. while lisa's corporate abode reflected some interior decorator's determination not to reflect anything at all . the carpet was the color of dirt . it had a nubby texture , the sheen of cheap panty hose , and a discernible pattern - diamonds , with a mud-colored dot dead-center - that i assumed was intended to disguise the wear and tear of previous tentants . the rest of the one-bedroom space was monotonous and intentionally nondenomational . from the front door everything appeared to be beige where it wasn't white .
we wandered lisa's rooms in single file , the detective wass first . i brought up the rear . two things were clear : lisa wasn't home . neither were most of her things .
the living room was messy enough to raise eyebrows all around , but the place hadn't been tossed .nor had it been the scene of any obvious physical struggle . the bed room was neat . the units only bathroom looked a hotel batroom after the guest had left .
as i followed thew rest of column back toward the front door , i still wasn't sure why i had been invited , other than to hold merideth's hand because her fince' was out of town . she had maintained that i was supposed to be able to see something significant in the me that this suite wasn't lisa's home , a place where i might have situatuion . this apartment was the extended stay equivalent of a meager personal belongings lisa had brought with her as luggage had deaprted along with her .
it was also immediately apparent that dewster , the detective friend of a firend of merideth 's husband to be , wasn't getting any happier about the errand she'd been e=nlisted to run . her walk throught of lisa's place took mere moments . she reminded me of a potential buyer of a new home who had decided she wasn't interested the moment she entered the neighborhood . long before she reluctanly stepped inside the house itself .
