"Can I help you?"
Detective Stirland loomed large before her.He flipped open his ID badge.
"Where’s Joe,Mandy?"
"What’s this about?" she stammered.
Stirland applied his weight to the door and the woman stepped backwards as it swung open.

She folded her arms defiantly,reluctantly.
"Joe, you’d better come out.The police are here."</span>
