[ He does suspect it. It's not anything personal, really, it's just that with the volume of heroes that have been brought here, everyone thinks that what they have to bring to an investigation is all that that investigation needs. Bruce at least has some hubris - this one, anyway - and knows that other people have talents that he can reach out to. He's a talented investigator, but he can't look into a person's eyes and get a reading of their personality. He's not an attorney, or a police officer, or a superhuman from another planet.

He isn't trying to take over, but he can help. ]

I did see it--and your own response to it; which was proportional, I think, but may have opened her up for further retribution.

[ By which he means: don't be too guilty. Also he's investigating you, too. Because he's a professional. ]

As far as you know. A partial lab report was written, correct? And the police should have a preliminary report from the scene--photographs? I can get them, if you can't access them yourself.

[There's a heavy silence on Will's end, not because he feels any guilt over his "slipping" her file out there for the world to see—he certainly does not, and there is a good reason for that. Other than him having done quite worse and not felt guilt.]

They should, yes. But it won't be much. They didn't have her for very long before the second call came about her having disappeared. They didn't even have time to start, you know, scraping under her fingernails or combing through her hair for evidence...basic starting points. I didn't need to see any pictures when I came in, all her personal effects and the description were. Enough. [And he was dealing with an Abigail Hobbs currently in maximum freak out mode, so he didn't have as much time that day to hang around and demand reports, the few pictures they'd taken. Plus the disadvantage of being a bait shop owner here, nothing more.] My response, as you called it, wasn't...mine. It was ours. Freddie and I came up with it together to ease some of that retribution.

[Go ahead and investigate, Batman, he doesn't care. There's not much to find that he won't admit to, and what there is he would never want to admit to has been gone without a trace left behind for months now. He'll even help out with that, so readily confessing to a staged performance he felt even Hannibal Lecter would have had difficulty seeing through for what it was. Good times, getting to be Graham and Lounds butting heads again, normal Tuesday for Baltimore. Honesty delivered in a decidedly deceitful way? Nothing out of the ordinary for home, and nothing that Will Graham felt was beneath him, or hesitated over. Even Chilton bought it, which was a moment of victory. Sad victory, but still.]
