Before bed, Phoebe got a call from Shark, asking her to help out on a case. It had been a long time since she heard from the detective and even longer since she visited a crime scene.
When she arrived at the scene of the crime with Rekha, Shark was waiting for her. He was interviewing witnesses, frustrated because no one had clear answers to give.
This particular case involved a shooting with three fatalities. Two men from opposite gangs and an innocent old woman that had been crossing the road. It was in a downtown neighborhood, in one of those places where everyone's eyes and ears were closed.
Every witness Shark had interviewed had one answer, "I didn't see or hear anything."
"Is everyone in this damn neighborhood deaf and blind?" he roared to the skies. "Do you see this Phoebe? They are all deaf and blind." He jutted his finger out to the crowd behind the police tapes that was being held back by tired police officers.
"Hi," Phoebe replied.
