Jordan remained silent as Joel walked over and began to talk to Harper. She never liked the guy and when everything went to kingdom come she held nothing back as far as voicing her distaste in him. She always had a good sense for people even if they normally were dead. Still She knew what he wanted to talk about. Damage control was always on his mind these days. 

[b]"You sleep with a Bodega Bimbo and all of a sudden your worried how that reflects on you at work..."[/b] she muttered to herself. Jordan couldn't completely hear what they were talking about but she was sure it was yet another installment of [i]'I think you are over reacting and lets figure something out so i don't look like a bad guy even though I am totally the bad guy'[/i] play he had been trying to write with Harper for the past month.

Joel nearly walked off after Harper tried to blow him off and saying she was busy. How many times when she first arrived at a scene did she come and talk to him before even go to the body? He knew she was just avoiding him which was why they weren't working things out. [i]'Why the hell can't she just listen to me!'[/i] he thought in his head.

[b]"You didn't reply to any of my texts last night."[/b] Joel said harshly. [b]"I thought we agreed we would talk last night and then you blew me off?" [/b]

Of course Joel was the only one who had agreed to this meeting he planned. Every time one of his calls went to voicemail or his texts go unread it annoyed him more and more. She was a detective and they had to have their work phone on them when on call and Harper was on call at least twice when he called and texted.

[b]"Normally I run the north south route on Central Park West"[/b] Devin said. The women told him what they saw, but quickly the conversation seemed to go in the direction of jogging. One had asked if he ran and he was happy to say he did. [b]"Every morning except Sunday."[/b] he added when he could tell the next question was what days did he run.

The women continued to chat him up now seemingly completely over the trauma of what they might have seen. From what they had told Devin it turns out there wasn't as much of a scene made than Joel had reported. A few things made him wonder, but the women seemed pretty upfront and he wasn't worried they were lying.

[b]"If you give us your card maybe we can call you if we remember something?"[/b] The attractive Indian woman said with a smile. This earned a smile back from Devin who would have given her a card no matter what, but could pick up the vibes and felt good. 

[b]"Would be my pleasure."[/b] he said handing the cards out. They all took them and then after more than one tucked it under their sports bra another beat cop showed them out.

Devin walked back towards the scene to find Jordan waving him down to come and save Harper. [b]"I guess we don't need another body..."[/b] He muttered as he saw Harper and Joel speaking in hushed tones that were getting louder.
