Michael toyed with his phone where he sat. It was an idle, unconscious movement of his fingers turning the slim silver rectangle over and under. He was seating in one of those police interrogation rooms where they interview witnesses of crimes to get their side of the story. The room contained him, the chair he sat on and its twin, along with the wide table on which he rested his forearms.
He touched the screen on the phone and watched it spring to life. Fifteen minutes had passed since he'd last checked. Michael gave a little sigh of resignation and tucked his phone away, wondering when the cop who'd left him in there would return. They'd already begun the interview, and Michael had told them everything they were willing to believe and more.
