Tony spent the rest of the night talking to police. It was nearly 2 a.m. before they let him return to his motel room. A campus cop had first crack at him. He was a young kid and scared – he nearly puked when he saw the body – but that didn’t stop him from being a real prick. He wouldn’t let Tony leave or go anywhere or talk to anyone. He made Tony stand outside in the rain while he radioed for his boss and shooed onlookers, occasionally pausing to shoot Tony a look that suggested that this was all his fault. Finally, the chief of campus police showed up. He was older and more conciliatory. He wore a suit. He offered coffee and let him answer questions inside.
