now.”
After the detective and his partner walked down the stairs and were alone, Gallagher suddenly felt protective.
"Be careful out there. If this Promise group is tied to the Taylor girl's disappearance you’ll be in danger. Page me immediately if you run into any kind of trouble. Okay?"
Larsen smiled at the sudden rush of paternal sentiment in her partner. "I got it Gallagher. See you around, Irish!"
Gallagher couldn’t resist a trivia question, “Hey, who was the original actor cast as Indiana Jones?”
Larsen looked dumbfounded, “I have no idea.”
The detective laughed, “Tom Selleck. But, he had a contract to do the pilot of Magnum P.I. so he said no.”
Larsen was confused. “I have never heard of Magnum P.I. See ya, Gallagher.”
With that she walked down the hall and out the door to her car. Gallagher suddenly felt old.
"Hey, Gallagher," a voice rang out, "The lab just came back with something you might be interested in!"
The detective turned and saw one of Dr. Lowe's assistants coming quickly towards him. He asked the predictable question, "What’s that?"
The lab assistant smiled, "The outdoor vacuum picked up a hair from Allison Taylor!"
Gallagher sniffed, "Big deal. That just proves that she walked along the sidewalk. We already know that!"
The assistant continued smiling, "Yeah, but there’s a fiber intertwined with it, a strand of black hair. Jet black."
That could be a significant piece of news, or not.
It could mean that the abductor or the friend who helped the Taylor girl disappear had black hair. It could also mean that the black hair could have been in Miss Taylor's hair earlier in the day.
It could mean something or it could mean nothing.
Gallagher was thinking strategically in his mind, “ If we finally get a suspect in this case, we can compare hair samples. I need to see Dr. Lowe.”
"Well, it’s not much, but it’s something!" The lab expert walked with Gallagher down the hall in silence as they both tried to somehow put this newest revelation in perspective.
The frustration they felt was buoyed a bit by this new finding, but it was still meaningless until they found someone's DNA to match it.
As Gallagher sputters, Elie Larsen aka Bree Kelly pulls into the parking lot of the Colony school and heads up the back stairs to her new "home." As she unlocks the door she quickly realizes her roommate has moved in as well.
She drops off her last box of resource books and flops on the bed. As she sits waiting for Verna Oden, she notices some of the items that belong to her room partner.
She looks around the room and casually drifts over to the other side facing the door in case Miss Oden drops in without warning.
There is a duffle bag on the bed and it contained basic toiletries. Hairbrushes, deodorant, toothpaste, feminine hygiene products, hair spray, shaving cream, razor, hair dye, make up kit, powder, skin lotion and an intriguing bottle of hair dye.
Elie keeps her eye on the door and pulls out the bottle of dye. “ She dyes her hair.”
Looking at the bottle she noticed it wasn’t purple or orange in coloring but basic black. She thought to herself, “ The girl wants black hair, I wonder why?”
She pokes through the remaining contents of the bag and sees nothing else that is revealing about her roommate. She carefully puts the articles back in the soft case and walks over to
