As I tried to finish telling Janet about what happened, she kept interrogating me with questions. She was starting to get on my nerves.

"I already told you this, Janet. Someone... well lets just call them the--"

"Unknown Killer" Janet interrupted as she was about to take another sip of her drink. 

"Fine, the "Unknown Killer" escaped probably right after he fired. I didn't see anyone in that room. Neither did Jim."

Janet tilted her head to the side and looked at me. "Are you sure Jim didn't see anything. He could be lying, you know."

"No, he would never lie to me! He's my best friend. I can't imagine him doing such a thing." I said as I looked down on the floor.

"Well Ben, what do you want to do about... this whole situation?" 

Janet knew that answer. She just never liked to say it. Janet has been known to never work in pairs with someone. She never liked to work with someone else... she never liked sharing the glory with someone else. 

I looked at her and she had this puzzled, confused, worry type look on her face .

"Come on Janet, it's not like I'm asking you to marry me! Just to work with me so we can both figure this case out and go on with our lives! Will you work with me?"

Janet looked at me and saw that the expression I was giving her was no laughing manner. 

"Okay, Ben I will work with you." She picked up her drink and drank till the last drop was gone.

"Okay, good then... I'll see you tomorrow at 9:30 on 4th Street. Don't be late!"

I paid my bill to Jerry & tipped my hat in Janet's direction. I walked through the busy dinner & walked out the door.
