"I don't understand."
*Genghis stumbled back into the chair, somehow managing to sit. How could she just go on like this wasn't...weird?*
"But you're...you didn't drown?"

Oh Monte Cristo.
"I...forgot, it appears I bear some resemblance to the deceased. It can't be helped, though--I've been assigned to this case and there's nowhere near enough manpower to justify switching for the sake of alleviating a little awkwardness."
"Your son, monsieur."

"Oh." *Genghis had to let that news sit. Maybe a sister. Or twin. Or...*
"He...they were always amicable, as far as I can remember." *He managed.*

"Do you know of anyone who might have any reason to wish the woman dead?"

"No." *Genghis shook his head decisively.* "Of course not. Why would anyone want that. She was...a very noble woman."

"Right."
*She made another note.*
"In that case, we're going to have to file this one as a suicide."
*She snapped the file closed.*

"No!" *Genghis was on his feet, his hand catching her by the wrist.*
"You can't. She wouldn't."
*His eyes were desperate, but he released her and stepped back as the office rushed to her side.*
"I'm sorry. I just can't believe that she would take her own life."

"Believe it, Monsieur Khan," *she said coolly.* "Unless you're willing to admit further knowledge of any foul play in this matter, all evidence concurs with an intent to end her own life."

*Genghis's eyes were a little wild, but he did what he could to calm himself.*
"There is nothing else."
*What if she had killed herself? Could she have?*

"Then I have no further questions."
*She left the room, wondering where the hell Smecker was.*

*Smecker was leaning on the wall right outside the door.*
"So what do you think?"
*He looked perfectly confident.*

*Smecker nodded, waiting for more.*
"And what about the other part. His relation to the victim."
*He lifted his brow questioningly.*

"Strangely insistent, for an ex-in-law. They had their differences, it seemed, but he said they respected each other."

*Smecker shook his head, his hair bouncing slightly.*
"No, I heard him say that. What didn't he say, when he told you that?"
