"We'll have to get our stories straight," he said, some of the tension in his shoulders fading. He'd been to enough crime scenes to know what a struggle looked like, however. It wouldn't be that difficult.

His hand moved impossibly fast to reach out and catch his glass before it shattered on the floor. He felt his hand curve around the glass, just as Vaska buried his face further into the back of his couch and went silent once again.
