John was in Bo's office discussing the murder victim from the day before when Rex barged in.

"Bo, I need to talk to you!" Rex said stopping short when he saw John sitting in a chair against the wall. "Oh, oops. Didn't realize you had company."

"What is it Rex?" Bo said sternly. He liked Rex but sometimes he was a bit much to take. He was actually proud of the kid for the way he had handled Jen's attempted murder and departure from Lanview. Plus Rex really cared about Natalie and that alone was reason enough to at least be polite to him.

"I just wanted to tell you that I found out something about the murder at Lanview University." Rex said smugly. As he turned around to look at John he noticed a tall dark haired woman standing at the receptionists desk. Her back was to him but he could tell that she was one good-looking woman. She was talking to the receptionist who pointed toward Bo's office and said something to the woman. The woman turned around to look and Rex gasped "Wow! That is one hot woman!" He breathed. John and Bo looked not saying anything they just shrugged

"Well, What did you find out?" John said a bit annoyed, although even he had to admit the woman was attractive, albeit a bit young for his taste as she couldn't have been more then 22 years old.

Rex shook his head as if to clear it and said, "I talked to a girl on campus that said that she was sure she saw Marsha receive a music box in the mail. She said it really freaked Marsha out."

Bo and John looked at each other. This couldn't be good, Bo thought. I looked like there really was a serial killer loose in Lanview.

Rex noticed the look exchanged and said "What? I really hit on something didn't I?"

"Rex you know we can't talk about current cases with you." Bo said. "But if you were a cop that would be a different matter." John looked at Bo strangely. While he didn't much like Rex he could see that Bo liked him. But encouraging him to be a cop? What was he thinking? On the other hand it could keep him out of trouble. That would please Natalie.

"Be a cop?" Rex said, scoffing. "I spend enough time in this station as it is. But I have been thinking of becoming a PI." Being a PI was something Rex thought about a lot since Jen had left Lanview. He had liked finding the clues and tracking down the witnesses, but he didn't want to do things the cop way. He had his own way of doing things and sometimes they were not always legal.

"A PI huh?" Bo said. "Have you looked into it?"

"Not really." Rex said "but I plan to soon. Well, I have to be going now. Just out of curiosity who was that woman at the desk?" Rex asked thinking maybe he could look her up.

"I have no idea" Bo said, "I have never seen her before."

Rex looked at John questioningly. "I don't know who she is either. Why don't you ask Gail?" John said getting up to leave. "I need to see the victim's mother about that music box." John said to Bo. Bo nodded and motioned for Rex to leave as well.

John's cell phone rang as he was reaching for his coat. He looked at the caller ID and saw it was Evangeline. "Damn" he said remembering that he was supposed to talk to her today. He seriously thought about not answering it, then decided that he might as get it over with. He knew she would not be pleased that he was going to have to put off their meeting again but it couldn't be helped.

Rex went over to talk to Gail who was the receptionist. Then came back over to talk to John who was on the phone, getting yelled at if he wasn't mistaken. John hung up the phone and shook his head in disgust. "Hey, John" Rex said, "Have you seen Natalie today? She was supposed to work today."

"She had something she needed to do today, but she should be back later. Why?" John asked, glad Rex hadn't said anything about the call he just had. He knew Rex had heard Evangeline yelling at him and didn't really want to talk about it. As it was John had to have lunch with Evangeline tomorrow to make up the fact that he had ditched their meeting twice. He hoped he could find some way to get out of it tomorrow.

"Just wanted to talk to her about something." Rex said vaguely. Then smiled and said to John "I did find out that foxes name from Gail though."

John rolled his eyes then asked, "What was her name?" Knowing Rex wouldn't leave till he said everything he wanted to say he decided to play along.

"Her name was Willow Summers," Rex said, "and get this, you lucky bastard, she was looking for you." Handing John the card she had left for him.

John looked at the card then flipped it over. The front of the card read.
