Summary : Written for the Primeval100 challenge 497, Under Investigation

“How would you describe your relationship with your wife, Professor Cutter?” DS McLennan asked.

Nick knew there was nothing to be gained by lying but, however he dressed it up, this wasn’t going to sound good. He finally settled for, “Volatile.”

His solicitor barely suppressed a wince. Maybe honesty hadn’t been such a good idea.

“Had you argued that morning?”

Nick threw caution to the winds. The solictor might as well earn his exorbitant fee. “Yes.”

“What about?”

“Anomalies in the fossil record.”

Nick knew from the look on the copper’s face that he was in for a rough ride.

lol I would love to hear Nick be honest about all of that crap. And then proved to be right when an anomaly pops up an hour later.

The trick, of course, is for Nick to go into exact detail about what anomalies in the record.

Oops. Yep, a trifle too much honesty - but I'd love to have seen the look on the copper's face.

And bigtitch is right - go into lecture mode and dump hundreds of details on them. Watch their eyes glaze over.

Maybe too much honesty, but I agree, if Nick went into lecture mode, all eyes would glaze over.

LOL! Poor policeman, I feel sorry for him. And Nick's solicitor *g*

*snort*

This is so Cutter.

Ouch! Honesty doesn't always work very well, poor Nick!

Probably not the best idea to annoy the nice policeman... Though I would love to sit in on that interview!
