 		[UPDATE] Anna Heath - 28th April 2006 - Making Excuses
Quote:
I'm sorry I've been lax about responding to your mail. I'm conducting exams next week, so I've had a steady stream of students coming into my office all day long for extra help, or to clarify what I'll be testing on, or to explain that their Great-Aunt Millie's cat has fallen very ill and can they please have an extension due to this family emergency? And on top of that, Roberto Solitano, my superior in the Languages department, has thrown me some extra departmental administrative work to handle. Though I suppose you aren't so interested in departmental politics, so I won't bore you with it.

Meanwhile, Fleming's birthday is coming up soon, and I'm trying to think of something wonderful to do for him, but it seems like my inspiration runneth dry. I'm starting to feel like I might have too many pots on the fire to all stir at once.

At least Oistin seems tickled pink by the data he's gathering. He told me this morning he's got his third survey up and ready for participants. I finally took a look at his surveys, and they do seem a bit whimsical, don't they? Still, he wasted a good hour of my time earnestly explaining to me his research objectives, and he does give an air of confidence that he knows what he's doing. He feels strongly that 'research doesn't have to be deadly dull.' Interestingly, this doesn't prevent conversation with him from being remarkably dull all the same.

Two questions, though, that you keep sending me in email, though I can't imagine why; you want to know precisely what Isaac's daily agenda said regarding Violet, and you want to know what's become of his personal key. I've long since thrown away the agenda. It seems a bit too macabre to just keep it hanging around. Still, from memory, I believe the item said:

* Violet go over Granier diary after hours doc preservation room

I could be slightly mistaken; Isaac's penmanship was atrocious, and it is from memory.

His key, though, was returned to me with the rest of his personal effects. I've not thought about it again, as the police went over it pretty carefully and didn't see anything useful. I suppose I could hand it over to Kurt and see what he comes up with, but I can't imagine he has tools the police don't.

Sometime over the next few weeks I'll be disposing of the key, too, as well as many of Isaac's other belongings - we're trying to arrange an estate sale, with the proceeds going to the Perplex City Historical Society, as per Isaac's wishes. The paperwork involved in this, though, is absolutely awful. It's sad enough having lost a dear friend; I wonder how mourning families are expected to wade their way through this mess of regulations?

Maybe we could ask someone to go to the sale, just in case anything
has been left amongst his stuff. Pill bottles etc.

 		Yes, because the murderer, if there is one, will leave all evidence at the scene of the crime.

I think Anna's 'button' at the moment is going to be her annoyance at filling in all the forms. Perhaps a nice sympathetic email about it would prompt her to take a look at his key for us?

Why would a murderer leave evidence deliberately?

I meant in case it wasn't a murder and something else was missed.
