Jeffrey nodded in response to Toshiko’s command, and laid the trays atop a table in the center of the room, opening the roll trays in an invitation to the others. He listened to the explanation of the case, absorbed the input while taking what plastic cups remained in the office, and filling then up from the sink with water. [i]The Daidouji family huh?
