I was quiet for a long time, and Helen respected my silence. I cleared my throat. “Why do you need me there?”

“For one, to confirm the woman’s ID. Second, you might know our John Doe. And finally, to give us your medical opinion.”

“My opinion?” I said in a monotone. “You’ll get far more from the CSI team and the forensic pathologist.”

“Ever since they got that hit TV series, those CSI guys are insufferable.” Helen chuckled. “Besides, maybe you can add something. You see a lot of stabbings, don’t you?”

“One or two.”

“Can you drop by here on your way home? The address is—”

“I know the address.”

After all, I had once lived there, too.
