Law School Murders: Almost Cold
The office of the dean looked stately and staid. It featured few if any modern furniture. A desktop computer was the only sign of the twenty-first century. Kim sat across from Heather Boskin. As a sixty-three-year old grandmother, she had gray hairs in her dark brown hair that matched her dark brown skin.

In the house on the hill, on the other side of the tracks, a card game was underway. This wasn't the sordid poker game that you're probably picturing. This was a classic game of Go Fish - adding to the wholesomeness, it was happening on one of those physically big card sets adorned with an overly-large font and clad in the images of goofy cartoon fish. Sitting around the table, and thoroughly engaged in the game at hand, were a motley assortment of characters. The ones who initiated the game (and were currently in the lead) were two young girls, sitting directly to the left of them, at the head of the table, was Fred, the grandfather of one of the girls - and the Guardian of the household. Filling the remainder of the table were five men between the ages of 35 and 60 - all looking as shady as their pasts. It was a sight, that's for sure, but for this group of misfits, it was a pretty average Friday night - Fred's granddaughter and her best friend come over for game night and all the guys gather 'round to partake in whatever game they choose. About halfway through their third game of Go Fish, they heard a dog bark in the distance. Other than that, the night was filled with contemplative silence and giggles.

The next day in class was a bit weird. Kim gave no indication that one of her students wanted her dead. She just scanned the faces in the lecture hall. It felt as if she were closing in on someone and then had to switch her glance.
