Thanksgiving Romance
Chapter Three
While the band was continuing playing. Everyone was enjoying themselves with the food with Turkey, stuffing, three types of veggies with gravy, Beets and other side dishes. Anyone could order liquor accept the young children having soda, water or orange juice.
Meanwhile Robert was interviewing some of the guests for his special project. And during this time Cynthia had gone to the ladies room to freshen up. She met up with Captain Kate Beckett talking on her cell to someone from the precinct. "Jose please be sure to leave me a full report on my desk in the morning." She says to the voice over the phone. "Good night.!" She replies with putting her cell-phone back into her purse.
"What happened Captain Beckett?" Cynthia asked with curiosity in her demeanor.
"A body was found down by the harbor. It looks like the male was choked to death with the rope burns as evidence. The press is going to have a field day with this one being the third in the past few weeks." She takes in a deep breath into her straining lungs.
"What are you going to do about it Kate?" She uses her first name with asking the question.
"Using all of our resources in finding the murderer. No doubt I will be asking my husband to consult on the case as well, along with his employees from his private investigations.." She said to the young woman having interest.
"Can I help Kate? I am a communications specialist. I can get the word out over the Internet with setting up a website asking for anyone that might have knowledge in regard to the case. What do you think?" She responds with a smile on her face.
"Sounds like a great idea Cynthia. I will talk with the police commissioner to see if we can have a budget to pay you while helping out the police with informing the public." She goes to hug Cynthia before leaving the ladies room to head back to there tables.
Meanwhile Robert was looking for Cynthia to finish up the last of the interview for this evening. She was coming out of the ladies room when she saw him calling out to her. "There you are. I wanted to ask a few more questions before the evening ends."
"Sure! Where do you want me this time?" She says with energy in her over all personality.
"Over by the decorations for Thanksgiving Cynthia." He says with holding onto her hand until the cameraman and lighting technician came over to set up. While they were setting up. Robert asked her a question in her ear from any one listening in. "Would it be ok if I take you home to you're apartment? We can let you're parents know before they leave at the end of the night."
"Fine Robert. I am old enough to take care of myself, along with making the proper decisions." She says to him with a smirk on her face.
