... your relationship with Mr. Williams?" "Well, certainly. But might I ask why?" "Mr. Williams filed a criminal complaint. He was assaulted, he claimed by a Mr. Mason and Mr. Williams' ex-wife. Now, those two are dead under suspicious circumstances." With that introduction, I told them about BHA, Williams request, our suspicion of fraud, and the continuing investigation. The two policemen listened carefully. "What if Williams wanted you to harm Mason? Or Williams' ex-wife?" I laughed. Not a nervous, oh my, kind of laugh - rather a that's a ridiculous notion kind of laugh. "First, Williams never asked such a thing. And second, no matter what he asked, I am willing to do nothing which is against the law; let alone murder." We talked for quite a while. Police investigations are bizarre if you ask me. They ask irrelevant questions, then go back and ask a significant question, over and over. I was asked if I would do a contract killing - no, that's against the law. I was asked if I would have Mason assaulted - no, that's against the law. After a while, they were either satisfied, or sick of their questions or my answers.

I asked, hoping to hear a favorable response. "They've been better." There is common decency. It would demand asking why things had been better. Then, there is common sense. It would demand leaving the topic alone. It's not that I lack decency, but I chose to sit and wait. Dave was apparently happy just sitting, too. Not five minutes later, six police officers walked into the outer office. Dave looked at me and said, "Who knew they'd do autopsies on the bodies. The police ruled out an accident since my Ex and her love were dead before the car went off the road." The police walked in, "David Williams? You are under arrest for the murders of..." They were walking out the door and I was in shock. Who saw that coming? I sat there only about a minute and Chuck called me into his office. He saw my look and said, "Don't worry. I'm sure Dave knows not to say anything until counsel shows up." "Okay?" I said, though clearly it wasn't. "I am sure he'll have a great lawyer and will never be convicted." "Chuck, it seemed to me he is guilty as hell." "Oh, I am not talking about ...
