"Since we're all here, guys," Rhett said, "I wonder if you could do me a favor?"

Metcalf shrugged. "Go ahead, Boss, you know. We're all hoping to get this damn bastard arrested as soon as possible." Rhett lowered his voice, as if someone in the parking lot would hear. "Listen, I know it's not appropriate to do this, but I need you two to help me do some research on yesterday's jumper. Uh, just do it while you're on duty, okay?" "Is this related to our 'scissorhands'?" Metcalf frowned, somewhat puzzled. Rhett looked at Metcalfe pleadingly. "Never mind. But you're doing me a huge personal favor by doing this."

"What do you think, Lee? The Detective Chief Inspector needs help. Can we help her?" Then to Rhett, "Leave it to us, boss. We'll see what we can do."
