Stiff students Part 3
"You got a suspect in mind already?" Even with his faith in David's abilities, he couldn't completely hide the incredulity in his voice.
David had been pacing the spacious room. At Jonathan's comment, he turned on a dime "Not a suspect," he corrected, "a person of interest. Someone who knew the dead girl, possibly intimately." He began pacing again, abruptly stopping and turned
"Do you take Con Hall pictures?"
"Of course. Haven't you noticed how scenic it is?"
"Doesn't quite float my boat, but hey, you're the dean"
"And you're the one who asked for pictures"
"Indeed. But I'm a simple man, plain surveillance pictures will suffice for me"
"We do keep those. That comes under the heading of new things I learnt when the police investigated"
"How old is the cache, any idea?"
"Two weeks."
"Excellent. How soon can you get them to me?"
"They're being loaded to my computer as we speak. Just out of curiosity, what are we looking for?"
"Stalkers."
"Amateurs or professionals?"
"Please. No professional worth their salt would work here; it's like takign candy from a baby. No, I'm talking infatuation-level stalker"
"Who you think did it?"
"No. That level of stalking doesn't lead to the level of planning that went into this murder. No, this is more of a person of interest."
"Here they are," Jonathan leaned in, "here's today's picture"
David came over to the other side of the desk and looked at the screen. He tapped one boy sitting in the first floor balcony "Scan through the pictures and find him"
Jonathan did so "He has no real pattern of sitting"
"Indeed. But scan through to when Rita was still alive"
"I'm still not seeing a pattern"
"Relative to her, genius"
"Damn...He's her stalker!"
"Indeed, he is. Adn that makes him our person of interest," David pulled away from the desk and crossed the desk again, "Can you get me an ID?"
"I'm asking tech. They should be able to match him to a Tcard," Jonathan looked at David, "You're going to interrogate him?"
"Not interrogate," David resumed his pacing, "just find out a few things. I'm counting on him being a good stalker."
"Until we get a match," David said, "humor me and walk me through the case one more time, please?" ¶ 7:27 PM
