The Naked Beat

I knocked on the door and Jeffrey opened it. He had a weak smile on his face that I could tell was forced, but at least he hadn't given up completely. He greeted me, shook my hand, and invited me in.

"It's good to see you again, Jake," he said, and I could tell that was genuine.

I smiled, "You too, Jeffrey. How are you holding up?"

He sighed, "I alternate between crying and getting so angry I could kill someone. But I'm taking it one step at a time."

"That's all you can do. I may have a lead..."

    Jake's caring side emerges again. More killing soon I guess though.
