Sharona and Monk entered the office of Mark Sluvay. The secretary told them that Mark had been detained and would arrive shortly, asked them to have a seat at his desk, and left them alone in the office. Monk noticed that the chair behind the desk was turned sideways, so he walked over to it and straightened it out. As he did this, he noticed that all the papers on the desk were out of place and facing every which way. He started "tidying up" and Sharona was begging him to leave the papers alone. Then, Monk picked up a stack of papers and saw something fall out of it onto the floor. He kneeled down to look at, and saw that it was a picture of Mark Sluvay and Catherine, Julian's wife.
"Look at this picture, Sharona, they're kissing."
"Maybe it's just a friendly kiss," Sharona said.
"Have you ever kissed a friend like that?" Just then the door opened and Monk quickly put the picture into his pocket. Mark Sluvay greeted Monk and Sharona and asked how he could be of help. "Mr. Sluvay, how well do you know Catherine Sluvay? Are you close with her?"
"Um, well, no, n-not really."
"Is that so? This picture says you're lying," Monk said while holding up the picture that he had had in his pocket.
"Where did you get that?" Mark asked angrily.
"It's not important. What's important is that you and your brother's wife were having an affair."
"What's that got to do with anything?"
"It's got lots to do with everything. I'm 85 to 90% sure that Julian's wife killed Niles Sluvay, and you're the one who just happened to find the body."
"What? That's absurd. Why would Catherine kill Niles?"
"I don't know, why don't you tell me."
"Look, Mr. Monk, Catherine didn't do anything. She barely even knew him. And like I said before, Niles asked me to breakfast, so I went. I know absolutely nothing about the murder of my brother."
"I think you do."
"I think it's time for you to leave, Mr. Monk," Mark said in a threatening manner.
