"Uh, no, not really. I was just wondering what you were up to and if you needed any help."
"Solve your case?"
"Yeah. It turned out to be a suicide after all. We found a note and a journal. She had it all planned out for months. So, do you need any help?"
"No. I was just going to do some paperwork. You go take a break and get something to eat. I'm sure something else will come in soon." And with that he went in to his office.
