A glance was all she needed to read the short note. She made a quick nod that could easily be interpreted as agreeing to follow their Mystery Man on a tour of the crime scene.

Not impossible, as she had come to understand. As for being someone used to reading a crime scene? Livvy wasn't buying it. He used incorrect terminology and formed conclusions without any apparent information from sources other than his own statements of the obvious.
