"Sorry that's what we are trying to do, we need to ask you some que...." getting cut off.
"My bad, you detective Michael right?" Anthony said, with a grin.
"Yes this is me, it's been a long time," Michael confirmed.
"What's up man, you still look good bro," he said.
"Thanks, you are looking great and handsome yourself man," Michael said.
"Yeah you know I'm trying to improve myself for the ladies, you know?" He said confidently.
"Hahahaha," Michael laughs.
"Can we move on please guys?" Tiffany asked, getting very irritated by their off topic conversation.
"Who this? Aw don't tell me, you that ol female detective from back then?" Anthony asked, refreshing his memory.
"Yes this is me," she said.
"Nice to meet you again, beautiful," he said flirting.
"Do you even care about finding your friend?" She asked.
"Yeah I do care about my friend," he said.
"It doesn't seem like you care at all," she said.
"What questions yall need to ask me?" He asked, sighing, and getting offended.
"Do you know if anyone at your school may have some grudges against bullies who could be responsible for these murders?" Michael asked.
"Haha, that's funny because we all did have grudges against D'Angelo and Maron for messing with us as kids, man, every nerd, geek, loner, timid, whatever hell you wanna call it, the outcast kids who didn't fit in with the cool cats had grudges and hate against D'Angelo and em," Anthony said.
"I understand what you are saying, but we really need to find who is committing these murders," Michael said.
Tiffany went on and told Anthony the examinations of those dead boy's bodies to why they think the killer could be someone the boys knew.
"So what y'all telling me is, this killer could be a grown ass man that has a grudge against D'Angelo and Maron and them other bullies that happened years ago? And you think it could be one of us?" Anthony asked.
"Yes," Michael said.
"Hell naw, I know none of my friends couldn't possibly be involved in this shit," Anthony said.
"We just trying to clear suspects here, we need your prints for this," Michael said.
"Okay, I can give it to y'all. You know I tried to wash out all of the bad memories keeping myself busy chasing the ladies, and I had to accept that Timothy was probably dead but, I miss him a lot," Anthony said.
"We know, and understand that you do," Michael said.
"So yeah I'm ready, imma let my mama know I'm going with y'all to check my prints," Anthony said.
