When Angels Cry
Chapter 8 – Where do we go from here?
The next morning, Jordan arrived at work to be confronted by Nigel. "Alright luv, spill it. What else do we know?"
"Apparently in the box of evidence from his trial he had a list of his 'clients' and guess who was on the list?"
"Matt."
"Nope, Harold Seely, Matt's father along with all the other victims except for Charlie Glutton."
"Really? What do you think this means?"
"Your guess is as good as mine Nige, all we have done now is connected all the bodies."
Framus walked into the morgue. "Did Jordan fill you in Nigel?"
"Yes, but where do we go from here?"
"Well, you could start by including me." They all turned around and were faced with a disgruntled Lily. "Nigel can I see you for a second?"
"Sure luv." Nigel and Lily went slowly to a place where they could be alone.
"Nigel, what happened last night?"
"Well, I came over and we drank martinis and ate pizza. We watched a movie, afterwards you fell asleep, I tucked you in, cleaned up and left. Why luv?"
"I couldn't remember anything."
"Lily, you know me better than that. Do you really think I would take advantage of you? I am hurt. I don't want to hurt you Lily, I want to take your pain away."
Lily noticed a side of Nigel, she never realized existed. She knew he was a very considerate friend. He was the best person to talk to when you needed help and he would never judge you. However, she noticed a very romantic side of Nigel. He was so sweet and loving. She realized, she cared for Nigel, a great deal.
"I'm sorry Nigel, I guess I am just really upset. I feel like everyone is talking over my head. I want to be a part of finding out why Matt was murdered and I was hoping you, Jordan and Framus would stop excluding me."
"Well, we'll have to ask the other two, but I guess it wouldn't hurt."
Jordan and Framus were sitting in Jordan's office, discussing where they should go from here when Nigel and Lily entered the room. "Hey Lil, how are you feeling?" Jordan asked sympathetically.
"I'm feeling the same as I have been for the past 2 days. I want to be included in this Jordan. I was the only one that liked Matt and I want to be a part of finding out who killed him."
Jordan and Framus didn't know what to say. They knew this case was only getting worse and didn't know if Lily would be able to control herself. However, they knew they couldn't keep her from the information so they decided to tell her everything they knew.
Lily sat horrified as Slokum knocked on the door. "What is going on in here?"
"We finished the autopsies yesterday and sent Detective Framus the reports, now she's here to discuss them." Jordan said.
"Well why is Ms. Lebowski involved?"
Framus then spoke, "because she was the only one who knew Detective Seely well and I was wondering if she could give us any answers."
"Detective Framus, please put on your visitor tag and all of you move this into the conference room. Dr. Cavanaugh there is someone here to see you, he said his name was Harold Seely."
They all looked up wide – eyed. "What are you all looking at me like that for?"
"Nothing," they all said in unison.
As he walked away he muttered to himself. "That's it all the employees are getting drug tested."
Jordan wandered out to meet Harold Seely. "Dr. Cavanaugh I need to speak with you privately." He said.
