“Well, well, well, we meet again,” Detective Stewart said slowly and theatrically. A short cigarette dangled from his lips. Up close, Moses saw the strong outlines of his face. He had a defined jawline and sharp cheekbones. Stubble decorated the lower half of his face, attempting to hide its better features. His teeth were yellow and not straight. He reeked of smoke and leather.
Moses assumed that he was a man who liked to work alone when he sent Jude out of the room for the interrogation. Moses favored Jude a bit more than he cared for Derek McCall, the dead sheriff. He had witnessed Derek being outright rude to his fellow Amish brothers and sisters, but at least he could think of a few instances where Jude acted kindly to the community. The more he thought about it, he was starting to think that there may be quite a few people who wouldn’t care if Sheriff McCall were dead. Not that he would ever say that to this scowling man before him.
“Well, I’m glad you kept to your promise and reached out to me when you found him,” he smirked, lighting the cigarette. Smoke danced in front of his face. He inhaled a short puff as if it were a cigar and blew it out, the smoke hitting Moses directly in his face. Moses coughed, annoyed, knowing that the smoke would cling to his beard.
“Not a smoker, I take it?” the detective asked knowingly, with a slight shrug of the shoulder. Moses glared at him.
“No, I don’t smoke or drink,” Moses said with a set jaw. The detective fell back on his chair, with an overly dramatic surprise expression.
“Well then, what are your vices? I mean, how do you relax after a long day of killing someone?” he asked. Moses clenched his fist under the table. Fear and anger surged inside him. What was this guy trying to do? Did he seriously think he killed Derek?
“You don’t have to worry about that because I have never killed anything in my life,” Moses responded with a condescending tone. The detective laughed mockingly. “You sure about that, Moses? Because the evidence is not looking good for you.
