Still reckon I’m a fake, captain?

Bernard Sorrell @BernardSorrell

I know you’re a fake. Your name is not Baby Angel. The real you has yet to come forward.

Baby Angel @BabyAngel

Ah, dear captain, this is but a moniker I need to hide behind to do the Lord’s work.

Bernard Sorrell @BernardSorrell

Funny, you’ve never mentioned the Lord until now. I don’t believe you’re the religious type. You’re a phoney.

Baby Angel @BabyAngel

You have got me there. I never was one for Bible class. But that doesn’t mean the rest isn’t true.

Bernard Sorrell @BernardSorrell

I tend to believe if you lie about one thing, you can’t trust the rest.

Baby Angel @BabyAngel

Tell me there wasn’t a man matching Schroeder’s description at that motel and I’ll let you be.

Sorrell had discovered that not only was there someone matching Schroeder’s description at the motel, CCTV footage had confirmed his identity. It was advantage, Baby Angel.

Baby Angel @BabyAngel

Well?

Bernard Sorrell @BernardSorrell

Yes, Schroeder was there. Now tell me how you know.

Baby Angel @BabyAngel

All in good time, captain. But first we have to catch our killer.

Bernard Sorrell @BernardSorrell

Suspect. Schroeder is a suspect.

Baby Angel @BabyAngel

Person of interest, suspect, whatever. I’ll just call him The Killer. So what’s our next step?

Bernard Sorrell @BernardSorrell

There is no we. This is a police matter.

Baby Angel @BabyAngel

Don’t get so protective, captain. Remember, Baltimore Police wouldn’t have heard Schroeder’s name if it hadn’t been for me!

The captain looked at his screen and muttered, ‘Funny, I was just thinking the same thing.’
