Does the cop give Ricky directions to a coffee shop or something? Does he have a strong enough reaction to be being caught watching us that my AWFUL Sense Motive roll picks up anything worthwhile? I'll assume not...
Ricky turns back to Trask, tucks his notebook away. “I’ve seen everything I need for now. Are you ready?” He returns to his seat, picks up his hat and coat, and heads for the door.
One the way out Ricky stops at the duty officer’s desk. “Thanks very much for your help, Sergeant. We appreciate your cooperation.” He turns to leave, then turns back and asks, “By the way, what watch is Officer Rypien working?”
After they agents leave the building, Ricky says to Trask, “Let’s be careful what we say around the local police. It looks like they’re trying to sweep this under the rug. I don’t know how much cooperation we can expect.”
Ricky thinks for a moment. “She was dead for three days before her body was found. Hopefully the coroner can tell us if she was in the dumpster that whole time or not. I’m guessing she wasn’t.” He looks around the street. “I really do want another cup of coffee. Does the car have a road map in the glove box? I’d like to plot all these locations, see how they relate to each other. I’m thinking coroner first, then the crime scene and the car before we head for Westwood. Whaddya think?”
