a bar back guy ? "

The woman threw her glasses off and leaned back on her chair. 

"he mainly just sat in a booth , and nothing ever liked this ever happened, in the months he worked for the security team.  "

Detective Ross sat next to Foster in another chair.

"If you were going to fire Allen , why would you still have him hanging around there ?"

" He needed to teach the other guy , i had eight houses ready to be rented to in only a few weeks , minor things needed to be fixed , he gave me his word he'll only work on the empty homes and for the record he did . overall he was a good worker, minus the laundry incident."

"What did he steal exactly ?" Foster interrupted .

" Um it was a Mother and daughters load , Allen went to fix the broken dryer and the mother said their underwear was missing  after he worked  the dyer ,  I cant say if its true , So I gave him a couple weeks to help finish the remaining houses . " Bevlery had a annoyed looked on her face when she spoke to Foster 

Detective Ross stood up handed her a card  " Keep in touch , im sure something will come to your mind , maybe when your to busy . " Ross thanked her and started to walk away with Foster following behind . 

Before he got to the door Foster stopped and turned around "Oh , sweets, what's the name of the bar Jason worked at ? I may need a drink later " 

" you and I both , its called the Deck  " Beverly started down at her papers not looking a Foster. only to look up to remind Foster of her name . " Beverly , not sweets"    

Detective Foster winked and  lingered a few seconds hoping Beverly looked up from her mahogany paper filled desk  before  turning back  to the door.

Detective Ross and Foster headed back to the community homes to ask the neighbors what they heard or seen . They got nothing . No one knew of anything . But one thing they had in common , was that the maintenance man.
