THIRTY ONE

Nico walks into Steve's compound just in time to see Steve all dressed up in that sheriff uniform that clearly holds no honour, getting ready to leave for work.

"If you are here to remind me of your threats, I don't have time. Crisis in town, a dead body was found." Steve says the second he sees Nico. He walks down from his porch.

A smile spreads out on Nico's face. "Lucky you, I think I am responsible for most of the crisis around town."

Steve halts his movement. "And the dead body?" He says, knowing well he won't like the answer that will come out of his mouth.

"I may or may not be guilty." Nico shrugs.

He knows never to admit a crime.
