Chapter 34: Dog fur case II
A month ago.
Previously.
Levi reached to touch the dog fondly, smiling down in delight. Marco smiled at the sight of Levi, petting the dog happily.
"What breed is he?" Levi asked, the man looked down at Levi and said, "Coton De Tulear" earning a nod from the blond psychologist. After he was satisfied, Levi stood, thanked the man and shook his hand, and left.
Marco and Levi made their way towards their car, parked a block away from the Dixon’s store. The bearded doctor smiled at his friend, "Are you thinking of getting a dog yourself? You’ve been particularly fond of dogs since Mo." he asked, noticing that even before, Levi likes animals more than he did people.
Levi turned to look back at Marco, wondering if he was serious. Seeing that the doctor was, he frowned. He found Marco’s claim outright absurd and he rolled his eyes at his cluelessness. "No, you’ve mistaken Marco," he informs the bearded man.
"Then why were--" Marco started, but Levi waved his hand over his navy blue Armani suit. "Have you seen this suit?" Levi asked the doctor. Marco tilted his head in puzzlement, eyebrows crumpled as he trailed behind the psychologist. "Yeah, what about it?" he asked, wondering if his friend was being smug about his luxurious taste in fashion.
They reached the car and Levi unlocked the doors with his key, and stood at the driver’s side for a moment to explain. "Dog’s shedding would ruin it," he said in a ’duh’ tone, pulling the door open.
Marco stood at the passenger side, looking at the blond in confusion.
"Then why did you--" Marco asked the blond, confused as to why he acted the way he did moments before.
Levi stretched his arm over the hood of his car and showed Marco his right hand. Between his fingers, was a pinch of white dog hair. "To get this of course," he said. Then retreated his arm and got in the driver’s seat before Marco could say another word.
Marco hopped in the passenger seat just in time to see the blond man, pull another evidence bag and place the pinch of dog fur inside after labeling it with a marker.
