Coldcliff Police Station, September 16, 3:05 p.m.
OFFICER OLDMAN: Let’s talk about your relationship with Mark Forrester.
BECK: We didn’t have one. He was some guy I saw a couple times at parties. That’s all.
OFFICER OLDMAN: Some guy whose nose you almost broke. Isn’t that right?
BECK: We got into it a bit. Once. It happens when people are drinking at a party. And he came at me. The guy was jealous. I guess he saw Tabby talking to me and was pissed off.
OFFICER OLDMAN: What were you and Tabby talking about at the party?
BECK: (cracks knuckles) I don’t even remember. Just small talk. I make small talk with a lot of people. Kinda like you and I are doing now.
OFFICER OLDMAN: Were you trying to get back together with Tabitha?
BECK: No. Just because I talked to a girl doesn’t mean I wanted to get back in her pants.
OFFICER OLDMAN: Mark didn’t file any assault charges against you.
BECK: Because he knew he was being an asshole and deserved it.
OFFICER OLDMAN: You claim you didn’t speak much with Tabby. But you talk to Tabitha’s best friend, Eleanor. Elle Ross. Isn’t that right?
BECK: (pauses) Not really. We’re not friends either. What does all this have to do with what happened to Mark Forrester?
OFFICER OLDMAN: We’re getting to that.
