ME: 5.33 p.m.

I do.

COP: 5.34 p.m.

Are you well liked? You’re not a loner or a weirdo?

ME: 5.34 p.m.

From your previous definitions, I’m probably both.

COP: 5.35 p.m.

Right. It’s just some students and a teacher mentioned some strange behavior.

ME: 5.35 p.m.

Strange, how, Detective?

COP: 5.36 p.m.

A lurker. Someone who may be stalking.

ME: 5.36 p.m.

Sounds particularly heinous.

COP: 5.36 p.m.

Yes. Heinous is a word for it.

ME: 5.37 p.m.

I remember that from the opening of Law and Order: SVU. It stuck with me.

COP: 5.37 p.m.

ME: 5.38 p.m.

The television show. Mariska Hargitay is hot. I’d let her cuff me any day.

COP: 5.38 p.m.

Are you into all that kinky shit? Cuffs and whips and stuff?

ME: 5.39 p.m.

Asks the person who carries cuffs on his person. Gold!

COP: 5.39 p.m.

I carry these as a requirement

ME: 5.39 p.m.
