A Fine Time to Leave (part II)

Like a good detective, I jotted down a few questions I wanted to ask Joe. Put them in a manila folder, with a bunch of other papers related to this case. I like to come armed with a case file that looks more substantive than it actually is. I positioned the chairs in a way so that Joe’s voice would carry directly to the microphone in the room. I placed my folder and keys at the far end of the table, relegating him to the seat closest to the door. That way, when I would tell him that he was free to leave anytime, he would believe it.
