They stood at the door, both hesitant to enter. They'd both observed the same thing.
Goren abruptly turned back to the receptionist. "I noticed... is that a thread on your pocket?"
"Oh, sorry!" she said. "It's dental floss. The only time I can floss is on my way to work, and sometimes I forget it's there."
Eames said, "I heard flossing's important."
"Yes, plaque bacteria can cause heart disease." The receptionist plucked off the string, but before she could drop it in the trash, Goren gingerly caught its end. Eames was already opening a small evidence bag.
"You see," Goren said, "we found dental floss on the body - guess you forgot it was there."
After the woman was led away in handcuffs Eames shuddered. "She flosses on the subway? Those poor commuters."
