An Unwilling Contribution

Godrick got out of his truck, only noticing the police vehicle as he did, and stayed next to his door.

As the police truck rolled next to him, they lowered their window.

"You were driving a bit fast there, Godrick. You in a hurry for something?"

Godrick looked into the police truck, recognizing the officer in it.

"Officer Grant. Funny seeing you here. I thought you were looking into my sister's disappearance."

The officer looked at the black SUV parked behind Godrick's truck, as well as the people disembarking it. That included the Asian man he had just seen walking toward Godrick, who was now as still as a statue.

Pointing at them, the officer asked Godrick a question.

"Friends of yours?"

Godrick spun his head, seeing who he was pointing at, and almost froze. Godrick was always a terrible liar, and he despised lying.
