Agent Stephen takes a moment and smiles at Morris. There is a definite feeling of closeness between the former partners, given that Agent Stephen is no longer with the Chicago PD.
I ask Morris if he’s relieved The Scholar is dead, or does he wish he were still alive to be questioned?
“I’m just glad it’s over,” he says.
Agent Stephen nods his head in vehement agreement, his shoulder bumping against the detective’s.
It’s comforting to know that at least when faced with the mind of a brutal killer, our city’s detectives don’t have to go at it alone.
