“That is what we are trying to find out, Councilman,” Christian says calmly. “I was alerted at five o’clock this morning of Nancy’s murder and we’ve been investigating her death since that time.”
“Perhaps we should take this inside, so that we can have a more private conversation.” Councilman Johnathon says.
“Absolutely, if you’ll follow me,” he says.
