(Sometime in Miami, prolly 1998, post Denji)
Doakes: "So, Reze right? You said you saw the guy run out the alley before the explosion?"
Reze: "That's right detective. I was just walking by, wrong place wrong time."
Doakes: leans forward "Yeah? Thing is, witnesses say you were in that café across the street for almost an hour before it went off. Doesn't sound like someone just walking by"
Reze: shrugs lightly "I like coffee, Is that a crime now?"
Doakes: "No, but lying to a cop sure as hell is"
Reze: smiles softly, not phased "I'm not lying, maybe your witnesses are just confused"
Doakes: pinning direct eye contact "Sure, I get confused, but I also read people and you're a little too calm for someone who just saw half a block go up in flames"
Reze: "Maybe I just handle stress well"
Doakes: "Or maybe you caused the damn stress. (
Momentary pause of clearance) There's something off about you Reze, I should've seen it before, the fake smile, your gestures. It's all a f*ckin act, and I ain't buying it."
