Clearly, he disagreed.
"Mr. Blackwood... This case already has too much media attention, I already told you that. Allowing private investigators into an official investigation could hinder the progress we've made so far."
I looked at him incredulously.
"What progress have you made?"
He remained silent.
"Tell me. Who tried to kill my wife?"
Nothing.
"Do you know yet?"
Silence again.
"When we spoke a few days ago, you told me you had a suspicious vehicle, that you had a witness... That you would review security camera footage."
I leaned slightly toward him.
"What happened with all that?"
The officer took several seconds to answer. When he did... His voice sounded different.
More tired, or perhaps, more sincere.
"I'm going to be completely honest with you."
I crossed my arms.
