Wordle #1047 – DIARY
A small battle of wills ensues, neither of us wanting to be the first to break the charged silence.
Palumbo’s eyes stay on me as he pulls a pack of gum from his jacket pocket and pops a piece into his mouth—nicotine, I’d bet. He smacks it loudly between his teeth, mouth open.
I cross my arms and level a steady look at him, not letting my gaze follow the younger officer as he disappears down the hall.
Finally, Palumbo concedes with a shrug, but I don’t feel like I’ve won.
“So, where were you on October twentieth?” He asks casually, like it’s of no more importance than asking Alexa the time. “The day Mr. Liu disappeared.”
I shrug back.
“Why don’t you take a look at my diary? I’m sure you’re dying to get your mitts on it anyway.”
I don’t actually keep a diary, but he doesn’t need to know that. Best to keep him guessing.
