Basil was staring intently at the skyline. It was one of the most unlikely of crime scenes. A simple street. Proving the innocence of his client depended on what one could view at this angle from precisely the spot he was standing. He was crouched slightly to account for a nine-centimeter difference in height.
And then someone was in front of him. His eyes narrowed at the figure who’d not only blocked his line of vision but, more egregiously, interrupted his thought process.
“Excuse me. You’re in my way. Kindly step to the side.”
Ivelisse turned, looking at the man who she finally realized was there. “one sec. Beauty calls. ” she said using the reflection to finish applying her lip stick. With a smack she smiled, flipping her hair a bit and smiling at herself. “Mmm perfection no?” she mused turning to look at him. Expecting validation.
