Chapter Fourteen
Comic Convention help desk…
Colby and David waited patiently as the secretary looked for a name with Miles, both just hoping that they weren’t misled with a fake name.
Fortunately, the secretary found Victoria “Vicki” Miles, much to their relief, though they wondered if this was going to be yet another dead end.
The agent found said woman talking with an older woman, presumably her boss, something about the schedule when the two agents approached them.
“Can we talk to you Miss Miles?” David asked
“Sure, is it about Jack’s death?” Vicki asked, not surprised
“Yes, it is, we wanted to talk about some of his works that you may have helped out with in recent weeks.”
“Yeah, I helped him out a bit, though the work was still somewhat rough the last time I checked it, as it needed some more tweaks before it could be shown to someone in the industry to see if he had a shot.”
“When did you last see him?” Colby asked
“About a week before his death, as he wanted to get my input before he was going to another artist to get another opinion to see how else he could improve.” Vicki answered
“Do you have that guy’s name?” Colby asked
“Oh it Ben Thompson, and he is over at one of the main artists booths there.” Vicki said as she pointed to a man around Marlowe’s age, who looked slightly nervous, which piqued the agents’ interest in him.
“Thanks.” David said as he and Colby headed over Ben’s direction.
Before they even got a decent few feet, Ben spotted them and quickly ran, to the confusion of everyone that was near him.
“Oh he knows something.” Colby said as they raced to catch up with the man
“No kidding.” David agreed, as they knew that they caught a break on the case, though they weren’t sure if they had found the killer or not.
