"Let's hear about your progress on the missing person's case. You know, the one that's taking you away from me."
"You crack me up," she quipped. "I haven't spent that much time away from you." She pushed her dish aside and finished chewing the last bite. I spoke with Detective Jensen today."
"And?"
"And . . . well, he wasn't so nice at first."
"I guess you really can't blame him, can you?"
"No. And I told him that. It wasn't until he'd asked about Abby's parents that he realized why I was doing it, and he apologized for being so rude." She sipped her wine. "The funny thing is, Abby has typed up warrants and stuff for him, and he never made the connection as to who she was."
"I guess I can understand him being rude at first, but I'm glad you found common ground to work. What did you find? Anything?"
"Not much, except . . . Jensen told me Abby never saw the surveillance tape."
"Why is that?"
"Her father."
